HORI Split Pad Pro Attachment Set - Ergonomic Controller for Handheld Mode & Wired Controller - Officially Licensed By Nintendo - Nintendo Switch;

Bought this Controller for my Oled Switch and its amazing; the grip is just about perfect; no downsides with it; 100% way better than the originals; would 100% recommend it everyday

This feels like a substantial upgrade for playing Switch games in portable mode. The buttons are bigger, the joysticks are bigger, the D pad feels comfortable, and the added paddles on the back are handy. It also has a turbo and autofire setting for buttons. This is exactly what I wished the joycons were. Potential drawbacks are no rumble, amiibo or gyro features are included with the splitpad. Also, I haven't found a way to test it but I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that the bigger analogue sticks make them more precise. Safe to assume that at best they are just as good as the Pro Controller that Nintendo makes however even those sticks have a shorter range measurement than say an Xbox controller. You can test this on PC in Steam with the analogue stick calibration settings. None of that matters to me though. This is the best way to play the Switch in portable mode in my opinion. I wouldn't even consider getting a Switch 2 until Hori makes a version of these for it. I'm just not a fan of the joycons, they are way too small.

I was looking for a controller to add to my switch collection that actually fit my hands, as long periods of use end up with painful and cramps, and this is the solution. If you also have larger sized hands, you need to get these as they are so much more comfortable. Sure, you do lose the motion tracking from the original controllers, but with the joycons, that’s at the expense of comfort. I end up choosing these every time over the joycons. The buttons and joysticks feel premium, and have a great feel in the hand. I would recommend these to any of my friends, including you.

Siempre me han gustado los controles grandes, porque tengo manos grandes y un control pequeño es muy incómodo de jugar, pero este control es grande y adaptable tiene esas luces rojas, y un modo turbo y unos botones programables por sí solos se puede programar y copiar la función de cualquier otro botón del control, tiene una lectura rápida de movimientos, no se me ha trabado ni una sola vez. El control es simplemente perfecto, me preocupaba que no sea inalámbrico, pero tiene un cable tan largo que ya no es necesario que sea inalámbrico, es justo lo que buscaba es realmente bueno la entrega llegó rápido, no tengo ninguna desventaja que decir sobre este control, me encanta el diseño, el tamaño, los las funciones, lo adaptable que es sus botones adicionales, su tacto, el material todo es mi opinión sincera, le doy cinco estrellas sólidas de mi parte, realmente me encanta, y ahora mismo es mi control principal, no pienso usar otro control que no sea este, lo adoro.

I bought these to replace another Hori split pad set, which lasted 6 years until they met an untimely demise (sheared off after a kid dropped my switch down a flight of stairs...) This version comes with a wired USB dongle that they can dock into, turning them into a wired USB controller for the switch. Worth noting: when the controllers are attached directly to the switch, they present as JOY-CONS. When they are attached to the wired adapter, they present as a USB GAMEPAD. This matters for some types of games that don't support gamepads. The added versatility is nice, because many third-party options show as gamepads regardless of how they attach to the Switch. The controls are decent for a third-party product. They won't match Nintendo, but they are good enough. They feel comfortable for larger hands, and my kids prefer them over the original joy-cons. The biggest downside to this unit, are the number of features left on the table: no gyro, no rumble, and no power of their own (must be attached to the switch or the gamepad dongle). If a game requires detached joy-cons or gyro controls, these won't work for you. That said, they are one of the few third-party options that properly present as joy-cons when docked into the switch. All of these third-party options make compromises to hit a competitive price, and you will have to decide which compromises make sense to you.

Hori Split Pads are my absolute favorite switch controller, hands down. Being able to then utilize them in the same way as any other standard controller type, as opposed to only operating in handheld, is just perfect. I already owned a set of them, the gold and black Pikachu edition, but I love them so much that it was worth it to me to order this with an extra pair, just to have a spare set! I do wish it could work wirelessly and be recharged, but it's not that big of a deal to me in the grand scheme of things. Also, the cord length is quite ample, so no issues there. No lag/latency from inputs, no fuss, just plug and play perfection. These are worth the purchase!

I have big hands, so the Joy-Cons are my least favorite controller. This one is way better for big hands, or if you want regular-sized buttons. Only downside is no Gyro, but you can use it handheld or Wired and it works GREAT. Bought it 2 years ago and just remembered to review it, but it's been working great since then, no issues.

We've been getting annoyed with our joycons as of late and have really wanted to get another pro controller. I have heard about HORI's history with Nintendo and knew they were pretty decent 3rd party accessory-makers for a long time. From the looks of the reviews we saw, they were still good, so I went for this. This ergonomic one, in particular, is great for my hands. I've got arthritis slowly creeping up on me, so normal controllers sometimes hurt the longer I play. This one has been good to me. It took a little bit to get used to its grip, but it didn't take long. It's comfortable, and I don't mind it being only for handheld and pro-controller use only. That's pretty much what I would be using it for, anyway!
