Hori Split Pad Pro (Black) for Nintendo Switch (Nintendo Switch)

These feel so comfortable in your hands, and it makes playing games so much easier, especially people with bigger hands.

I have rather large hands and the joycons on the switch bring me a lot of discomfort if I use them for longer than half an hour. I had a 9 hour flight coming up when I initially looked at this product and it seemed ideal so I bought it. Id say I played for a good 3 hours with no cramp in my hands. Just like playing with a normal controller. In addition the programmable buttons on the back are fantastic for games like Zelda as you can't run and direct the camera on a normal controller without a very strange hand placement. This makes it much easier as you can just map the run button (b or x) to one of the programmable buttons on the back. However, I did experience a slight glitch where the controller would think I was aiming to the right on the left stick. This meant my character would start walking (we're all familiar with this from old controllers). The good news is that upon restarting the console the glitch seemed to stop and the controls were back to normal. I should say that this could have been an in game glitch or the controller. Either way the product still works now and if it broke today I'd buy another :)

Excellent product that has revolutionised gaming on my switch. Playing FPS games felt unnecessarily difficult using the standard joycons. This pad changes the whole experience and makes games like DOOM, Metro and Sniper Elite play far more like their console counterparts. Incredibly smooth and precise thumbsticks Feels more akin to an Xbox controller in terms of feel and layout. Makes the switch feel somewhat similar to a steam deck too. Very solid feeling product. Has additional triggers/pads on the underside which can be mapped. This is limited to buttons available on that particular side of the pad. I.e the left side can only be mapped the left side inputs (dpad, Left trigger etc) and the right hand side can only map the abxy side of the pad. This is somewhat limiting but still a useful function, especially when mapping jump and crouch in FPS games Loads of third party cases are available for the pad + switch combo, I would advise getting one as the console doesn't lay the most comfortably due to the handgrip moulding. Comfortably fits in the switch dock without disengaging the pads too Can't yet comment on longevity as have only been using for a month or two but will update accordingly Definitely worth the money for any switch owner, especially those after a console-like controller experience for shooters

I managed to pick these up for about half price in an Amazon Warehouse deal, and decided to give them a go as I spend a lot of time playing Animal Crossing, which is not really a comfortable experience on the standard joy cons. They are certainly bigger than the standard joy cons, but given that the standard joy cons felt too small in my hands, the increased size of these was a relief. They're easy enough to install and get started with. They fit securely onto the main body of the Switch, and I didn't feel that they were going to be easily knocked off the sliders. They do protrude further out than standard size joy cons, so if you're tight on space around your dock, you might want to reposition it. I really liked the larger D pads. They were so much more comfortable than the original joy cons, or the third party ergonomic joy cons which I also own. You spend a lot of time on Animal Crossing making your character run about, so this was a really nice change. No sore pressure lines on your thumbs at all. I have yet to find anything quite as comfortable. I've not used the turbo or programmable buttons yet, so I can't comment on those. Some people have said that the body of these controllers could be easily scratched, but I don't see how, unless you're willfully digging something sharp into them. They're hard plastic, after all. I've only experienced drift once, and I did try to recalibrate the controller, but Google results told me that third party cons aren't designed to be recalibrated, and sure enough, it wouldn't let me. I turned the Switch on and off, and the drift was gone. However, for Animal Crossing, I have gone back to my cheap ergonomic joy cons, for one reason only - these don't have the rumble feature on them, and so many aspects of ACNH rely on rumbles to notify you of something. Caught a fish? You'd get a rumble. Achieved Nook Miles? You'd get a rumble. No rumble means you could miss out on something. I really miss using them. I've put Kontrol Freeks' performance thumbsticks onto my ergonomic controller, as it's still not as comfortable as the Hori. The extra surface space is so much nicer. If you can live without the rumble feature, these controllers are fantastic. I've got several different types of joy con, and these beat all of those for comfort, hands down. They're a premium product, so goodness only knows why there's no variant of these with the rumble feature built in. For my gaming needs, it's like building a kitchen without a water supply. Very pretty, but missing an essential.

Bought these for my son as he had worn through the rubber on top of his official joycons, and i felt the official ones are just not designed for long gaming sessions. These have been superb - they make the switch much more ergonomic to hold; they show no signs of wear despite many, many long hours of use. Can't imagine going back to the official ones as they just feel flimsy by comparison.

Had this for months, it's an excellent controller still working perfect. The build quality is great and it looks expensive

I absolutely love this!!! The controllers on my original switch decided they didn't wanna work that much anymore. So I got these. They look awesome, the quality is great, and they are alil bigger which is easier somehow to hold. The performance so far is great, haven't had any issues. I took a while to leave a review to use them and see what they are like first. Few months in still great. Easy to use. Lighting of the letters etc on them is easy to read. I feel it was good value for money. Would buy again but would like in a different design 😊

This makes it so much more comfortable for anyone playing the switch with bigger hands. The original controllers are way too small for me. Recommend. The buttons feel decent, grip is nice. No issues.

In my own experience, this makes a huge difference when playing in handheld mode. D-pad feels good (unlike other HORI D-pads which feel somewhat mushy IMO), analogue sticks feel great, the buttons feel good to press and the turbo buttons are a nice addition to the package. The third shoulder buttons are an added bonus which helps out in some games. (Be sure to turn on assign mode for this) Not ever going back to the stock joy-cons, not even the d-pad joy-con. Awesome product. Totally recommended!

Das Spielen unterwegs mit diesem Controller ist ein gänzlich anderes Erlebnis. So macht es Spaß. Präzise Steuerung, angenehm zu halten. Leider kein Rumble und keine Bewegungssteuerung, aber dennoch 5 Sterne, weil sehr gut verarbeitet und präzise. Ich habe einige andere ausgetestet, weil ich Geld sparen wollte, aber alle anderen waren kein Vergleich zu diesem Controller, meist eine viel zu große Deadzone oder schlecht verarbeitet, doch hier passt einfach alles. Topp! Fast wie der Pro Controller, nur für unterwegs!

These controllers are a great size and fit the hands very well. They also fit the consol very snugly with no slop or play all the bottoms work properly. The turbo button works well for controller sensitivity. The added button underneath can be assigned to any button on the same side and works as it should. The only negative is the buttons although work well are not very tactial. More soft to push rather than clickly. Over all great and would recommend.

J'ai acheté cet objet car mes joy-cons ne marchaient plus. Au final cet objet est trop bien ! La fonction turbo apporte un avantage considérable. Les gâchettes configurables sont un raccourci simple en plein jeu. Sa prise en main est juste incroyable et beaucoup plus confort que les joy-cons. Je recommande ce produit à tous les gamers sur switch.

Precis vad jag ville ha! Skönare kontroller till min Switch och nu ligger den betydligt bättre i händerna.
