Review on HORI Split Pad Pro: Ergonomic Controller For Handheld Mode - Officially Licensed By Nintendo & Pokemon Company International For Pokemon Legends: Arceus (Nintendo Switch) by Jyothish Pillai

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost everything I’m looking for in a controller…

Has nearly everything I’m looking for: turbo, rear assignable buttons, ergo grip, comfortable sticks… I gave it 4 stars, because the controllers aren’t blue tooth capable—they have no innate battery supply by themselves, like the JoyCons do, so they don’t operate unless connected to the Switch. The other minor gripe I have is that you cannot assign buttons from one controller to the opposite controller (i.e., the left controller buttons cannot be assigned to the right’s rear button, and vise versa). Other than that, the controllers are very sturdy and lightweight, but feel durable. I haven’t experienced any joystick lag, either, so that is what landed the rating the 4th Star.

Pros
  • Officially Licensed
Cons
  • The HORI Split Pad Pro may be heavier than other gaming controllers, which can be inconvenient for long gaming sessions
