Unless you play games that rely heavily on Amiibo or have sub-par hands, there's really no reason to choose standard Joy-Cons over these controllers. This time Binbok have outdone themselves. Most other Joy Con alternatives are not the same as the original. However, this pair took the lessons learned from the HORI Split Pad Pro and put them to good use. The only controllers to consider along with them is the previously mentioned Split Pad. The Split Pad has an objectively superior D-Pad. You won't find a better Switch d-pad, and unfortunately the Binbok alternative has a d-pad that's only marginally better than what Nintendo dared to call the original joystick's d-pad. The split pad and binbok controllers are extremely comfortable for extended use. Unlike the slim rectangular joystick, both offerings mimic a Pro Controller/Xbox controller. The Split Pad loses out here as the two halves of each controller are connected at a small point. Because of this, they become uncomfortable to hold much sooner than binbok. The other features that Binbok offers are what really make the Split Pad Pro stand out from the water. You can usually find both controllers for around the same price. You'll often see Binbok from third-party sellers wanting more money due to demand, but if you manage to buy direct from Binbok, both controllers have the same MSRP of $50/pair. The standard joystick is $80 a pair. Both controllers cost the same, and one has all but two of the features of a standard joystick. The Split Pad serves as an incredibly simple controller. No WiFi, no gyroscope or hum. Nothing. Binbok can be used wirelessly for 3-4 hours with minimal or no input lag, it features standard gyroscopes for motion control and a standard screen. The only two features the Binbok lacks are the ability to read amiibo and the infrared sensor that the joystick uses to control movements more precisely. must be the only controller you use for the Nintendo Switch. Hold on to the correct Joy-Con for this amiibo if needed.
