Review on HORI Nintendo Switch Split Pad Compact - Light Gray & Yellow - Ergonomic Controller for Handheld Mode - Officially Licensed by Nintendo - Best for Enhanced Gaming Experience by Darren Boogie

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better than Nintendo, but could be better

Overall, these are wayyyy better than Nintendo Joy-cons in terms of comfort and feel. The buttons are much nicer (except the d-pad which kind of sucks), the analog sticks are made for people with normal sized hands, and the triggers can actually be pulled.The only real con here is the price vs the lack of features. Without rumble (if you care about that) and not being wireless you would expect them to be a little cheaper. They do add turbo buttons and rear triggers than can be remapped, but (for me) that doesnt justify the increased cost.All that being said, I really like them and will keep using them.

Cons
  • Although the split design may allow for more comfortable grip, it may also be less stable than traditional handheld controllers, especially during intense gaming sessions
