   I enjoy gaming and I really enjoy playing my Nintendo Switch in handheld mode, making it easier to take on trips, or to enjoy some gaming during my lunch break. Recently, I found out that I have been having issues with my left non-dominant hand, the issue being related to tendinitis. A friend of mine recommended these Hori Split Pad Pro for the Nintendo Switch and I gave them a shot. They function similarly to the joy-con once you slot them into the rails on the Nintendo Switch. There’s a few extra buttons on the controllers, but those don’t cause trouble when using them with the Nintendo Switch. I have been using these for almost a week now and I do see a noticeable different between using the joy-cons and using these. I also noticed that I’m not gripping onto Hori the Split Pad Pro controller as hard as I would when using the normal joy-cons. So far, so good! Side notes: These controllers will not vibrate or function like normal joy-cons when disconnected; they must be slotted into the rails on the Nintendo Switch in order for them to work. This is fine as I don’t tend to play local multiplayer with others and I’m not missing out on not having the vibration that comes with the joy-cons. And while the Hori controllers are designed differently, they are a Licensed Product of Nintendo and will work with the Nintendo Switch dock, which at first I thought wasn’t going to be possible, but turns out you can dock the switch easily when these Hori controllers are connected to the Switch.

   Genialne rozwiązanie dla niewygodnych joyconów. Rewelacyjna konstrukcja, niesamowity feeling użytkowania. Jak dla mnie “must have” wśród akcesoriów do konsoli.

   This Control Feels Fantastic in the Hand, and When Playing the Whole Consoles Feels the Same Weight as just the Pro Controller. They’re Super Light, but Not Cheaply Made, Nor Cheap Feeling. The Sticks Stand out Especially as they Feel Nearly as Accurate as a Mouse Does, and Gives an Excellent Amount of Room to Move with them. They Do Look a Bit Awkward on the Console, Being Much Wider then the Switch Itself, and they have 2 Stange Plastic Blocks on the Back you Cannot Remove, and I’m Unsure what you Do with, so Not the Most Fashionable. As well, it’s Important to Note they DO NOT have a Battery, and the Only Way you can Use them Not Attached to the Console is with an Expensive USB Attachment for them to Use them Wired (about $80). If you can Get Over these Cons though, they’re a Great Buy! These Cons are Really Nothing Compared to How Fantastic the Control is to Use, and Make for a Masterful Handheld Experience.

   Pues la verdad ya lo estuve probando por unos días y se siente bien, de buena calidad y para jugar todo tipo de juegos es muy a gusto con este mando.

   Lo malo es que no tiene vibración, también si tienes protector a tu switch se lo tienes que quitar porque no le entran los controles y también hay que tener cuidado porque la parte de atrás donde se apoya el switch(las patas) está muy pegado que empieza a raya el switch por atrás pero de todo los demás está bien.

   Y otra cosa, yo recomiendo que le pongan unas gomitas a los joystick porque si se siente algo resbalosos pero si no tienes problema con eso está bien y si funcionan también para el Nintendo oled porque vi muchas imágenes pero nadie explicaba eso.

   P.D. La caja como que la abrieron pero le volvieron a poner doble cinta y estaba bien sellado, pero creo que mientras venga todo bien sin daños y nada de eso está bien.

   Update 9/11/21 After rebooting our switch, they work just fine again. Not sure what happened, but glad we fixed it! ——– Update 9/5/21 They just stopped working. We disconnected and went to the regular joy cons and back again. Now the right works, but not the left. I’ll clean them later and update if that fixes it. —– I have problems with my grip on small objects. I cannot use the regular joycons without pain or a case to bulk them up. I had a case that did well enough for a time. The joycons started drifting though and in order to send them into Nintendo we wanted a replacement. I saw these Hori replacement joycons and read through the reviews. After lots of looking and debating these appeared the best solution for price and usefulness. They did not dissapoint! Not only are the controllers larger, but the D pad, thumb sticks, triggers and buttons are larger too. The addition of the programmable rear paddles and the turbo just made it all better. I haven’t had a turbo controller since I was a kid and I’d forgotten how awesome it is!! Pros: Turbo is exceptionally easy to use and makes any repeated tapping a breeze. Has 3 turbo speeds. Large size grips, sticks and buttons are easy on the hands. Cheaper than almost any other joycon set. Built in calibration. Fasten securely to the Switch with no wobble, *much* less wobbly than original joycons. Cons: They only function in hand held mode and will not work detached from the switch. Makes the switch much larger and bulkier, more difficult to travel with. Do not use the Nintendo joycon calibration. No rumble feature

   I have used a few pairs of these ergonomic joycons over the course of my switches life and for the most part they are ok. They are just a very simple design that does not have the following. No rumble support No wireless support No amiibo support No batteries This is a very basic, stripped down, almost featureless, ergonomic joycon. It does on thing and one thing only really well. It allows you to use your switch in handheld mode comfortably. It’s great for lounging around and gaming. That’s about it. It features large buttons which is great and a normal D pad which is also amazing. You can find some programmable buttons on the back as well. There’s only 2 things that I don’t really like about this unit. First up on the docket is that these will drain your battery FAST. Since they have no batteries of their own they rely on the switch itself for power. If you are getting 6 hours of playtime with normal joycons, expect to get 4.5 hours now. Yea, it’s that noticable. In some ways it makes sense to not have batteries when no wireless support is there but on the other end the marked shorter runtime is bound to bother some people. The other thing I don’t like is these are prone to drifting after a while. Normally with me these receive light use as I typically use these while traveling. This issue has gotten better with time. My first set lasted 100ish hours. Set 2 lasted around 450ish and set 3 was about 700ish hours and set 4 we don’t know yet. To put it into perspective I have an 8 year old Xbox one controller that has 5000+ hours on it and drift is not a thing. It’s apparent that hori is aware of these issues as these have had deviations in build quality as time has gone on. The outside has not changed but the internals have. And they have all been considerable. The saving grace with these is that they are CHEAP. You can get a set of these for 40 most of the time so you don’t feel quite as bad when they die. However with the short lifespan of these, E waste is something that I find myself thinking about often. It’s worth noting that other ergonomic joycons are on the market now and they are all full featured and function like standard joycons. However the price of these are normally 80.00. if you’re on a budget these will do. If you are looking for a full feature set, there are other joycons to look at. It’s just a matter of picking what you want and going with it. In my case I go with these because I don’t use any of those features while I’m out. If I want to I can wait until I get home and just use a pro controller.
