Hori Nintendo Switch Split Pad Compact Wired Controller - Eevee

Perfect
I love these controllers, I feel a lot of people don’t like them because they cannot be used handheld but I knew this and bought them anyway. Not only are they absolutely beautiful but they also have a wonderful grip and texture to the back of the controller that only intensifies that, I feel also they are the perfect size compared to the original controllers that come with the switch itself. I feel these are worth it but if you know nothing about the product definitely look into it to see if it’s right for you.

Not comparable to original Joy-Con
Absolute waste of money. We bought them to replace our daughter’s original joy cons that were failing only to find out they can’t be used for anything other than play directly connected to the switch as a handheld. In addition, you’ll need a new case because they’re larger. The cases they sell that fit these don’t have organized card storage, so you’ll need a separate storage case to put in the pocket unless you want loose cards in the pocket. They can’t be used independent of the switch like actual joycons can so if you use motion games they’re useless. Lastly they only work directly connected to the switch, not a wireless base, so you’ll need a separate controller if you want to play on a tv. In hindsight, we should have dug more for information and reviews on these before buying. We would have been better off just buying a replacement set of original joycons to avoid needing to spend almost $200 on all the extra’s you’ll need, and still not have the functionality of motion that the original joycons have. The only reasons I’m giving two stars is that they’re cute and likely good for someone who only uses the switch as a handheld, but anyone who wants functionality of original joycons, look elsewhere.
