I really enjoyed using them for a while-had them since May, and I'm writing this in August. They had quick responses, were easily configurable, fit my hands, looked cool...there's just three things that detracted from them.First off: you can't put a case on the switch because of the backings of the controllers. Which IMO is a good trade for comfortable controllers!Secondly: They do not do wireless. If they're disconnected from the Switch, they're turned off, period, which was a minor bummer. I was still fine with that though, until the last issue.Third: If you bend them backwards on the switch, the slide-ins will pop out from the controllers. Which is way better than previous joypads i've had (those just snapped), but still a bummer, because I can't figure out how to reattach the wire that connects the controller's motherboard to its slide-ins. It's a shame, because I really really liked using these...Ah well. Still worth the buy for a great gaming experience-my Pokemon Unite win rate has never been better!I love my hori split pads... I much prefer the bigger ? feeling when I play hand held..and it's even dockable to boot ☺I didn't realize that we wouldn't be able to fit a case on our switch while using these controllers, due to their fit. I don't mean a case that covers the controllers, but simply the switch itself.Product in general is as expected though.These are by far the most affordable and the most durable piece of Nintendo Branded equipment since the old generation consoles. JoyCons are absolute garbage. They break and at times don’t hold a charge. This unit is awesome and doesn’t require a charge. Don’t buy knock off units, purchase this and you won’t regret it.Great addition to the comfort and grip in handheld play. Not sure if it drains the battery a little bit faster than usual but definitely a must have if you play off the dock for long periods. Fits dock well. Only other thing I'd mention is sometimes the light weight and button press feel cheap in a way but could just be mental.Works as intended and its alot more comfortable than joy-cons in handheld mode i wish you could buy the usb connector separately because it did not come with it for the pikachu version and i quite like the pikachu design. I wish it had hd rumble other than that it makes handheld feel alot mor comfortable would recomend to friends.The d-pad for fighting games? Stellar accuracy. Any issues with moves points a finger at YOUR EXECUTION. I can shoryuken, hadoken, etc the vast majority of the time on reaction.The analog sticks for shooters? Eclipses the joycons. I can actually play Crysis thanks to this gamepad layout. The dead zones are a non-issue as the slightest movements are read with ease, allowing micro-corrections in my aiming.The comfort for general use? Simply unparalleled for medium/large hands. The + and - buttons are placed intelligently AWAY from the sticks. The buttons and triggers are larger overall. Feels like an Xbox gamepad.The downsides? No rumble support and no motion controls. I don't really mind as I'd take convenience over features that don't affect my gameplay. BUT some games do have motion controls so I'd be wary of buying something like 12Switch or Super Mario Party unless you still have the original joycons.Good but barely dockable with the oledVom Design und auch von der Handhabung fand ich die Kontroller extrem toll. Das Steuerkreuz auf der linken Seite hatte mich auch überzeugt. Allerdings laufen diese Kontroller ohne Strom und haben so keine Vibrationsfunktion. Die Switch erkennt diese auch nicht als Kontroller an fragte oft nach einer Kalibrierung. Zudem konnte man die Switch nicht über den Home Button des Kontrollers starten und am Anfang kam immer die Meldung, dass man Kontroller anschliessen solle. Mich nervte das zu sehr und ich hab sid zurück geschickt. Leider fand ich auch erst raus, dass sie ohne Strom laufen als ich sie anschloss. Wenn dieselben nochmal mit Vibrationsfunktion rauskommen sollten, würde ich sie mir direkt kaufen, da sie so echt angenehm waren.They're pretty and comfortable - I got these eight months ago because my official joy-cons got drift, and I haven't had any issues there. Disadvantages: they only work in portable mode, a bigger case is needed for the switch with the split pad pro attached, and the letters wore off the A and B buttons after a few weeks of heavy use. I normally use the split pad pro in portable mode to save wear on my new joycons, which I got for tv mode.If you're looking to enjoy playing your Nintendo switch in handheld more comfortably, then i highly recommend picking this up. As you can use these while you're traveling and not have to worry about when your joycons may run out power while playing your favourite games on the go.Controls are very responsive and have not experienced any issues with them.Note: If you do not already own a switch pro wireless controller, then please do not attempt to use these if your switch is in Docked Mode as they will not work and you may damage them if you try to attach them to the mini controller that you got when you bought your switch.Bought these for my two sons at Christmas and they love them. Much preferred over the original controllers due to increased size, fits the hand better and buttons more accessible where the originals you need to move your hands about to hit buttons.
