Hori Nintendo Switch Split Pad Pro ( Black & Gold Pikachu) By - Officially Licensed By Nintendo and the Pokemon Company International

The media could not be loaded. Although these pro controller handles are among the pricier accessories for the Nintendo Switch, they are the all around best investment. The traditional controllers are uncomfortable after gaming for very long, but these pro controllers are ergonomic and fit comfortably in your hands during play. They also have a few extra bottoms on the posterior that can be key bound to give extra control options. There is also a turbo/auto clicker ability that comes in very handy in certain games or situations where button mashing becomes tedious. I’ve been using my pro controllers for about 6 months now and so far there are no signs of wear or tear on them. The only consideration some people might want to consider is that these controllers are much larger than the standard and do not fit in most standard sized switch travel cases.

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 will start with I am not a big gamer. But I ended up with a nitendo switch and someone recommended Hori. I to loved pikachu as a kid so I went ahead and purchased this. It is durable, comfortable even for small hands (I have small girl hands) and the color and design is as advertised and looks fantastic! I have actually been picking up my switch and playing games now because this is so comfortable to hold/use. Will buy again if it ever does break.

I have big hands so the normal joycons are horrible for me. I was looking at these and satisfye grips but settled on the split pad. While they don't have rumble or gyro I actually prefer this, and they are big enough I get a great grip. I like how you can map the buttons with the back bumpers but it does have to be on the same half of the controller pair. The turbo works but seldom comes in handy.

Pros: Great ergonomics, especially for adult hands. Don't need to be charged. Extra back buttons are nice once you figure out how to program them. Can still fit in the dock while attached.Cons: You lose motion control during games. Not as tight a fight as I would like so it feels a bit flimsy in the side channels of the Switch.

Nice case

I got the Black and Gold Pikachu version for my boyfriend on his birthday because he’s a huge fan of pikachu and he prefers using handheld mode. He loves it so much and said it’s even. I also tried it and everything is so smooth. The grip is great and it feels nice while using. It’s very light though making the switch overall length pretty extended. But that’s not a problem because it works pretty well. I didn’t know when I purchased it that it has this customized setting for some of the buttons. My boyfriend found out and specifically love that feature.Highly recommended when it’s in stock again! I preordered it a few weeks before it came out and it still took like a month to come. Worth it though!

Perfect controller
