## Description

Product Description Are you one of those people who, when they saw the original Nintendo Switch Joy-Con, the first thing they wondered was where on earth the crosshead had been inserted? Good news: we found it. The D-Pad Controller from Hori It rescues that long-awaited classic precision and puts it right where it's needed, on the left controller, so that you can get the best out of your games again. Designed to maximize performance in portable mode, this specialized Joy-Con dispenses with irrelevant functionalities in portable mode to offer optimal control at its best. The finish with the most popular Nintendo characters is already due to curl the curl.:) Box Contains 1 x Left Joycon

Review: Going strong one year on - My girl LOVES this pikachu controller. Bought to replace the OG left joycon. We've had it for a year now and the right OG joycon has started to drift. Wonder if I can buy a right hand side pikachu controller?! Just found my purchase from last year on here and thought I'd share my review that it's actually really fab and works really well. I'd definitely recommend it.
Review: Decent Joy-Con replacement - Purchased this as my original joycon got joystick drift and it was driving me mad. This was really easy to sync up and attaches really easily to my switch. I think it looks great even as a mismatching set of joycons. My only bug bear is that it feels a bit cheaper than the original joycon despite being a Nintendo product. Overall just feels a bit plastic-y. Also this isn't compatible with the console mode which is fine for me as a hand held gamer but worth noting. The gold pikachu design is very cute!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this replace the original joy-con controller casing? As in you unscrew the original and put this one on?**
A: No. It's a complete left joy-con made by HORI, however like Edward S. says it's missing a few features so they can sell it for $25 instead of $40. There is no HD rumble, no SR/SL buttons (the little shoulder buttons in split screen table top mode), no infrared, no battery, and it only works when attached to the screen in handheld mode.

**Q: So this has no wireless capibilities and no right joycon i would get t his if it was left and right joycons it is just odd to have just one side.**
A: That's exactly why I'm selling it, actually. When I bought it from Gamestop, I thought I was getting both controllers. Instead it's just one side. Apparently, there isn't an R controller that matches this one, which I find odd.

**Q: Where is the right one?**
A: This is only left because you buyit for the D Pad for SNES s Kind of games.

**Q: what color does it appear as in the controllers menu?**
A: Apparently it shows up as a standard gray controller, it's also important to note that apparently it drains the Switch battery very quickly if using firmware earlier than 6.0.0, (the current firmware at time of typing this is 13.0.0).

### ⭐ This doesn’t work on the big screen only the little screen
*by A***R on 15 July 2024*

If you want a controller that works on the Nintendo screen and the TV then choose something else! This was disappointing to discover when it arrived. All that glitters is not gold! If you’re a Pikachu fan, it looks fantastic but sadly lets you down on functionality!
