    Easily the cutest controllers I have! I was debating on getting these or regular joycons, but I mainly play handheld mode, so I decided to get these! I’m so happy I went with these instead

    Son mucho ms ergonmicos y cmodos que usar los joycon Originales si juegas mucho tiempo directamente en el switch. Excelente calidad precio.

    Would 100% recommend. They feel amazing in hand. The D pad makes gameplay better, the joysticks have zero drift and feel very high quality. Triggers have nice clicks and have great response. The texture and size makes them very comfortable. And Pokmon makes it even bette

    Bin sehr zufrieden mit den Hori Joy Cons. Sie liegen angenehm in den Hnden und sind verdammt leicht. Ich empfinde die Qualitt nicht als billig.
    Fr mich ist es nicht schlimm dass einige Features von den Originalen fehlen, bei den gespielten Games fllt es nicht auf.
    Dadurch dass diese Hori Variante nicht so wuchtig ist, lsst sich die Switch auch gut transportieren.

    I have the other split pad pro and I must say this product definitely feels a lot better in terms of comfort. Playing games like monster hunter rise and fire emblem engage felt perfect.

    Came in manufactures box inside of an Amazon shipment box. They are perfect for what I need. They have a comfortable grip, save battery on my switch, and the bonus of the art that’s a great want. I highly recommend.

    These things are fantastic! At first I didn’t like how mushy the buttons were in comparison to the stock joycons, but they’ve grown on me and I now prefer them. The turbo button is a serious carpal-tunnel saver, especially in Pokemon where there’s lots of tedious clicking.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersIch bin begeistert von dem HORI Nintendo Switch Split Pad Compact in der Gengar-Edition! Es ist ein hervorragender Controller fr den Handheld-Modus, der sowohl in Bezug auf Design als auch auf Leistung berzeugt. Die Ansprechzeit der Tasten ist beeindruckend schnell und ich hatte noch nie das Gefhl, dass ein Befehl nicht ausgefhrt wurde. Das Gengar-Design ist unglaublich cool und passt perfekt zu Fans des Pokmon-Franchises.
    Leider gibt es bislang noch keine Bewegungssteuerung, was definitiv die Kirsche auf der Torte wre.

    I’m a fairly light switch user, only got into using it again after the new I got Pokmon games for my birthday. I noticed from day one that you can’t use them while they aren’t attached, and they have no ability to be turned on even when unattached. 3.5/5 stars, but amazon doesn’t let you do 0.5 stars

    Avevo problemi a giocare in portabilit con i Joycon nativi essendo troppo piccoli. Ho optato per i Compact perch i pro sono troppo ingombranti. La scelta stata perfetta, ottima ergonomia, sensibilit degli stick fantastica, feed dei tasti molto buono. Ovviamente mancano vibrazione e accelerometro e non si possono utilizzare staccati dalla Switch, per un compromesso accettabile per la gran parte dei giochi.

    I wish I can give this a 6 star rating its that perfect for me. No grep was this good. I have tried multiples. It’s not heavy either but durable. Buttons feel great, sticks are nice firm but giving.. perfect!.. I try not to simp for a product but this product deserves it.

    This is exactly what you want if you want a little more grip and not too much bulk. The only thing is it doesn’t support rumble…which I enjoy. I knew that going in though

    Best joycons I have ever seen. To be honest, this is much better than the previous one.

    I used the split pad pro before and I didn’t like the fact that keeps on disconnecting. I changed it for this one. Finally!

    Got these because my joy-cons were drifting, but turns out these are just better in nearly every way. Buttons feel nicer, no more hand cramps during longer gameplay sessions. No gyro or rumble support but the pros still out weight the (joy) cons!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI used to struggle playing games for long on my switch in portable mode with regular joycons, I bought a grip but it was still uncomfortable to play on but these have been amazing for me so far, can play long hours without any issues, really comfortable and compact enough to travel with. They didn’t fit the regular switch case so I had to purchase the Hori Switch Cargo pouch for it as well and it’s perfect for these.

    Could’ve been better with motion controls, wireless play and rumble support but even without those things I still prefer them over regular joycons. If only the Switch came with these instead, complete game changer for me.

    Ottimo prodotto per chi si stancato della scarsa qualit dei joycon Nintendo, ma soprattutto per la paura del “drift” tipico dei controller switch originali.
    Provato con Giochi come Hades e Monster Hunter Rise dove il ritmo frenetico e il pad messo alla prova. Perfetto in tutto, sia nella risposta che nella maneggevolezza.
    Altamente consigliato

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersAl igual que los split pad pro originales estos nuevos pads dan una sensacin de comodidad cuando se trata de jugar con el switch por unas cuantas horas en el modo porttil. Los joysticks tienen un giro ms amplio, los botones son suaves y, a excepcin de los triggers, no tienen esa sensacin de click como con los joycons originales, lo cual para m es un punto a favor.

    Lo que no me pareci tan cmodo fueron los botones adicionales en la parte trasera de los controles pues no estn tan bien adaptados como s se sentan en el SPP original.

    Los colores utilizados en este modelo de Gengar son muy lindos y exactamente como se retratan en la imgenes: azules y morados pastel, la silueta del personaje bien definida que se siente de buena calidad, no siendo demasiado ligeros pero para nada pesados.
    Muy buena opcin para los que buscan una alternativa a los pequeos joycons y que no quieren algo tan “estorboso” como los splid pad pro normales.

    Amazing controllers 10x better then the original and much more comfortable to hold and use.

    Oltre ad essere esteticamente bellissimi (cosa che ovviamente soggettiva) i materiali sembrano molto robusto e piacevoli al tatto. Estremamente apprezzati gli analogici con un grip davvero ottimo (credo il migliore mai trovato fino ad ora). Sono perfetti per che non ha mani enormi (in quel caso consiglierei il modello pro) e molto molto comodo per le loro funzioni di “assign” che permette di copiare le funzioni di un tasto qualsiasi e riportarlo ai tasti aggiuntivi sul retro, e la funzione “turbo” che permette di far ripetere la pressione di un tasto qualsiasi a diverse velocit.
    Ovviamente hanno i loro limiti, si alimentano dalla console e non possono essere usati da scollegati quindi come i joycon standard Nintendo.
    Se volete giocare in portatile e vi interessa la comodit con un pizzico di estetica e dei comandi molto semplici con qualche aggiunta interessante, ve li consiglio assolutamente.

    Piccola nota conclusiva: attenzione alla custodia, se non volete rimuoverli dalla console e portarla in giro come pezzo unico comprate quella abbinata, contiene la console con i joycon collegati senza problemi (oltre ad essere esteticamente molto bella)

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI have been looking for good Joy-Cons with less clicky buttons since i have a switch. I don’t like to play in handheld and disturb people around me in more quiet envoirements. I wouldn’t play the switch on a train or an airplane for that reason.
    These have a very good build quality and are very comfortable to hold.

    The only thing i would change is to make the railing fit a little tighter. My left Controller firts perfectly snug but the right one is a little more loose on my switch oled. It is similar to how the original switch had a little loose joy-cons than the oled. So i can imagine the fit would be a little worse on the original switch too.

    A good sized controller that is bigger than the standard ones but smaller then a full sized.
    Works fine in all kind of games and do not take to much space.

    Really nice pair of controls.

    These are amazing for three main reasons, ANALOG STICKS FEEL AMAZING (And yes they are very accurate), the Turbo button is goated, and quality. The design is a bonus but all around these are great & provide the perfect ergonomic grip. I actually feel like I can hold my switch with one hand from time to time (not that I recommend you do lol).

    Kontrollen r genomgende bra, kvalitn r toppen. Kontrollen skulle f full pott om den dessutom hade amiiboostd som den saknar. Frstr inte varfr kontrollen inte har stdet d andra tillverkare kan ha det i sina kontroller. Skulle kunna betala 100-200kr mer fr kontrollen om den hade stdet fr amiiboos.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersDespues de probarlo en largas horas de juego tumbado tengo que decir q aun tengo que ponerme un cojin debajo de la consola para dejarla caer y que no me pese tanto, pero ya no se me duermen las manos y me entran hormigueo como con los joycons originales, tube los split pad pro de hori y estos en tema de calidad de materiales, comodidad y estetica son mejores, los botones +- son de plastico y no de goma y la parte trasera es mas agradable que en la otra version. El peso da la sensacion de pesar menos que los originales aunque son unos 15g cada uno mas pesados, pero al ser mas grande se distribuye mejor el peso y se agarra mejor.

    En definitiva unos grandes mandos que solucionan un gran problema de la switch y aunque no tenga tecnologia de vibracion o giroscopio para mi es mas importante la comodidad en portatil y aunque aun me canse al sujetarlo puedo aguantar muchas mas horas de juego sin llegar a dormirseme las manos.

    Mejor que el split pad pro

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThese joycons are perfect. They’re super comfortable and the buttons feel amazing. The Gengar design and colors are the cherry on top . Highly recommend getting your hands on these . If they’re not sold out . The lack of some functionalities are made up by the simple fact of how comfortable the controls feel in your hand while you’re playing on the go . It does suck that they’re not wireless. But I definitely don’t regret my purchase. I give them a 9.5/10

    Golden Review Award: 21 From Our Users***NOTE: These are strictly for handheld mode use only. It has no internal battery for wireless (is why they are so light weight), no hd rumble or any rumble, no gyro and no amiibo functions. Home button is also finicky when it comes to waking up the Switch from sleep mode.***

    Hori products offers great 3rd party officially licensed Nintendo products! Been buying their stuff for previous devices like DS and PS Vita.

    These controllers are a slightly slimmer version of Hori Split Pad Pro which are also my favorite for playing in handheld mode when it comes to the Nintendo Switch. These can only be played in handheld mode as they don’t have internal batteries to play wirelessly.

    I find regular Switch joycons causes fatigue, hate the analog on them and I always need a full body grip to use them more comfortably. The Hori Split Pad controllers both Pro and Compact have solved a lot of my issues with the official Nintendo joycon controllers. Other third parties just can’t compare to the Hori controllers quality, even if some say they feel cheap due to how light weight they are. They don’t have dead zones when it comes to the analog sticks!

    These are lightweight with backstand “nubs” on each controller to help counteract the weight of the device as you play. Removing these backstand “nubs” will cause a slight dipping when you hold the whole Switch unit as one. So removing them would defeat the purpose of these nubs, I highly suggest keeping them as they are to prevent the controllers from snapping off the Switch controller rails.

    The controllers are responsive with assigned key buttons you can keybind yourself. Just remember that you can’t cross keybind between the controllers meaning if you want X button on the right controller it can only be assigned to that controller, not to the left. Wish Hori would find a work around for this in the future.

    I haven’t had any stick drift on my Hori controllers both Pro and the white/yellow Compact versions that released way before these Pokmon themed ones. The buttons on these Compacts are more mushier than the Pro versions which I still very much like as I like clicky and mushy buttons. So it’s all personal preference.

    I love anything Pikachu and was so happy this version released in USA. The matching Hori Pouch also fits with these controllers attached to the OLED version. The print on the controllers are nicely detailed while being toned down vs the more bold themes of the Pro versions. Here’s hoping they don’t fade with use overtime.

    A tad overprice when you can easily buy a Nintendo Switch Pro controller for a bit more, but again it’s great for handheld users like myself 🙂

    Compact Pika 🥰

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI had the larger Hori split pad pro but sold them for the compact version and happier with this. They are more comfortable to use than joycons for extended gaming sessions. The buttons and sticks can feel a bit cramped compared to the switch pro controller, but overall the compact model is a good compromise between size, portability, and comfort.

    Golden Review Award: 14 From Our UsersDas Hori Split Pad Compact ist der Nachfolger des Hori Split Pad Pro.
    Es ist ingesamt etwas schmaler und kompakter als die Pro Variante, und sieht wie ich finde auch etwas besser aus. Die Rckseiten sind ergonomisch erhht, also genau wie beim Vorgnger.
    Dadurch liegt auch das Hori Split Pad Compact sehr gut in der Hand. Dass es ingesamt etwas schmaler geworden ist, strt mich mit mein etwas greren Hnden berhaupt nicht.
    Es liegt immer noch deutlich besser in der Hand als die originalen Joy Cons.

    Wie erwartet hat man wieder 2 ausgewachsene Sticks und ausgewachsene Schulterbuttons.
    Auch ein vernnftiges Steuerkreuz wurde wieder verbaut. Die 4 Front Buttons sind auch angenehm gro.
    Die 2 Sticks und die 4 Front Buttons sind im Vergleich zum Vorgnger dem Hori Split Pad Pro minimal kleiner. Die Przision beeintrchtigt das jedoch nicht, und die Druckpunkte sind auch sehr gut.

    Diesmal haben jedoch die Sticks eine strukturierte Oberflche, die fr besseren Grip sorgen sollen.
    Auerdem sind diesmal die Plus, Minus, Share Button, Home Button, Assign und Turbo Button aus Plastik. Beim Vorgnger waren diese noch aus Gummi.
    Auch Positiv aufgefallen ist mir, dass die Controller diesmal auf einer Hhe mit dem Switch Bildschirm sind. Es wirkt also mehr wie aus einem Guss.
    Weil beim Vorgnger lag der Bildschirm noch ein ganzes Stck tiefer als die Controller.

    Die Nachteile sind, dass man immer noch kein Rumble, keine NFC Schnittstelle und keine Bewegungssensoren hat. Auch kann man die Controller nicht einzeln im Bluetooth Modus nutzen, da sie entsprechend auch keinen Akku haben.
    Htte der Controller jedoch diese Features, wrde dies warscheinlich den Preis deutlich steigen lassen.
    Ich brauche diese Features alle nicht, von daher ist das Hori Split Pad Compact fr mich perfekt.
    Einzig die Vibrationsfunktion/ Rumble vermisse ich etwas.

    Ich bin mit dem Controller sehr zufrieden. Die Verarbeitung ist absolut super.
    Persnlich finde ich ihn insgesamt noch etwas besser als den Vorgnger.
    Absolute Kaufempfehlung.
