Hori Nintendo Switch Split Pad Pro (The Legend of Zelda: Tears the Kingdom Edition) for - Officially Licensed by & OLED Model, Black, (NSW-432U)

These controllers not only look great with the Zelda design, but the size of them allows for a much more comfortable grip. Changes the hold dynamics completely, to the point that the standard controllers feel weird now. Doesn't allow for balance elements of a game where you have to use the controllers to interact with a gyro control like in some of the Zelda BOTW shrines. All other controls are great. Haven't tried to assign additional functions to the additional buttons but will try at some point.

I like it for my NSW. It made me want to play more than using the original controller. Too bad, it quites big for travelling. But everything is ok. I am satisfy.

They’re amazing,for me the best joy pads

Feels very comfortable in the hands. Shame about no rumble or NFC but still a good controller.

These are excellent joy cons replacements for those who play the switch predominantly in handheld mode. The grip is so much better than the standard Joy cons, the buttons and the analogue sticks are a much better size and… it has a d-pad.Another cool feature that I love are the programmable back buttons. It’s nice to have essentially extra trigger buttons that feel more natural than using the a, b, x and y buttons. This came in really handy with Metroid prime remastered. I set the mussels to the back buttons and it made using the middle combos much more comfortable. It also felt more natural as the middle button anyway.I don’t use the turbo feature but it’s a nice addition and for fighting games or games where you have to spam a button, they are a nice feature.The Zelda tears of the kingdom design is excellent and is still in great condition after several months of play. This was a pleasant surprise as I thought being third party, the design wouldn’t last but it has.These are great joy cons replacements but… they lack rumble and motion controls. I do not understand why when they have been officially licensed by Nintendo. There is plenty of space within them for these features and it is a shame that they are missing them (they also lack nfc reading ability but as I don’t have any amiibos I’m not bothered by this). I play a lot of retro games so rumble isn’t a deal breaker but when playing modern games it’s a shame it’s missing. Even if they had just included standard rumble rather than hd rumble it would have been something.I’ve noticed the lack of motion controls when I play mariokart. I always flick the switch on jumps to get boosts and now I can’t. It’s a subtle thing but noticeable. Again, this could have been included as these are not cheap.They do not include a battery so you cannot use them wirelessly but you can buy a wired add on connection to play them as a wired controller but there are better and cheaper alternatives if you wanted to do that.In conclusion, these are great joy con replacements for handheld mode play and they are my standard controllers now but, they could have been even better, especially as they are officially licensed by Nintendo. These had the potential to be the ultimate controllers for handheld mode but instead if you want them, you have to accept that they will be missing some features. You have to ask yourself are these sacrifices worth it for a more comfortable gaming experience and with the added benefits of extra back buttons and turbo.

Good to have bigger controllers on my switch cant charge these only work on the switch but still class to use

10/10 if you love switch and have massive hands this is a game changer completely worth it

My Zelda fan used their own pocket money to buy these (a devoted hand held gamer) and is speechless at how comfortable and ergonomic they are (I'm translating). And my word, they look cool.
