Hori Split Pad Compact Review - The Best Switch Controller?

What game are you playing at the end?

If only they worked as a controller and had an accelerometer, I don't understand why no one can make a good one of these. This plus wifi and motion controllers and they would have an excellent product.

I love these things. I can understand disappointment in the lack of rumble or gyro, but personally I don’t care about either of those things. The comfort of the Hori compact is priceless, and the sticks feel especially great in my opinion, compared to the awfulness of the original joycons.

I can use the pro controller as well as the joycons in a grip comfortably, so the Compact is probably a good fit

The main thing I like about the compact is the look when paired with the OLED. It legit looks like a new console.

I thought about getting this months ago, but decided to go with the split pad pro because the d pad on the pro isn't so stiff when playing fighting games like Blaz Blue, Guilty Gear ect. Thanks for the review it does look like a nice controller that would be great for platformers tho! I may eventually get it to play games like the upcoming MegaMan Battle Network collection I pre-ordered for Switch so thanks again for showing us!

I just got back from a trip and used the Split Pad Compact while I was gone. I really like them and decided they will be my primary joycon for handheld mode, especially when I'm traveling. I found a carrying case designed especially for the Switch with the Split Pad Compact attached which fits in my backpack nicely (search for "Hori Split Pad Compact - Carrying Case"). I have rather large hands but thought it to be an OK tradeoff for the convenience and size. Way less cramping than the standard joycons.

which ones should i choose? I have big hands and I like comfort, and I need a new control for tomorrow because the next day I'll go on a plane trip and my controls are all screwed up xdddd. And I forgot to say. Only to play in portable mode since to play on TV I use an xbox.

😡 Promosm

Briar please more of this!!!!!

It seems like this has even more disadvantages to the Split Pad Pro without actually solving any of the negatives that the Pro already comes with. I see no reason to buy this over the Pro which I already don't think is a particularly good purchase

Could I trade my split pad pro for ‘em???

I swear man. You and @teftyteft are always fantastic on the review content!

Briar, you gotta try the Mobapad M6. It's the best one

You are still alive!!

Time for the wife to get upset. Briar drops a review video and off I go to buy stuff. LoL

Nice review! Definitely interested in trying this 👍

Great video my dude! Hori split pads are the "Cadillac" of JoyCons! It’s great to see a video from you! Look forward to more!
