Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The sticks feel satisfying and the * are all the right amount of clicky. Triggers are clicks and responsive and so are the shoulder *. The button smashing is absolutely satisfying but in return it’s kinda loud.

Split pad compact has the nintendo seal of approval. Products are licensed by nintendo.

Cons

While i wish i could have afforded the wireless ones, these have served me well.

Packaging/appearance

I was recommended the hori split pad pros but i thought they looked way to bulky for travel and found the newer "compact" versi... Read More

Competitiveness

I can't speak to how these compare to the pro models other than what i've seen, but i personally prefer the medium-sized sweet ... Read More

They're quite bigger than the regular controllers so you have to buy their brand of case if you want to store your switch (quit... Read More
