The HORI Split Pad Pro is a specialized, officially licensed alternative to standard Joy-Con controllers, designed specifically for enhanced comfort and precision in handheld mode. Unlike standard Joy-Cons, the Split Pad Pro features a full-size analog stick and button layout, providing a traditional controller feel while the console is being played on the go. The design includes large, textured hand grips that reduce hand fatigue during extended play sessions of high-intensity titles. This controller is equipped with several advanced input features, including assignable rear triggers and functional Turbo settings (5/10/20 shots/second). The rear of each unit features a programmable button that can be mapped to other inputs, allowing for more efficient control in complex games. While it excels in physical control, the Split Pad Pro is purely for handheld use; it does not contain an internal battery, motion controls, HD Rumble, NFC for amiibo, or an IR camera, and it cannot be used as a wireless controller. The Split Pad Pro connects directly to the Nintendo Switch rails, drawing power directly from the console. The hardware features a robust build with a traditional cross-shaped D-pad for precise directional input. It is compatible with the standard Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch – OLED Model. This model is available in various colors and styles, including a sleek Translucent Black and a vibrant Green, both featuring high-quality finishes that complement the console's aesthetic.
