Handheld Controller for Nintendo Switch
The HORI Split Pad Pro replaces the console’s detachable Joy-Con halves with a single, full-size gamepad that locks onto the Switch rails. It is built for players who want larger grips, full-size analog sticks and a traditional D-pad while keeping the system in handheld mode. The unit is officially licensed by Nintendo and weighs 0.5600 kg.
Dock Compatibility and Button Layout
The accessory remains attached when the console is seated in the standard Nintendo Switch dock, so charging and TV output work without removing the controller. Two programmable rear buttons sit on the back of each grip, letting users map frequently used actions to fingertips instead of face buttons. No wireless radio or internal battery is present; power and data pass through the rail connection.
Upgrade from Standard Joy-Con Handheld Play
The Split Pad Pro is intended for owners who find the stock Joy-Con grips too small for extended sessions or who prefer symmetrical stick placement. It does not support motion controls, HD rumble, IR camera functions or detachable two-player use, so buyers who need those features should stay with the original controllers. The translucent black finish distinguishes this 2020 release from later colour variants.
