It might seem as if I’m painting something of a bleak picture for Split Pad Pro, but for every negative listed earlier there’s a positive that I’m just waiting to gush about! Even before picking them up, the sleek ‘black with red accents’ colour scheme is striking: the controllers have been designed in association with Daemon X Machina (a fast-paced mech game) and I assume the choice of black and red -as well as the stylised ‘X’ button-reflects this. If anything, I find the rumble a little too loud for handheld mode and usually leave it turned off anyway.
Admittedly, lack of motion control could present an issue in some games, but I can’t bring myself to care about the exclusion of the other features. On the topic of cost-saving, it’s also worth pointing out that these controllers have also been stripped of the regular Joy-Con ‘bells and whistles’: no motion control, rumble, infrared or Amiibo support. At any rate, there’s no denying that it’s a significant flaw in the controllers’ design and likely a cost-saving measure above all else.

Thankfully, my circumstances mean that this issue was irrelevant: I have an official Pro Controller for docked usage that I’d have continued using regardless of whether this Joy-Con pair was an option or not. I mention this so hastily because, for some players, this is an absolute deal-breaker-understandably so. Let’s start off with the kicker, it’s a big one after all: the Split Pad Pro has no wireless functionality, which means that these controllers are for handheld use only. After pretty much exclusively using these controllers for the past month or so, I’m ready to make a judgement, and it’s a good one: the Split Pad Pro is a superb alternative to regular Joy-Con controllers… for the right person. While my hands aren’t actually large enough to have difficulty with the traditional Joy-Con offering, I was interested in trying something different with some nice extra features at an appealingly lower price. Hardware manufacturer HORI has worked to appease these folks with the Split Pad Pro, an officially licensed pair of Joy-Con controllers that feel more substantial to hold than a pair of Tic Tacs with analog sticks. There’s a sizeable group of large-handed people who, despite loving their Switches, struggle with the relatively diddy Joy-Cons that come packaged in with the console. NOTE: If having trouble with the Switch recognizing Split Pad Pro, please ensure that all Joy-Cons are off and not connected via Bluetooth.// Hardware // 13th Apr 2020 - 2 years ago // By Jamie Davies HORI Switch Split Pad Pro - Daemon X Machina Edition Review Does not include Motion Controls, HD Rumble, NFC, or IR camera.
