Hori Split Pad Compact Review & DETAILED Comparisons - BOTH Colors!

Hori Split Pad Compact is here and this is my review & DETAILED comparisons between these pro Nintendo Switch joycon, and the Nyxi/Binbok controller, the regular joycon, the Pro Controller by Nintendo, AND the original Hori Split Pad Pro, so that you can get a full understanding of the detailed look & feel of this gaming controller by Hori USA. The colors featured are Apricot Red, and the Light Gray & Yellow version. They both look awesome! This is a hands-on detailed unboxing and review, looking at the d-pad, the control sticks, the face buttons, bumpers - and everything. We also go over the features and comparisons with the other controllers to look at the differences when it comes to gyro, rumble, and battery. These are pro joycon for Nintendo Switch! Also know as Hori Split Pad Fit.

Thank you everyone!

The style of this video is similar to NintendoLife and SwitchUp in parts, as well as BeatEmUps. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Miss Bubbles and SwitchCorner. Thanks for the inspiration!

I was in Japan around 2 weeks ago and got myself a pair of hori split pad compact in Midnight Blue! I just found out that the Midnight Blue is only released in Japan and im loving the colour!

[InJeffable]

I'm already sold on it. The textured analog sticks and the overall look of it won me over. I'm going with the Light Gray & Yellow version because I think it has kind of a retro look (like something out of the late '70s or early '80s), but I think the "Apricot" one looks great too.

Other than the back buttons and the turbo functionality, the Split Pad Compact looks to me like something Nintendo should have come up with years ago as a Joy-Con alternative. Something like this directly from Nintendo with wireless, HD Rumble, and gyro would undoubtedly have sold extremely well. The only reason I can think of for why they chose not to make their own Joy-Con alternative is that maybe they didn't want to risk undermining the original Joy-Cons in the eyes of the consumer. Oh well. Their loss is Hori's gain.

And while I know there are "better" alternatives out there with wireless, rumble, and gyro, I would always recommend Hori's Split Pad products over those because they're officially licensed. Quality in many unlicensed products can be a crapshoot, but licensed is generally pretty reliable.

When I get these and Red Dead 1 for the switch, I'd be extremely Addicted

I have the gengar split compact and the Nyxi Hyperion cons. Both I like them equally. Both have their pros and cons. When it comes to comfort, the Nyxi is a little bit better. I think the triggers on the compact are way better than the Nyxi. I love that the compacts do not need batteries verse to the Nyxi do. I switch back and forward depending on how I’m playing.

I highly recommend the compacts if you are on the fence of buying them. They are worth it. Specially if your hands alway cramp up, the compacts will help that.

Awesome video! Absolutely love the Split pad compact and can't wait for even more designs of this going forward!

[SpaceCity]

Just found for 15 bucks as a damaged box but they work perfect what a steal lol 😅

[Ace_acc]

bruh as soon as i bought it and put it on my switch it did not connect for som reason😥😥😥

[officialnofriendo]

I thought about getting these. But after watching your video. Im sold! Thanks Shibby!

[tekkennerdable]

Do the compact controllers charge while docked?

[blurryface]

Does it fit in the normal switch case?

[IslamIsTheTruth-ygkz]

Guys is it only the compact pad or does it come with the screen ?

[Papibife]

brother, how about the battery life, they consume from the switch? and is alot ?

[stootsmcgoots]

Been using joycons but I hate the sticks, they lack accuracy..got the split pad compact and it's much better only downside is no rimble😊

[marssinner]

Can someone explain to me what those clunky squares are on the back at the top?

[demnsayerjakeplays]

I wonder why the hori split pad compact in a joycon angle the buttons are actually there for the normal joycon

[Kiabeta]

only thing thats a deal breaker for me is no gyro 😞 I love the form factor

[jorgelopez-jfut]

Can I use a cover with the split pad compact?

[nemA]

I could see where some would really like them, me personally I really haven't found anything that feels better than satisfye grip

[OtherMarch]

How does the speckled grip feel texture-wise compared to the split pad pro? I found the pro extremely rough and irritating to use, I could not stand it. Does the speckled feel like its going to scrape off, catch on anything, rough or uncomfortable? Anything that you could best compare it to? Same for the sticks, they look like they have a texturing in the middle.
