It's Here, Split Pad Pro

This came in the mail today! I never knew this accessory existed until @Silent_Gunner recommended it and he personally enjoyed it.

I also did my own research just to have an idea what other gamers thought about it and the general consensus is that: it is ergonomic, it's comfy and is a decent replacement for the default joy-con, though many have said the mushy d-pad is a big negative, I have tried the d-pad it's fine with me, in fact, it has a nice depression to it, the analog stick travels a nice full circle and I hope it doesn't drift, I mean I have read this thing does actually drift but the probability is a lot lower compared to the JC.

All I need now is to grab a new hard case and remove any crystal casing on the Switch when using this.

Hopefully I won't be bitchin' about this controller in the future. Thanks @Silent_Gunner

I can't read Japanese... Does it support motion controls for Splatoon and Breath of the Wild? If not, it's useless to me.

@Jayro nope it doesn't.

Missing:
1. HD Rumble.
2. Gyro Sensor.
3. IR Camera.
4. NFC.
5. amiiboo scanner/support.
6. Wireless (cannot be used detached), strictly handheld.

I brought one when I seen a news here long time ago, and never regretted it.
Did several hours of Mario kart , Zelda , Overwatch even Mario Kart 2 with that D Pad.
So far for the price that way better than the original joycon.
NFC, no problem I use CFW and have a second gamepad in case that support it.
Rumble I always disable it when I can. (hands pain issues with heavy stuff like heavy gamepad or console, that why I like Hori split pad, they weight a bit less than joycons.)
Gyro I never liked the concept as game controller.
IR cam (lol never had chance to use it.)
And my joycon was always attached when I played.
So what missing was not an issue for me and seem these "low cost" joycon, was made for people like me xD

I like the design, didn't know they made designs like that. Do they have other mons too?
They could make a little wireless accessory for this that connects inbetween the two halves, makes them wireless and adds a USB charging port. Basically turning the entire thing into a Pro Controller.

@Baoulettes hehe, noted :)

@The Real Jdbye so far only:

Pikachu (black/gold, yellow/black)
Eevee & Pikachu (pastel color design)

Yeah, if they have one in future where all the JC features are in this same egonormic design I will definitely buy another pair.

Wow, it's basically missing everything. Talk about a featureless product. If it just had motion controls... Something like this would be perfect for me. Since it's so featureless, I can't imagine it runs for more than any other $20 Switch controller.

$50 D:
It's not worth that. For that price, I expect gyros and basic rumble at the very least. But it is Hori so at least it's probably well built.
