Adorable Pikachu Nintendo Switch Controller Drops To Lowest Price Yet
Hori makes a wide variety of third-party controllers for consoles and PC, but few are as well-regarded as the Split Pad Compact (and Split Pad Pro). And if you’re looking for a way to improve the ergonomics of playing Switch in handheld mode, this is a great time to finally check it out. Typically listed for $60, the Hori Split Pad Compact (Pikachu & Mimikyu) is down to just $42–which also happens to be its lowest-ever price.
Hori Nintendo Switch Split Pad Compact (Pikachu & Mimikyu)
$42 (was $60)
The Split Pad Compact is designed to give you a full-size controller experience while playing in handheld mode. Along with full-size analog sticks and D-pad, it features programmable back buttons, responsive face buttons, and a slim design that’s ideal for tossing in a backpack or suitcase. This particular model features Pikachu and Mimikyu artwork, which should make it especially enticing to Pokemon fans.
This model is the only one seeing the full discount to $42, though you’ll find the Gengar edition on sale for $53 (down from $60).
Our Split Pad Compact review found it to be an incredible alternative to the standard Joy-Con, going as far as to call it our “new favorite controller for handheld gaming on Nintendo Switch.”
