Hori Split Pad Controllers Get Prime Day Discounts
If you find it uncomfortable to play Nintendo Switch in handheld mode with the standard Joy-Con controllers, the Hori Split Pad Compact and Split Pad Pro are worth a closer look. These give you a bit more real estate to work with–ensuring your hands don’t cramp up from long gaming sessions. The premium controllers are usually quite expensive (costing up to $90), but during Prime Day 2024, you’ll find them as low as $41.50.
The Hori Split Pad Compact (Apricot Red) is the cheapest of the bunch at $41.50 (down from $50). It’s built to give you a pro-style controller while in handheld mode, with features like mappable rear triggers, a turbo function, and a responsive D-pad. Best of all, it’s officially licensed by Nintendo, so you know it’ll work flawlessly with all your favorite games.
You’ll find other versions of the Split Pad Compact on sale, including Gengar and Sonic editions, as well as deals on the Attachment Set–which lets you turn the handheld controllers into a wired controller for docked play.
