Hori daemon x machina joycons
I am not sure if it drains the Switch’s battery more than usual but it doesn’t feel like it does during my play sessions. This also means that the controller doesn’t need batteries. I feel like there could be an adapter developed that would enable use as a wireless controller but as of this writing that accessory doesn’t exist. For one, this controller only works while connected to the Switch, so it can only be used in handheld play.

Unfortunately, for the price of $49.99 USD, the Hori Split Pad Pro could be a lot better. I still use my good old Gamecube controller for Smash Bros. Maybe I’ll pick up an adapter to use my other controllers or something. Now if only I could solve the stick drift issue for when playing docked. I usually pick up cases or shells that make handhelds bigger or add a more traditional grip so it was a perfect fit when I picked this one up.
When it comes to comfort, I do not see myself going back to another controller, at least when playing handheld. Dead Cells also felt as smooth as butter with the Split Pad Pro. In action games like Blasphemous, I stuck to the stick. I found this to be my preferred way to play the dungeon-crawler Void Terrariumbut there is a stiffness that can be hard to get used to so it may not be the best for fighting games. This D-Pad is not the best but it does feature the ever-important central pivot. One area worth pointing out is the D-Pad on the Split Pad Pro. Face buttons also feel like that found on the Xbox One and though I do like the clicky buttons on the Joy-Cons, these hold up just fine and are much larger. In fact, because these sticks are taller and therefore have more travel there is more precision available. The sticks themselves feel more like Xbox 360 sticks but there doesn’t appear to be any less control. There’s also turbo that can be assigned to any button, perfect for some arcade games but most support turbo in the settings such as the Psikyo Shooting Stars collections. There are broad grips with a mappable button under each hand and the triggers are broad, making the controller a perfect fit for first-person shooters. The Hori Split Pad Pro feels like an Xbox One controller in the hand with an offset stick placement. While the Split Pad Pro is missing features that most would want such as motion controls, NFC reading, HD Rumble, or the IR camera, just having a functional controller of that size was enough for me and I am super glad to have picked it up. This isn’t a sponsored post and Hori doesn’t currently send us products, I just really like this controller. Even at launch, I wasn’t a big fan of how the Joy-Cons felt and of course, my units recently became a victim of joystick drift, conveniently right around the same time I had the same issue with my official Pro Controller. Right before the big move from Alaska to Texas, I purchased the Hori Split Pad Pro ( Daemon X Machina Edition) as a way to make the Nintendo Switch more comfortable.
