Review: Great Replacement for Joycons - I bought these to replace the original Hori controllers I had. I was a big fan of Hori’s larger joycon replacement and used them for well over two years. Unfortunately they began to drift due to normal wear and tear. One thing I worried about when buying these was the decrease in size compared to the other Hori controllers. I can say with certainty that the change in size is not an issue. Hori makes great products that are excellent quality and a great value. One of the biggest advantages for me, compared to normal joycons, is the size increase that comes with them. I have large hands and find joycons very uncomfortable. These fit very nicely in my hands and are more comfortable for my ten year olds hands as well. Quality wise they are on par if not better than Nintendos controllers. I’m very picky when it comes to controllers and tend to not use anything but OEM. These controllers are the only exception, I would use them over joycons anyday! Thumb sticks are great, buttons are smooth, the added programmable buttons and turbo are just icing on the cake. However, there are a few trade offs with these if you’re unfamiliar with Hori. First and foremost these controllers do not have internal batteries. You can not use these seperate/disconnected from your Switch. You do get a nice weight reduction from the lack of battery though. Secondly, there is no RFID reader in these controllers. You will need to use joycons if you plan to use Amiibos. Overall you will not be disappointed in these! You literally can’t go wrong for the money you’re spending and will enjoy these over joycons….especially if you have larger hands or find joycons uncomfortable. Please note that if you’re planning on mainly gaming through your tv or playing split screen multiplayer you will need other battery powered controllers! These are only for handheld mode but make a world of difference to myself and many others. If you’re considering these and mainly play in handheld mode then do yourself a favor and purchase these. Also big props on the special versions of these! I purchased the pikachu and mimikyu variant without any regrets. As a die hard Pokémon fan these are the cutest and have probably the best design of any Pokémon controller on the market hands down.
Review: Amazing! (Read whole thing) - I recently had the yellow and grey version, but returned it because I regretted getting it and wanted to order those Binbok joy cons.long story short, I trust hori more so I got these. Before getting them, I played some games without rumble (to see if I would be okay without it) and decided that I’m most games rumble isn’t that significant. It would still be call if they added it though. And motion controls I NEVER use. I got the gengar version and it does not disappoint.It really looks amazing. I do not regret it, the quality is good, back buttons are a cool addition, and so are turbo buttons. The joysticks are definitely the best part about them, and while playing Pokémon suite of Mario odyssey, they make the game play ALOT better. Face buttons are a bit mushy but not that noticeable, D pad felt a bit stiff at first but then felt much better after a while. Triggers are clicks and responsive and so are the shoulder buttons. Back buttons are also clicks. They are lightweight. My favorite part though has to be the design and color way. It looks really cool and sometimes I just sit there and admire it. And compared to the joycons, the ergonomics are perfect and they even have a texture in the back of them. All in all, I definitely think these are worth it and gaming with them is a whole experience! Edit: less than one month later. I didn’t use my switch for about a week, and when u started playing on it again, everything seemed to be fine. Then out of nowhere, the lady controller just did not work anymore. I am going to return this, I really wanted to like. I might try again but this time with the red version.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can they be used off the switch body?**
A: No, they are meant to be used solely in handheld mode.

**Q: Are the shoulder buttons clicky (like the normal controllers) or do they go down?**
A: I have no idea how to answer this so I took a video. The buttons fell very good to me. I like to feel buttons moving & don't like too much resistance. They are not squishy & not exactly clicky either.

A: This is only the controller

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get them!
*by K***Y on December 5, 2025*

These controllers are excellent quality. There’s absolutely no drift, and they work exactly as expected. My husband wanted a larger controller because the original Switch ones are too small for his hands, and these ended up being a perfect fit. The buttons press smoothly with no sticking, and the grip feels comfortable even if you have smaller hands. Overall, great value and we’re really happy with them.
