#HORI BREATH OF THE WILD CASE PRO#

If not careful in sliding the two Split Pad Pro controllers in and out, these rests can also scratch the backplate of your Nintendo Switch. This is also probably going to rip any customization skins that one may have. These rests are a tight fit so if you’re using a TPU or clear plastic thin case, you will have to do away with them or cut off sections of them. However, people who use thin protective cases may have problems with the Split Pad Pro as each controller has a thick plastic rest that serve as support for the tablet to prevent wobbling issues. Inserting each of the game pads is quite easy – they fit just as regular Jo圜on would. I can do without the Daemon X Machina “X” symbol and would prefer a normal X, but this is but a quibble of mine. I think how well the red secondary color is received will be a matter of the owner’s taste personally, I like it. So despite an increase in bulk, using the Split Pad Pro makes the Nintendo Switch lighter in the hands compared to using the Jo圜on.Īs for the color scheme, the black plastic and buttons all go well with the black casing and bezel which all Nintendo Switch units have. Using cheap plastic is a benefit though, because the Split Pad Pro is very light – without actually weighing the gadgets, I can say that each Split Pad is lighter than an original Jo圜on. The name Split Pad Pro is quite apt because it looks like a Pro Controller that’s been cut in half.Surprisingly, each controller is quite light and feels like they were made of cheap plastic – plastic that you’d expect from a children’s toy and not the kind that you’d expect your video game accessories to be made of. The name “Split Pad Pro” is actually quite accurate, because this pair of controllers is as big as a Pro Controller. Right out of the box, what struck me first was how big each of the controllers were. So is Hori’s Split Pad Pro worth the wait of 3-4 months? Was it worth the extra that I spent just to get my hands on the product early? I knew there was a good chance that I would buy it Day One, and when local retailers had no updates on when it would be released here, I couldn’t help but order a pair from Play Asia, which cost me around 60% more.

Named the Split Pad Pro, Hori’s new accessory offers potential solutions to the many issues that I have with Nintendo’s original Switch Jo圜on. Since it was revealed during this year’s E3, I’ve been really looking forward to Hori’s new Nintendo Switch controllers.
