Description
Introducing a cute Pokemon design that is compact and designed for mobile mode only to fit women and children.
● Controller for Nintendo Switch™ mobile mode.
The Grip Controller Fit for Nintendo Switch was born from our customers who want the Grip Controller for Nintendo Switch to be a little smaller.
Considering the size and shape to fit both women and children, it is easy to handle even with small hands and has a combination of "stable operation", which is characteristic of the conventional product that prevents fatigue even during long periods of play.
● Pikachu with Mimikyu and Gengar themed variations Which one will you get?
● Grip that fits your hand
The back of the pillow fits in your hand, giving you the feeling of operating with a regular controller even in mobile mode.
Even after long time use, it is stable and comfortable to play games.
Compact size
Compact size that is designed to fit small hands such as women and children.
The width is also narrower than the previous model, allowing you to play the game in a natural position without the side opening too much when you hold it in your hand.
Buttons and sticks are also designed to run smaller than the typical controller.
● Back button + assignment function
Each L/R side controller has a rear button.
Assigned button function to support complex operation during the game by assigning your favorite button function. > ● Continuous Shooting / Continuous Shooting Hold Function
Equipped with a continuous shooting function that allows you to shoot while pressing the button, and a continuous shooting hold that allows you to shoot continuously without pressing the button.
You can switch between 3 levels of continuous firing speed.

  Link doesnt work?

    Appears you have to manually search for it on Amazon, because of Japanese characters in weblink that messes things up when copying and pasting.

    Should be at the top of the list if sorted by price lowest

  Good deal, but the whole reason that i would get a hori split pad (pro) is to have larger controllers that are more comfortable to grip for long periods, getting the compact version seems redundant to me.

    I have these and can comfortably game until the switch battery dies. They are a lot larger and thicker than the joy cons. No idea if the pro's would be even more comfortable but I imagine this is a large hands vs medium/smaller hands thing. People also report the buttons are a lot nicer on the compacts.

    They're more comfortable than Joy-cons but not as cumbersome as the Pro. It's as if not one size fits all.

  do these charge and function the same way the Nintendo original ones do?

    Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure Hori pads have no batteries and hence only work in hand-held mode.

  Can I still use gyro controls while attached to the switch if my controllers don't have gyro? since the switch console has a gyro built in

  • 

    Frugalbargainator on 23/06/2023 - 07:11

    I had wondered that too. It seems yes

    The answer is yes, but also no.

    YES, the Switch itself has gyros (as demonstrated in various Labo kits).

    NO, because games using the Switch's gyro sensors is entirely dependent on whether the developers decided use those sensors for input.

    I suspect that in most cases, the devs would rather not have to bother accounting for potentially conflicting gyro data from the Switch (say it's docked) plus left and right Joy-Cons (say you're holding one in each hand, without a grip), or have to program in conditional input switching based on detecting whether the connected controllers has gyros.

    It's easier for most games to simply design controls so that they only expect to get gyro inputs from a single source per player.

    Which is why Daemon X Machina, one of the original games the Hori Split Pad was associated with, AFAIK never had working motion controls while using them.
