Hori Split Pad Compact Attachment Set For Switch Drops To Lowest Price Yet

Both the lavender and gray models are seeing great discounts at Amazon, though one of the deals won't be available for long.

Comments

Anyone looking for a Switch controller that's great for both handheld and wired play will find much to love about the Hori Split Pad Compact Attachment Set. This unique device gets you access to the popular Split Pad Compact for handheld mode, plus a wired grip they can attach to when docking your Switch at home. The set is usually quite expensive at $80, though a new Amazon sale is now discounting two versions of the gamepad to $60.

The set is officially licensed by Nintendo, so you know it'll work well with your Switch or Switch OLED. Our Hori Split Pad Compact review said it has "everything you could want in a Joy-Con replacement," including great sticks, a reliable D-pad, remappable back buttons, and impressive ergonomics.

When coupled with the Attachment Set for docked play, the Hori Split Pad Compact becomes even easier to recommend at this price. Along with a 10-foot cable, you'll get on-board audio controls and a headset jack. A few downsides include the lack of rumble support or motion controls--but at this new low price, it's even easier to recommend.

If you're not sold on the Hori Split Pad Compact, you'll find deals on the newer Nitro Deck controller below. The Nitro Deck has Hall Effect analog sticks, remappable back buttons, a built-in kickstand, and it comes in a variety of retro color schemes that pay homage to old Nintendo consoles. You can save up to $30 on the Nitro Deck with a dedicated carrying case.
