Full-Size Handheld Controls

The Split Pad Pro provides significantly larger controls and grips than standard Joy-Con controllers.

Its full-size design gives players a more traditional gamepad-style experience while keeping the Nintendo Switch in handheld configuration.

This makes it particularly suitable for:

• Pokémon Games
• Action Games
• RPGs
• Racing Games
• Fighting Games
• Platformers
• Adventure Games

Large Analog Sticks

The full-size analog sticks provide a larger control surface than standard Joy-Con sticks, creating a more traditional controller feel.

They are useful for precise:

• Character Movement
• Camera Control
• Aiming
• Exploration
• Driving

Traditional D-Pad

The left controller features a traditional cross-style D-Pad, making directional input more familiar for players accustomed to conventional gamepads.

It is particularly useful for:

• Platformers
• Fighting Games
• Retro Games
• 2D Games
• RPGs
• Menu Navigation

Assignable Rear Buttons

The Split Pad Pro includes additional rear buttons that can be assigned to supported button functions on their respective controller sides.

These provide convenient access to frequently used commands while maintaining a comfortable grip.

Turbo Function

Built-in Turbo functionality allows supported buttons to perform rapid repeated inputs.

This can be useful for games that require frequent or repetitive button presses and can be configured directly through the controller.

Direct Nintendo Switch Connection

The Split Pad Pro attaches directly to the left and right rails of the Nintendo Switch.

Because the controllers receive power and communicate through the console:

• No Bluetooth pairing is required
• No internal controller batteries are required
• No separate charging is required
• No wireless setup is necessary

Simply attach the controllers to a compatible Nintendo Switch for handheld gaming.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for:

• Nintendo Switch
• Nintendo Switch games supporting Handheld Mode

Important Feature Limitations

The HORI Split Pad Pro is designed to provide improved ergonomics and larger controls rather than replicate every feature of Nintendo's standard Joy-Con controllers.

The standard Split Pad Pro does not include:

• Wireless / Bluetooth connectivity
• HD Rumble
• Motion controls / gyro
• NFC / amiibo scanning
• IR Motion Camera

Games that specifically require these Joy-Con features may require standard Joy-Con controllers or another compatible controller.

Handheld Mode Note

The Split Pad Pro is primarily intended to operate while physically attached to the Nintendo Switch in Handheld Mode.

It does not operate as a pair of standalone wireless Joy-Con controllers.

Separate HORI accessories exist for certain wired configurations, but these should not be assumed to be included with this Pokémon edition unless they are physically present in the package.

Nintendo Switch Lite Note

The Nintendo Switch Lite uses integrated controls and does not have detachable Joy-Con rails. Therefore, the Split Pad Pro cannot attach directly to a Switch Lite for normal handheld use.

Important Note – Open Sealed

This product is listed as Open Sealed, meaning the original packaging has been opened.

Before publishing or sale, verify the individual unit's cosmetic condition, left and right controllers, exact Pokémon artwork/edition, included accessories and documentation, packaging condition, and warranty details.
