Customers are mixed about the feel of the video game controller. Some mention that it feels great and sturdy, with a nice tactile feel to the L button. However, others say that it doesn't feel good when pressed down, feels odd, and unnatural to play with an original right joycon. The buttons are squishy and unsatisfying to push, and cause a bit of discomfort.

"...pretty subjective and this dpad is a little mushy which I think feels pretty good but if you prefer something more clicky you might be disappointed...." Read more

106 customers mention "Wireless"0 positive106 negative

"...and the other joycon have their own gyro & as I said this will not work wirelessly. The dpad is massively better for platformers, period...." Read more

"Sadly doesn't work wirelessly, but beautiful wired on" Read more

60 customers mention "Drifting"13 positive47 negative

Pretty legit. Pretty impressed with hori products
I started off getting a split pad pro by hori as part of an eBay bundle. Turned out that setup is pretty damn good too (another review) which turned me on to hori products. My Nintendo neon blue left stick was starting to drift and I knew hori made the Zelda licensed joycon with the d pad. Decided to go with the hori option vs another Nintendo replacement. I'm very impressed with hori products overall now. Was always wary of third party stuff. It fits both (old and newer models) my satisfye backings (older model is a little tight but fits). Also have some thumbstick caps designed for Nintendo joycon that fit like a glove too. Only criticism is the (-) button which is a mushy rubber instead of the clicky Njoycon version which feels like it'll rip out if I graze it just right since it it elevated higher than Njoycon. Overall very good design. Not perfect but pretty damn good. That's it for my run on sentence stream of conscious review. Wanted to get observations out quick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does What It Says On The Tin
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2020
Style: The Legend of ZeldaVerified Purchase
This JoyCon only works in handheld mode on the Switch. It would be great if it could work outside of that mode, but it does not.

So knowing that limitation which Hori is not trying to hide, this is a good product. Having a proper dpad is a huge improvement over the split buttons on the standard JoyCon. And it's a pretty good dpad. Button feel is pretty subjective and this dpad is a little mushy which I think feels pretty good but if you prefer something more clicky you might be disappointed. It reminds me of the DS Lite dpad. At the very least it works correctly, I have not noticed any incidents where it registers the wrong direction which is an issue that seems to plague most modern dpads these days. The rest of the JoyCon is indistinguishable from the standard JoyCons. Same build, same analog stick, same trigger buttons. I do wish they just sold these in standard JoyCon colors instead of the themed designs, but the Zelda one isn't too gaudy.

If you play 2D Switch games portably, this is a great buy.

I bought this strictly for the D-Pad and it works very well. I also love the look. Hopefully Nintendo will make D-Pads the default again when the new Switch successor comes out. I buy tons of HORI products because they're officially licensed by Nintendo. They can be trusted.

4.0 out of 5 stars Got platformers? Get this.
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2019
Style: MarioVerified Purchase
Okay let's get this out of the way, it's for portable only, won't work at all wirelessly and no you're not gonna mod it to work that way. That will not be a factor in this review because this thing is advertised as a portable only controller Okay? Okay.

The short: The stick is identical to the default Switch joycon stick, if there's a difference I can't feel it. The triggers feel good but different, the shoulder clicks louder but feels good. There's no rumble, or gyro. But that's okay since the Switch and the other joycon have their own gyro & as I said this will not work wirelessly. The dpad is massively better for platformers, period. Maybe tetris players would agree but that's not something I play so OH WELL.

The long:
The dpad is really nice, it's got a solid roll to it and some say it feels 'squishy' I'd say it feels smooth? Kinda like a softer WiiU pro controller. I like the dpad and I'm kinda picky, but honestly anything that gets me away from the horrible joycon 'dpad' and spares me from the Switch Pro's dpad I'm happy to have.

I tried several platformers, Sonic Mania, Freedom Planet, Donkey Kong, Flashback and I can say I felt a lot more in control with it. I know some think there's more precision to be had with the switch's separate buttons for a dpad and sure maybe for Tetris but when you want to roll your thumb over the pad to get to the direction you want and not just stomp in a direction to get what you want? You want a dpad.
I easily shaved off a ton of time in a few levels of Freedom Planet putting them more in line with my PC times with the v2 of the XB1 controller. Which was an instant improvement, not some overtime thing.

Also given Sonic Mania has a small puzzle game that's like Puyo Puyo, I can say I tried that a few times and never had any mistakes but I'm no pro-puzzle-player. So take that as you will.

My one complaint is unique. The joycon detatch button on the back? Is pushed outward, it sticks out on this raised box vs being right out the joycon. This doesn't effect gameplay at all- however I got that Amazon Basics case? And that fits the back of the Switch perfectly. Meaning? This don't fit in it. I'd have to dremel out a hole for it if I was gonna use both together.

Look I can't say this any more simply than this:
-Do you play platformers portable & the default joycon dpad annoys you? Get this.
-Are you worried the joycon isn't good for everything else? Well I just told you it functions as it should so you're safe.
-Do you have the amazon basics case? WELL then still yes but you might have to cut a hole because of that protrusion they put the joycon eject button on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good and pretty affordable as well.
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2022
Style: The Legend of ZeldaVerified Purchase
The price $19.99 is just right, for what you get. It's good, but not worth paying too much for since it lacks many things like a battery of its own. If I knew this didn't have a battery of its own I wouldn't have gotten this, but it's my own fault for not reading more about this before ordering it. I played my Switch handheld for a pretty long time with this controller attached and so far the battery life on my Switch still seems to be really good even with this controller that uses the battery from my Switch, so I have no complaints about this controller. I wanted this to use as handheld since my original 3rd party joy-con for the left side stopped working, and this is a good affordable replacement. It also fits perfectly in my Switch case as seen in the photos :)

1.0 out of 5 stars Faulty cheap joycon
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2024
Style: The Legend of ZeldaVerified Purchase
I really wanted to like this joycon but it’s just not great. I’ve already been through 2 of them. The first one had a weird grinding feel when moving the analog stick, almost as if there was “sand” in it.

The second one makes a very loud metallic spring noise whenever I move the analog stick from the home position. It’s really annoying.

The dpad is extremely stiff, and although it’s better than the original joycon button “dpad”, it’s still not good even for playing retro games.

Baught this when my joycon that cam with my switch broke from the fact I share my switch with my 4 year old and the both of us had a habit if dropping the switch. It arrived super fast and works even better the the original the upgraded arrow buttons really do help on games that require it like Mario party and retro games. 10/10 design and delivery with product exactly as described
