There’s only one more day to go until the Cyber Monday gaming deals get properly underway this year, with the sales event set to begin on November 27, but if you’re a regular Nintendo Switch player who enjoys using the console in handheld mode then you can already secure a brilliant bargain on one of my favorite Nintendo Switch controllers. An officially licensed accessory by the esteemed Nintendo peripheral manufacturer Hori, the Split Pad Compact is a super comfortable handheld grip that replaces your Joy-Con with something more akin to a traditional controller.
If you have larger hands like me, it’s a refreshingly comfortable way to play that has helped me enjoy longer gaming sessions without developing hand cramps. The controller’s thumbsticks, which are much larger than those found on the Joy-Con, are also a blessing for certain games. I find their increased size makes it much easier to aim when I play first-person shooter (FPS) titles like Overwatch 2 and Paladins on the platform. The controllers also feature back buttons, which can be quickly mapped using a handy button, and come in a wide range of appealing colors and designs.
While there are deals on the whole range, including the older Split Pad Pro controller, the best offer right now is on the Apricot Red version of the Split Pad Compact which is at its lowest ever price on Amazon. No matter which option you pick, however, all models are fully compatible with both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch OLED systems.
