When it comes to playing the Nintendo Switch in handheld mode, it can be a bit difficult for those with big hands. Whether it's cramps or my hands falling asleep, it's not a very comfortable experience. Thankfully, there are a lot of great options, including Switch grips and one particularly great controller. The Hori Split Pad Pro was released alongside last year's Daemon X Machina, but thankfully, it works great with almost every single game on the Switch--and right now, it's discounted on Amazon.

　　The Hori Split Pad Pro is currently $40.55 on Amazon, down from its original price of $50. It comes with free Prime shipping, though depending on your location, it may take a while to arrive. It's unclear how long this deal will last, so if you're interested, it's best to act sooner rather than later.

　　The Split Pad Pro is my preferred way of playing the Switch in handheld mode. Its ergonomic design makes it a more comfortable experience, and its analog sticks are more similar to a standard controller than what the Joy-Cons feature. It also boasts bigger face and shoulder buttons, as well as an excellent D-pad and programmable back paddles--and to top it all off, the Switch still fits perfectly into its dock. It's important to note that these controllers only work in handheld mode.
