The [HORI](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flex-controller) Split Pad Pro Controller is a pro-grade peripheral for [Nintendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-pad-pro) [Switch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nitro-deck-plus) users that will enable them to swap out the OEM controllers for a more ergonomic alternative. Fitting neatly onto the sides of the mobile console, the controllers mimic the experience of full-size alternatives and will allow users to spend extended periods of time playing on the console without fatigue. Users can take advantage of programmable rear buttons, enlarged grips, buttons and more to make the console comfortable for high-pace games that require focus.

The HORI Split Pad Pro Controller is officially licensed by Nintendo and features Daemon X Machina branding and accents on various parts of the peripheral to make it applicable for fans of the recently released title.
