So, my both my JoyCon have a bad drift, and the extra one I got also have the same issue. I am looking for some third party handheld controller for Switch.

Only need it for handheld, since Pro Controller is pretty great and I have no issue with it when playing docked.

I have done some research, but was hoping to get some personal feedback from the lovely people in the community.

So, any recommendations?

    I like the Hori Split Pad. I have both the Pro and Compact models, but prefer the Compact. The Pro is more comfortable but makes the whole console massive.

    The analog sticks are way better on either model. I found first-person shooters practically unplayable with the regular joycons because the sticks are too loose, but the Hori pads are much tighter.

    The only downside is there is no gyro or pointer control, so some games like BotW aren’t fully playable.

      I didn’t realize there was a compact version now. I love my pro model. Makes the console large but it’s comfortable and like holding a proper controller.
