## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this fit a satisfye grip. Please only answer if you have tried. Thank you!**
A: As far as I know yes, II buy these for my son and he loves them

**Q: is it a joy-con or a case for joy-cons?**
A: It's not a joy con, it only works as you actually connect it to your handheld switch

**Q: Can you use this with the satisfye pro grip? i mean does it fit?**
A: It should but don’t take my word for it; I don’t have the grip.

**Q: What's the difference between this product and https://www.amazon.com/hori-d-pad-controller-zelda-officially-licensed/dp/b01ajrn4ce/ref=sr_1_3?crid=22**
A: Nothing this is exactly the same product by the actual same company and vendor so you lucked out because I think it's Black Friday and because it's discontinued that's probably an old posting from when I purchased it and they probably reposted it to get it more noticed and so they could get rid of the stock they have laying around so go for it just remember there are no extra advancements no Rumble no using it as a single joy-con it's just a shell with a control pad made to be used for handheld but still completely worth it in my opinion to get that control pad when your portable

It well made feels lighter than a regular Joycon but it's nice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great replacement for handheld users
*by A***. on April 25, 2020*

To clear some things up: First of all, this joy con is HANDHELD ONLY. Please don't blame the seller when you didn't take the time to read. Second, I saw a few reviews criticizing the design, specifically the position of the analog stick and the d-pad. This is meant to mimic Nintendo's joy cons, it is their design model and not Hori's you should be aiming at. I bought this to replace my drifting left joy con. In terms of materials, I will say that you do get what you pay for, but I didn't mind what I got here. The shell is a lighter, see-through plastic, but it's not slippery. There's no battery in this, so it's very light, but I didn't notice when I was playing. I did feel the lack of HD rumble at first, but I got quickly accustomed to it (it tends to rumble enough throughout the whole console anyway). The capture and minus buttons are rubber instead of the standard hard plastic. I like the capture button better this way, I used to accidentally bump it far too often on the regular joy con. The minus button was already hard to press for me due to my small hands, this is no different, but having it be softer made it a lot easier to find and easier on the thumb when pressed compared to the hard plastic. The release button is raised rather high, and I'm not sure what the reason for this could have been. I wasn't bothered by it, but this might be inconvenient if you have a case without any wiggle room. Lastly, while I know this must drain more battery because it has to in order to function, I didn't really notice any extra drain. However, I expect very little of the Switch's battery life already and rarely play outside of the house, so I'm the least likely to be bothered by this. Does it drift? I play a good handful of intensive games 10+ hours a week, and it's held out longer than my original, more expensive joy con, so do with that information what you will. Overall, if you play mostly handheld/only play in TV mode with a pro controller, this is a great replacement, especially if you're trying to avoid the dreaded drift and don't want to spend $40 for the official replacement.
