Like the Pro version, the Split Pad Compact delivers something akin to a full-sized controller experience while using the Switch in handheld mode.

Here we go. Tried to save a few dollars by buying a licensed controller for my kid instead of another Switch Pro and the piece of trash has input lag. Go figure. I submitted a request to Power A and I'm assuming they'll send a refurb if they do anything. If they don't have a real fix for me then I'm returning this garbage."
