Conclusion
It works normally, so there is compatibility.
By the way, what I verified was the wired model.
Horipad User Experience
I needed a controller because I wanted to play Switch's Momotaro Dentetsu with 2 players, so I purchased this.
It was cheaper than Joy-Con and seemed easy to use, so I chose this one.
As a result, it was a great success. The quality was completely different from cheap controllers that cost around 2000 yen and just work.
First, it's comfortable to hold.
The buttons and left/right sticks are also easy to use.
It's durable, and the cord connection part is well reinforced. My child is currently throwing it around while playing, but it's still intact.
Differences with Switch 2 Model Horipad
Prices are as of the time of article creation, so please check current prices via Amazon links.
| Item | Old Model | Switch 2 Model |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ¥3,300 | ¥4,000 |
| Turbo Mode Button | Front surface | Back surface |
| Assignable Buttons | None | 2 on back |
Differences in basic performance are unknown.
When deciding which model to buy, if you want this button placement and assignable buttons, the new model is the only choice.
For games that require simultaneous button presses where thumbs are busy, there seem to be convenient ways to use it.
Wired Model Cannot Use Gyro
As stated on the official page, the wired model has functions that cannot be used, and this is clearly specified, so let's check.
Horipad for Nintendo Switch - HORI
Among these, gyro is particularly likely to have an impact, so be careful if you want to play games like Splatoon.
The wireless model has gyro and acceleration sensors. Please check the following URL for other specification differences (there doesn't seem to be an official page).
What About Used Ones?
When trying to buy cheaply, I think used options are also available.
With used items, you can't receive full warranty support, so I think it's fine as long as you're aware of those risks when buying.
By the way, warranty information was written in the inquiry section.
Contact & Repair Application - HORI
Above, I've summarized the verification results and information for people considering purchase.
I hope this is helpful.
