Prime Day kicked off earlier today and there are already an abundance of deals to check out. For Switch fans, you can score some great discounts on a wide variety of items, especially on hardware. If you're looking for a new compact controller to use with your Switch on the go, you can score some great deals on a few different Nintendo Switch Split Pad Compacts from HORI.

What We Said in Our Review
Our Hori Split Pad Compact Review, from reviewer Mark Knapp, explained that "the Split Pad Compact is a nice upgrade and good value for playing on the go". If you've been looking for a new on-the-go controller for your Switch but don't want to shell out tons of money, this is a great option to go with. Also, having different colors and designs on sale is a fun bonus if you want to add a bit of personality to your Switch!
Is it Worth Buying At This Price?
Considering Joy-Cons usually run for $79.99 as a set, this is an excellent discount for substitutes. It's unlikely we'll see savings like this until Black Friday as well, so there's no better time to buy. These HORI Nintendo Switch Split Pad Compact deals also add a nice pop of color or a fun design to your Switch, which is always a nice bonus on top of a cheaper price.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Alongside Black Friday, Prime Day is one of the biggest sale events of the year. It features a variety of excellent discounts, from tech to games to books and so much more. If you're an Amazon Prime member, you can take advantage of the deals available right away. And if you're not a member, don't worry, you can take advantage of a free 30-day trial to see what offers are available at the moment.
