Pretty legit. Pretty impressed with hori products
I started off getting a split pad pro by hori as part of an eBay bundle. Turned out that setup is pretty damn good too (another review) which turned me on to hori products. My Nintendo neon blue left stick was starting to drift and I knew hori made the Zelda licensed joycon with the d pad. Decided to go with the hori option vs another Nintendo replacement. I'm very impressed with hori products overall now. Was always wary of third party stuff. It fits both (old and newer models) my satisfye backings (older model is a little tight but fits). Also have some thumbstick caps designed for Nintendo joycon that fit like a glove too. Only criticism is the (-) button which is a mushy rubber instead of the clicky Njoycon version which feels like it'll rip out if I graze it just right since it it elevated higher than Njoycon. Overall very good design. Not perfect but pretty damn good. That's it for my run on sentence stream of conscious review. Wanted to get observations out quick.

Before I bought this, HORI, Nintendo Licensed and Zelda themed left Joy-Con replacement controller. I had quite a lot of movement issues in some games on my Nintendo Switch.
But, after using this controller I’ve noticed a marked improvement on how I’m able to move in all my 2D platformer and side-scrolling Switch video games. I just love this thing. I haven’t experienced any issues with thumb stick drift on it, it’s easy to install and uninstall and I really dig the Zelda aesthetics a bunch.
I also found that just doing simple things on my Switch like navigating the eShop and other menus is much more precise now and I don’t overshoot selections anymore. That’s a really great added effect as well I’ve found.
Besides not having the rumble effect and the controller not being wireless like the default Joy-cons. Well, I haven’t noticed any difference in using this new controller and I’m really satisfied with my purchase.
This isn’t my first HORI item I’ve bought either. Everything I purchased from them seems to hold up and work really well in my opinion. Plus, I just feel more confident in buying their stuff, knowing that it is all licensed directly by Nintendo. It’s cool, too, having the one black and one bright red Joy-cons I thought. They go well with the Resident Evil thumb grips I bought recently as well, hehe.
I would say that if you’re struggling in 2D side-scrollers, platformers or just want the more precision that a true D-pad can offer you. Then I would highly recommend this Joy-con controller replacement by HORI. I hope this helped other shoppers and thanks for reading :D.

I bought this for my new special edition OLED and it looks fantastic and works well so far! I guess the only thing I don't like too much is how the small square button and the small minus button feel "squishy" instead of "clicky" like a regular joycon. But those buttons are rarely used, and the dpad and other buttons feel fantastic.
Buyers should be aware of the lack of battery and rumble. This controller is intended to be used only while attached to the Switch (portable use only). It states this clearly in the description, so I won't complain about that.
Lastly, I use this with the Satisfye Zen Grip Pro and it fits perfectly. Some of the reviewers here claim it does not fit. It absolutely does. Although I haven't measured precisely, it seems to be pretty much the same shape and size as the official joycon.
It's less expensive than an official joycon for a reason. You are losing some of the features of the official product, but you gain a dpad and a great design in the process.
The bottom line is if you read the product description carefully and know what you're buying, you truly won't be disappointed.
