Hori Split Pad Pro: My right controller is having problems

Wed, 01 Jan 2025 12:29:18 -0700

When I have my split pad pro it stops functioning mid game and it goes from running smoothly to the right one not responding and when I check the controller settings it shows the right one is not connected and I know it’s not my switch because the joy con works perfectly when connected. So in conclusion my right hori split pad pro is not connecting to my switch

Hori Split Pad Pro: Is it possible to repair the zr trigger button on hori split pad?

Wed, 01 Jan 2025 12:43:21 -0700

I bought two of these hori split pad pro controllers. I mainly use them to play smash bros ultimate. Both of them the zr trigger button got pretty mushy after 5 months and will not register an input when I press it. Is there any way to fix just that button?

PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller: Where can I get some replacement pads for the ABXY buttons?

Fri, 08 Jan 2021 07:11:49 -0700

After a whole year of much love and attention, my A button doesn't click like the other buttons and doesn't stand as tall. I'm worried it'll be non-responsive before long. I tried contacting PowerA but got nowhere. Where can I buy replacement parts without paying for a whole new controller?

Hori Split Pad Pro: Is there anything inside the feet that would break being cut off?

Wed, 01 Jan 2025 12:57:22 -0700

Long story short, I love these controllers - but the feet do not feet with the case on the body of the Switch, which I need. Wondering if they can removed without much worry.

Long story short - I want to cut off the two feet on the back so I can still use these controllers.

PowerA GameCube Style Wireless Controller: How do I fix upward drift in the left joystick?

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 16:28:35 -0700

The left joystick will randomly drift up, sometimes a lot and sometimes a little, but nevertheless it is really annoying when I'm playing Smash Ultimate and I try to do my neutral B attack but instead it does the up B due to the drifting. How can I fix this issue? (Also this is a wired controller, I could only find the wireless one on here.)

GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro: Pressing x or y gets registered as X+Y

Mon, 29 May 2023 20:16:40 -0700

I have tested the xinput online in a browser and on usb game controller settings from windows.

Whether I'm pressing x or y, the resulting inputs are always X+Y

I have reset/updated the controller but still no change in input. The controller is new and has barely passed 7 days of post delivery gaming(indie side scroller).

Is there any software fix to this or should I open it up?
