About goddamn time.
And of course now I want to get the Trinity Masquerade edition instead....

He loves it (not finished it 70 hours in). He says he didn't experience any of the technical issues some other reviews saw. Rates it as a review in progress, but after 70+ hours he says it is absolutely worth getting.
From other reviews they span from 8 - 9s with some mentioning technical things/issues, but not as severe as 2 was at launch.

i use those and they are great, no batteries inside so one less thing to charge. only downside is they are huge (good for people with man sized hands) and won't fit in a regular switch case, but hori makes custom case that holds them + switch and its <$20.
hori is also releasing a new version of the splits in a month or two that are a bit slimmer, maybe even close to regular joycon size

Which case is that? The only one I've seen from Hori that fits the Split Pad Pro is their 'Cargo Pouch', but that one's around $25 (and doesn't look to be a particularly well designed product compared to Butterfox, iofeiwak, or other third party cases that are wide enough to hold the Switch with SPP attached).
And Split Pad Fit is only coming to Japan at the end of September. Haven't seen anything about if/when it will come west. PlayAsia is selling it, but they sold out of the preorders super fast. Personally I don't see the attraction; it's still bigger than joycons so you need a custom case, and if you have to deal with that then why not just use the current Split Pad Pro which is actually ergonomic and already has cases available?

Negative. Just need extra space around it since they're so much wider than joycons. It actually makes it easier to put the Switch into the dock since you have to center it before you put it in instead of sometimes having to fumble around for the USB-C plug inside.

this is the one i bought when it was on sale, it looks a bit gay but i'm sure there are other skin/color options by now. fits perfectly with pads+oled switch + bluetooth buds, i don't carry a power supply or power bank around so dunno if those fit too

Ah ok. I was hoping Hori finally started making a case themselves (besides the Cargo Pouch, which has poor reviews from people trying to use it with Split Pad Pro). It's really bizarre that they make the controllers but don't offer a single hard shell case that will fit them.

This is really cool, didn't know it existed. I usually play Switch OLED in awkward-controlling handheld mode so this could be a huge game changer.
Two things:
A) Do these work with Switch OLED? Not sure if it's a different size from the normal Switch but I don't think so. Assuming it'd work fine?
B) It says they don't have "HD rumble" features...is this an issue? The Switch OLED has pretty strong rumble in handheld mode, which probably emanates from the joy-cons, so if these don't have any rumble, that's a big negative.

Yep they work on my OLED Switch.
Correct they don’t have rumble. I never cared about rumble as I mostly play RPG games but that’s me.

Deciding to not give a shit about rumble makes it much easier to get used to the best controller for docked mode too. Lack of rumble is the only downside at all to the PowerA Fusion Pro (unlike the Xbox version, the Switch one is wireless... and unlike most third party controllers it can actually power the Switch on remotely).

Still seeing one left in stock when I tried it just now.
Follow the link in the tweet above and make sure you're looking at used ones sold by Amazon Warehouse. Not sure what kind of shape "Used-Good" is in and if it's worth saving $16 over a new one though.
