The Translucent Black option isn’t much more at $40.49. If you want the red version, you can grab it here on Amazon for $42.10 (16% off). Keep tabs on Walmart to price match.

The Split Pad Pro offers a better Nintendo Switch handheld experience than the traditional Joy-Cons regardless of which style you choose. Needless to say, the programmable features will come in very handy for a lot of games. And there’s not a game out for the Switch that wouldn’t be improved in handheld mode with full-size analog sticks and a proper D-pad.
