InJeffable - yeh that is a solid point actually. I travel for work, and rely on my Switch to get me through 1-2hr flights - and I never ever fear that the battery will collapse in that time. You're right that gyro/rumble features would likely be a drain on this... Climate neutral by ClimatePartner certifies the carbon footprint of a product was calculated and all associated emissions were offset.
If you're looking for more Tears of the Kingdom products, Nintendo will also be offering a collector's edition, amiibo, themed Switch OLED, a Pro controller and a carry case. CJD87 Besides the comfort, one thing I like about the Split Pad Compact is that it maintains the design language of the Switch with Joy-Cons attached. It looks like something Nintendo themselves might have made if they had decided to make a bigger version of the Joy-Cons. The split pad compact is my go to Switch joycon alternative, so I'll probably end up getting the Zelda ones of theseIn total for Switch, I own a standard Pro Controller; wireless Hori Sonic; Pac-Man Split Pad Pro; Power-A wireless Mario Bros. 3 and Twilight Princess; and Power-A wired Super Mario Bros., Kirby, and Metroid Dread. I also have Joy-Con in grey, OLED white, blue Skyward Sword edition, and two pairs of Animal Crossing ones I never use.
The only negatives for me with the Compact is that they have no rumble/gyro (same negatives as the larger Hori pads) Nintendo Switch Joy Con Bookends - Nintendo Bookends, Gaming Book Ends, Game Box Holders, Game Room Decor To accompany Skyward Sword HD, Nintendo announced a new set of Legend of Zelda-themed Joy-Cons. The left and right Joy-Cons are modeled after the Master Sword and Hylian Shield respectively, to mimic how the Joy-Cons will function when played in motion-controller mode. CJD87 I would happily swallow a 20% price increase as well, but I doubt it would be only 20%. One of the neat things about the Split Pad Compact and Pro as they are is that they draw such a small amount of power that they're powered by the Switch itself with no noticeable drain. If you start adding more components, you're going to have too much of a draw on the Switch's battery, meaning that each individual Compact or Pro unit would need to have a rechargeable battery. So, you've got rumble, gyro, and a rechargeable battery added to each unit. My guess is that the increase in cost would be closer to 50%.

InJeffable Yeh 100% mate, and the split compact certainly looks "the part" moreso than its larger bulkier brother! Not_Soos that'd be the Split Pad Fit/Comfort. I've been using one for my Switch for 6 months and haven't taken it off. Feels really great and definitely recommended if you can take not having gyro/vibration. I love my hori but had to switch to the Binbok since they have rumble and motion control. The d pad is horrendous though. Lol.
Great Deal
