I no longer use these though since I found a better compromise. Google for a brand called BinBok. I know I rolled my eyes too on that brand name. They are legit though. The size factor is somewhere half way between hori and original joycons, but fully ergo shaped and the top and bottom of the pads don't stick up over edge. Those also have rumble and batteries so you can use wireless. They do not have nfc is only negative (but not a huge deal). Just make sure you are buying 2nd or 3rd update version if you are buying the binbok (newest preferred). They keep revising their model and making it better. My only gripe with binbok's is that the buttons don't feel as good as they do on hori. They are functional and fine though and The rest is perfect to me. The LED light rings around the sticks on the BinBoks can be turned on or off or different colors or effects, that either will or won't be a selling point to you (but off is an option if it isn't). Anyway, since I got the binbok joycons I don't bother with the originals joycons or the Hori anymore at all. They are as close to perfect as I've found so far.
So if you're looking for an alternative to Hori, Google for binbok. If your end up buying on Amazon, make sure you're buying the newest 3rd version of the binbok joycons though.

Because they do not have internal batteries, the console battery life is a bit less with these attached - I've noticed maybe 10% less vs. the Joy-Cons in my experience, but I haven't kept a detailed log or anything. They also make the system absolutely gigantic when attached and more difficult to transport, so I mostly save these for around the house.
They're absolutely worth it to me but I don't mind owning two sets of controllers that I use for different scenarios.
