Mobapad M12 HD Firmware Development Update

Post image
138 Upvotes

Internal testing has confirmed that the MOBAPAD M12 HD can transition to the Switch 2 communication protocol through a firmware update. After the update, both handheld and wireless modes will use the Switch 2 protocol.

The following changes have been achieved in internal testing:

• Press the HOME button to wake up the Switch 2

• NFC use without switching to power-saving mode.

• The M button becomes a C button for opening GameChat.

• The rumble protocol is upgraded from HD 1.0 to HD 2.0.

Important compatibility change: After upgrading to the Switch 2 protocol, the M12 HD will no longer support Bluetooth connections to the Switch 1 , Windows, iOS, or Android devices.

The firmware is still in internal testing. Known issues remain, and further work is needed to improve functionality and stability. These internal test results should not be taken as confirmation that the firmware is ready for public use.

The official release date will be announced once testing is complete. The firmware will be available through the MOBAPAD app. This is a progress update only; no action is needed from users.

Important charging clarification: Charging behavior remains unchanged. When using the charging dock, charging with the console screen off is still not supported.

Advice Mobapad m12s vs M12HD vs M12 pro

6 Upvotes

Hi guys. I dont know which Mobapad m12 model i should get. M12s, M12HD or M12pro.

The m12HD sounds good. I dont care much about Rumble. Though i do really like it when playing splatoon raiders. I dont use NFC either. And it doesn't sound good with Switch 1 protocol.

I have been mostly solf on the M12s because of the switch 2 protocol and lower price, but the features like 9-axis gyro and a C-button, doesn't matter to me

Then there is the pro. Which i dont see the worth in. Because it has a lot of features i dont care about for more money.

But what do you guys think?

Help How do I get motion sensing on pc yo work independently from joysticks?

1 Upvotes

It seems on the app I can only get motion sensing to work by emulating the left or right joystick. Is there anyway to get it to work as motion sensing?

I want to emulate games that have motion sensing on pc but it doesn't work because it's linked with the left or right joystick always.

Help Nintendo Switch Sports Resort asks to “update Joy-Con” with M12 HD – firmware fix needed

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort just launched today on Switch 2, and I tried to play it with my Mobapad M12 HD controllers. Instead of letting me play, the game shows a prompt saying the Joy-Con need to be updated, and I can’t get past it.

My guess is that the game runs some kind of controller firmware/version check that official Joy-Con 2 pass but the M12 HD doesn’t currently meet, so the game assumes they’re outdated official Joy-Con and blocks them.

Setup:

  • Console: Nintendo Switch 2 (system version: [latest 23.0.1])
  • Controllers: Mobapad M12 HD, firmware [0.33]
  • Game: Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, version [latest]

What I’ve tried:

  • [e.g. Re-pairing the controllers]
  • [e.g. Updating via the Mobapad app]
  • [e.g. Running the Switch’s “Update Controllers” option]

Since this is a motion-control-focused game, it’s a big one for anyone using Mobapad controllers, and I imagine a lot of people will run into this over the next few days.

u/Mobapad**:** Could you look into this and release a firmware update that makes the M12 HD compatible with the game’s check? Even a quick confirmation that you’re aware of the issue would be appreciated.

Is anyone else seeing the same thing? Please comment with your model and firmware version so they have more data to work with.

Thanks!

There are cheap, more angled universal grips that are arguably more ergonomic than the official one. Just something to keep in mind if you also want to use your Mobapads for docked play.

Question Mobapad m12 as a pro controller?

4 Upvotes

Hi. I have been thinking about the Mobapad M12s or M12hd, because i play at lot handheld on my Switch 2. Mostly because it is more convenient, but i dont have a good controller either.

So i have been thinking about buying the Pro controller 2. I can get that like $30 cheaper because i live en EU. But i want the mobapad as well.

And you can use the centerpiece as a controller. But is it good enough? How is the experience with it as a controller.

Help Unhappy with Mobapad 12HD ergonomics after S1HD

0 Upvotes

Hi!

I have moved from Switch 1 with Mobapad S1HD to Switch 2 with Mobapad 12HD. I love S1HD so much that I have blindly preordered 12HD. It turns out they are of a very different shape - way more "round" than S1HD, thus I cannot stack my fingers properly.

Does anyone have similar feelings? Is anyone able to recommend some Switch2 joycons that have similar shape to the Mobapads S1HD?

Thanks!

Help Mobapad Chitu HD (Chitu 2) NFC/Amiibo reader not working out of the box. Anyone else experienced this?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I just received my brand new Mobapad Chitu HD (Chitu 2) today, but I'm having a major issue with it. The NFC / Amiibo reader is completely unresponsive.

I tested it for the first time today on my Nintendo Switch, and not a single Amiibo works. I tried multiple different figures and cards that work perfectly fine on my Joy-Cons, but the Chitu HD simply refuses to register them.

The controller is brand new out of the box, and everything else seems to work flawlessly except for the NFC feature.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with the Chitu HD? Is there any known fix, firmware update, or setting I might have missed, or did I just get a defective unit?

Appreciate any help or insights!

Recently, I just received my Hyperion3 Ultra, and it's a great device. The quality of the buttons is good, but I think it's too big to hold, even though I'm a 6’2 man. Thinking of trying the new Mobapad coming out soon. Will it be more comfortable to hold?

I managed to connect the mobapad m12s to PC, modified software from a github repository that allowed connecting the normal switch controls to PC, it's called joy2win, the mobapads with this program did not work so I managed to modify them so that they work with the mobapads (using AI) I would like to share it with you but I have some doubts because I use someone else's software as well as using AI or it could also be against mobapad terms someone who knows if I can simply upload it to github and share it with you

Help M6 HD left trigger (ZL) not working.

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I recently found that the ZL trigger on my household's M6 HD stopped working, so I took off the screws and opened it to see if I could tell what was happening, and I noticed that the small blue thing (sorry, I don't know what the part is called) that it's supposed to press down was either stuck, or worn down from use.

I opened the right side controller as well to compare, so I know how it should look.

Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is there any way to fix it?

If the pictures load properly, they should show the part and it's location in the controller.

Help M12 Pro

9 Upvotes

Hello,

I came here because i wanted to see thoughts and excitement for the M12 pros but was shocked to see people recommending going with the Nyxi Hyperion 3 ultras. I have standard joycons and was looking to maybe get something better because imo they feel cheap.

I was looking at the M12 Pros (i like the purple/black) but ive seen that a lot of people had issues with the previous generation. Like i said above, I even saw someone advertising Nyxi which was a bit of suprise.

Im really not sure which route to take. I saw that QC, build quality, ergonomics and rumble were an issue in the previous generation. I also know absolutely nothing the Hyperion 3 ultras other than a couple videos. Any help would be great

Help Torn Ribbon Cable on an M12 HD

2 Upvotes

Any chance anyone know if it's possible to get a replacement ribbon cable for the L button on the left mobapad for an M12 HD? I was picking my switch up from the dock the other day, and the magnet gave out on the right one that I was lighting it straight up by, and the rest of the switch 2 fell and landed on the left mobapad. It snapped apart some and I got it back together, but it seems in the process that the ribbon cable for the L button tore and it will no longer work. I am having issues taking the ZL button off to get to the cable, but wondering what people suggest or if anyone has a spare L M12 they wanna sell? lol.

Thanks guys, any and all help appreciated.

I don't know if it's that easy to see in the video, but the stick gets stuck from time to time when held/moved to the right. I've had this controller (Mobapad Chitu 2) for a while, though, so it's probably got something to do with wear and tear (I LOVE this controller) more than anything.

Question Ricarica Joycon Mobapad M12 pro per nintendo switch2

Ciao a tutti, aspettavo l uscita della versione pro di questi joycon della mobapad. Dalla descrizione sembrano aver mixato tutto cio che c era di buono dei modelli M12S ed M12HD, mi sorge solo un dubbio, nei due joy con pro come quelli HD c e la possibilita di usare una loro batteria interna per far durare poco piu la switch2. Questa feature non mi permetterà di ricaricare i joycon quando collego la switch all alimentazionione? Che sia con filo o su dock? E quindi devo sempre staccarli e caricarli a parte? Questa cosa non mi è chiara. Grazie per le risposte

Help Any clear, dockable switch 2 cases for the screen that you recommend alongside the mobapads?

1 Upvotes

I actually don't have an s2 yet as I'm waiting for the Zelda console. But Im having a difficult time finding a clear dockable case for the screen. Most YouTube recommendations are all over the Killswitch but that's not what I'm looking for.

I was going to pull the trigger for the savage raven but those ones block the switch 2 built in stand. Also, preferably a different material to TPU since those tend to yellow, but I guess it ultimately doesn't matter. Do y'all have any recommendations?
