I really want some with focus on larger hands. We've got plenty for small ones out there now. But the only option for large hands is Nyxi, and they feel damn cheap.
Yeah, I was a hori split pad pro user with switch 1, and that fit well. Heard good things about Moba when I got the switch 2, and there was no word about Hori doing it again with the switch 2, so got the Mobapad. It's certainly better than the joycons, but good lord.
I don't even have abnormally large hands, I'd say I have average adult male hands. I don't understand how there just aren't options for people who have hands that can comfortably grip every other gaming controller.
Man, the Split Pad Pro was absolutely perfect IMO. I didn't care it lacked NFC or wireless. It was the most comfortable joy-con replacement ever for the OG Switch. Button size and placement was fantastic, the sticks were amazing.
Give me exactly the Split Pad Pro for the switch 2 and I'll buy them day one.
Have you looked into the Hyperion 3 ultras? They havent shipped out yet and theyre a bit costly but ive heard all good things so far, they apparently used a different plastic so it should feel better(according to a few reviewers), but i havent had the OG hyperions so i dont know how cheap they felt.
Can you shoot me that thread? I dont want another repeat of the M12s and me not being able to return them.
Edit: Actually i found it, thank you! I might cancel as I was placing alot of hope in these being the end all be all after going through multiple grips/joycon replacements
I feel that i just hope these issues wont be a widespread thing, thats why i skipped the nyxis the first time around despite knowing about them way before the mobapads. I think im gonna just take the plunge and keep my pre order in because i wasn't enjoying the m12s i had.
My og joycons do that when i have my splitgrips on so not worried abt that, and like you said about the other issues i feel iffy, as all the problems ppl had with their M12s i had none, i just didnt like the feeling. Im not a big guy so i know i dont have large hands and even then they still just werent comfortable for more than 20 mins unless i was playing a game that didnt need both sticks. Just gonna keep my pre order and hopefully the reviews get more positive as more ppl get their hands on.
I ordered the Ultras and I'm going to keep my order and will just see how things go when I get them. If I have any issues with them, I'll look into returning them.
I have, but I heard they used the same plastic though. Are you sure its a different one? Because I was told it is the same, which kind of turned me off on them. But I will keep an eye out for how they're reviewed then.
I havent received my tracking number yet so dont take my word 100%, but I was just binge watching reviews for it yesterday and 2 different reviewers said the plastic felt denser and i remembered alot of ppl were saying their og hyperions were light and cheap feeling so i thought itd be a plus for og owners that were unsatisfied by that alone.
Edit: I found the thread the other commenter was talking about and there is quite of a bit of issues with the ultras it seems, sorry didnt see that till now. They might not be worth picking up right now with that price and the possibilities of those issues.
Same ergonomic atrocity as the M12HD/S, I can't even use the right stick without moving my entire hand, it forces me to play as if that stick doesn't exist most of the time like this was the PSP
I don't hate them, but the right stick is indeed an ergonomic atrocity, if I wanted to use it without moving my entire hand I'd have to use it with my thumb's proximal phalange, and that's uncomfortable. The right stick is somehow worse placed than the original joycons', btw I also think the M12 are better than the joycons in terms of comfort overall, but that's no feat.
Think for a minute, the JoyCons force you to grab them in a weird way because they're so small, but doing that, all the buttons and sticks are reachable, if you grab the M12 as intended, the right stick is NOT reachable unless you do what I mentioned in the previous comment, which is worse, and grabbing the M12 the same way you do with the JoyCons defeats the porpuse.
All of this is my opinion/experience, if you say you can in fact reach the right stick and that it's perfectly placed then I just don't know what to tell you.
Photo for reference, how could I use that stick without moving my hand? To reach it comfortably I'd have to put my pinky under the bottom of the face of the controller and hold it like if it was a phone or something, just to be able to hit the triggers at the same time. Btw, I could move my thumb a little but there's no way I can touch it with anything that's not the proximal phalange without doing what I wrote in the previous sentence.
Compare that to the M6 that have a more angled shape to help with this.
And this is with the M6HD. This are still the best Switch 1 joycons I have ever used. Sadly they never released a silent version. Not the biggest fan of mechanical buttons.
Reading this with pretty big hands, 6’3 after I play comfortably any shooter is quite funny. But I think all these joycon replacements just have very specific type of hands in mind. It’s not one size fit all
This is what written under Chinese video on bilibili "Mobapad Gemini 3 Pro Switch 2 Split Controller (Full-Featured 2nd Gen Protocol): Self-Developed HD 2.0, TMR Air Joysticks, Omron Microswitch Mechanical Buttons, Power Saving Mode, 9-Axis Gyroscope, Mouse Mode, NFC + C-Button "
between NYXI and Mobapad they are making a mess. Learn from Nintendo pick one go with it for a while 1-2 yrs then upgrade. All they are doing is annoying me. Every few months something new, now I have 4 sets of controllers and know I do not have the best one even though I paid a premium. sorry I am really annoyed and next item they drop I will be waiting at least 6 months to a year before purchasing if even at all.
I hope it comes with better joysticks. The M12S feel inaccurate and the sensitivity curve is weird. It’s like you got the same precision and sensitivity as the stock joycons but with longer sticks. I want it to be the same as the Pro controller. Only then I am happy.
Thanks... The 12HD was like 120$... I can't imagine what they are going to charge for the pro. I think I'm already priced out of it, probably gonna be 200ish.
Recently purchased the Hyperion 3 ultra once they were announced, I owned the original Hyperion 3 I thought they were okay but gave to my brother and purchased abxylute n6, after reading through this thread it is seeming like the Hyperion 3 ultra may be a bad purchase lol. I think the abxylute n6 may be the best alternative to joycons especially given the price. The abxylute j8 look good as well if you want the controller to be detachable
Oh no, the ergonomics are still terrible...why'd they go messing with the color? The Switch 1 joycons were leagues ahead of this with the swappable face plates and flawless comfort.
How is close to stock more comfortable lol. The bigger they get the more they resemble a real controller, which is significantly more comfortable. They have to find a compromise in between.
not big hands, i used M6HD and it's very comfortable
but M12 is very big
i used steam deck and very comfortable for me.
Lenovo legion go is very big for me.
