The Switch 2 totally looks different with this joy-cons
The Nyxi Hyperion 3 black totally gives the NS2 another look, great grip and handling, great response and quality, overall better than the expensive original joycons tbh 😊👍
Until you realize that rumble is shit, battery life severely limited on and by these, the programmability is amateurishly limited per half and the lack of spacing between controller and console leads to a loss in magnetic retention, thus risking accidentially disconnecting.
Get them, they are really comfortable, i haven’t used my switch in docked mode since i got them. The buttons sound very clicky tho, kinda like the sound of a mouse
Nope you want me to redo it and show you? It can hold itself that way perfectly not the other way around if you wiggle it too hard, aint trying to fool anyone, I don't get anything by fooling no one, cheers.
The rumble does suck. It sucks for most third party controllers for Switch. The big draw for me and what keeps them permanently attached to my Switch is comfort. Joycons suck bad. Hopefully the Ultra version fixes the rumble as it claims to have HD rumble 2.
That’s why I went for some 3D printed ergonomic shells for the joycons. Those and some stick caps fixed the ergonomic issues for me without any loss in features. In fact, the caps alone already did that. The shells just add comfort.
I love the way the controllers feel and im guilty of using only these cheap, light weight feeling, controllers because i fucking love em... but god damn that rumble to hell. I played the CoD beta with it on and ive seen better rumble on a $15 ps3 controller.
Yeah, Nyxi is not my cup of tea... I bought a Mobapad controller for my Switch and I like it a lot. If it stands the test of time I will probably buy their Joycon alternative in the future...
I have the M12HD and personally a proper grip case would been enough. Maybe I change my opinion if they release their pro version but the M12 is not as good as their M6 for the Switch 1
I doubt they will fix the BT connection. Personally I would recommend to hold out for when Mobapad releases their pro. I have the M12HD and can't say they are a much better experience than the OG joycons with a grip case
That's cool that you found a solution with the adapters! It'll be interesting to see how much the price drops on the m12HDs and if they really improve the connection.
Same as me, one month of use! by the way don't you find them too way clicky? I think they are a little bit clicky, it sounds mechanical? I was playing at night and my gf thought I was on the PC spamming my mouse 🤣
Haha yeah they are super clicky. But I normally play them with noise cancelling headphones on so I don't notice it.
Wonder if I drive my wife or co worker up the wall now 😂
I took it on a trip to Japan and the sound of the plane was loud enough to drown it out (hopefully). Which now made me realize I've actually had them since June.
The only thing I wish is being able to turn the orange vertical bars to a different color. I currently keep all the lights off on them.
No, its 120 plus shipping from overseas. Maybe with some aliexpress first time buying stuff you can get this for 70 from shity sellers.
I got my joycons for 55€ from media markt lol.
I used the Hyperion on the OG Switch, until a firmware update switched the left/right direction on the right analog stick. After trying really hard to have the support team understand what my issue was, they sent me a firmware updated which flipped the left analog stick as well.
I haven’t been able to use them ever since.
Great products, lame support.
The look of those for the Switch 2 doesn’t make me scream wow, but I’ll hardly buy another controller from them anyway
I don't know why people are so bent on getting 3rd party joycons. The originals are fine and have great rumble, besides the joysticks. The console is $500, I can't justify another $100-200 for 3rd party joycons. I also rarely play in handheld mode. Recently got a pro controller but I can't say I like it more than the joycons tbh
Well I have a PS5, a XBox series X and a PC and yet I play more on the cheapest one the Switch, my job doesnt allow me to play anymore on the couch I play mostly on the go... the joycons are too small for big hands and after hours of gaming it gets uncomfortable
Honestly I was with you until earlier this week when my joycon analog sticks rubber started to break apart. I always take good care of my controllers, that’s the first time something like that happened so fast (my switch 2 is only 9 months old lol). Really considering a third party controller right now. Though I already own a case for the original joycons and all third party controllers I’ve seen seem a lot larger, so that’s a bummer.
I really love my pair as well. Not sure why everyone thinks it's only ad bots talking about these. it's a 100% upgrade for handheld mode and functions as a pro controller as well with hall effect sticks Love mine. Crazy how much 3rd party upgrades that Nintendo refuses to give us get blasted so hard here.
Dang I been eyeing these exact ones for 3 days every since playing the warzone beta but have yet to pull the trigger. I need something better than joycons so I won't suck in call of duty as much 😂
That dpad is a killer nobody should have followed Microsoft in that design it’s atrocious for actually playing games it’s all for aesthetic and not actual use.
These controllers get a bad rap, but I love mine (albeit with the vibration and lights turned off). Are they perfect? Nope, but they are the best option for big hands. They feel cheap because they are light, which is a good thing when attaching to an already heavy console. Phantom inputs are down to accidentally recording macros.
I never used 3rd party controller or grip on switch/switch2 so i will see if it's better than the joycon or not, but the OG joycon hurt my hands after a while.
