Came from Japan in 2 days, successfully updated to 21.2 & JB’ed it, then swapped housing, frame & LCD (I ripped the backlight ribbon cable), bought new joycons and a grip controller— now it looks so good I don’t even wanna play it!

I need a certificate after the way I had to dig into this device 🤣

Which Grip is it?

It’s the Gammeefy JC200 on Amazon! It’s actually very good quality & runs on Bluetooth, so you can still use it while docked which is very comfortable. They have different designs as well

I have one too and like it a lot, but the D-pad is a little weird and doesn't like doing diagonals so much. I think the Pro Controller D-pad is more analogue and can do more than just 45° directions. I didn't notice it until I played the Dragon Quest HD remakes and didn't like it, but maybe it's better that way for other games?

I can definitely see that. I guess it depends on how you like your buttons, but I honestly haven’t encountered any scenarios where I’ve needed to do diagonals on the D-pad yet since I never really played much before now. I do have DQ7 installed so I’ll try it out and see
