Best Pro Joycons? - Hori Split-pad Pro vs RGB Joycons?? (Gen 1 Binbok review, OUTDATED) 

**Thanks For Watching!** Support the channel so I can afford to get better lights! XD What Joycon do you prefer? Nintendo, Hori, the the BinBok?

Because the back buttons on the hori split pad don't let you map what you want, I went with the binbok. Also the binbok being wireless really helps as well and I really like how the grips look THICC instead of just wide like the hori.

Bought the HORI from target and it came broken glad I was able to get money back , bought the binbok on Amazon , thanks for video 👍🏼

You're playing one of my favourite games - Bastion ..n for that you get an instant like 😀..very detailed review on controllers ..

Im on the fence about the binbok. The analogs look like the same ones that are on the powerA wireless controller, that have small thumb suface area and are hard plastic instead of rubber which makes it slippery.

For me, the Hori was the way to go. I already had a 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ for docked gameplay so I didn't really need a pro style controller. I never use motion controls unless the game requires it and I dislike rumble and usually turn it off in my games. And I never buy amiibos so all of the missing functionalities weren't issues for me, really. Where I live, the Hori Split Pad Pro is sold in a lot of places and the "licensed by Nintendo" seal of approval makes me sigh of relief since I'll know for sure there won't be any problems along the line. I'm not saying the Binboks wouldn't be great. I'm sure they are. But for my use case, the Hori SPP was great. My only gripe is that I really wish the controllers were even thicker and more curved like a regular controller. I still feel like my hands are cramped (just like with the joycons). And yes, I do have large hands and long fingers so it's saddening that although people commented that the Hori SPP pads are "huge", I actually disagree on that. They're nowhere near the size of Xbox controllers or the Switch Pro Controller, unfortunately. Overall I would recommend the Hori simply because although it's not perfect, it lacks some features etc. but I find it's a readily available reliable product that fits well with especially first person games like BioShock and although it's nowhere near as great feeling as a dedicated gamepad, it's still miles better than the joycons and doesn't suffer from the drifting issues. I paid 40€ (+3€ for shipping) for mine and I think it was a bargain.

Hori split pad pro! I prefer only certified products for my switch right now. I really love the hori split pad’s options as well

I ended getting mine on February 26th. :D I freakin LOVE it! It’s definitely the best third party Joycon I’ve owned so far. I can see why Amazon is having trouble keeping them in stock.

Really want the BinBok controller, just need a good case that fits them

I was gonna switch from hori to binbok cuz of the gyroscope, but if they seem that flimsy, I’d rather stick to the licensed and tried and true HORIs. I hardly use gyroscope, and even if I’m forced into using motion controls, like with some Zelda BOTW puzzles, I’d just pop out my joy cons or pro controller for that moment. Thanks for the review.

Great video. It seems the Hori is slightly bigger. From ur experience, is the Hori a lot more comfortable because it’s a bit bigger that the Binbok? I really want something that feels as close to a pro controller as possible but in Joycon form. My right thumb gets cramped from not being able to stretch it out when using the analog stick. Is your right thumb more comfortable on the Binbok or Hori?

I like the pretty much all black look of the bin bok and the binbok have fatter grips something i hope hori improve in the next version. How do the sticks feel for fps games compared to the hori specifically right stick aiming

Came here exactly because my hori split pad pro isnt up to snuff. Right trigger is wobbly and theres noticeable audio play in the face buttons. Im not impressed with them. Maybe the lava red hori was a bad batch?

Binbok left controller is all wobbly. I've exchanged 4 of them.. they all seem to be the same. Must be one guy making them all. Hori is very solid. Only thing I do not like about Hori is the joystick is tall for my hands.

So I got a official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for Docked mode. I love that and will not change it.. I was actually looking for exclusive "Best" handheld Joycons for when i'm playing undocked. I want some different joycons to slap on to make it feel premium. Shall I go with the Hori Split Pad Pro then? I'm not intrested in pairing them up with my Switch for Wireless or playing stuff like Mario Party, JUST handheld mode.. Need to have that "Gameboy" premium feel, im debating wich one I would need..

5:39 I see that copy of The Last Guardian. Good man 👍👍

Bought the binbok because of this review hopefully they come soon

I ordered this Binbok controller on February 15th when Amazon was saying they’d be restocked by the 21st. As of today (the 25th), they’re listed as “Currently Unavailable,” and mine have yet to be shipped. I hope they come back in stock soon.

I know this is a year old, but this helped me a lot. I'm about to be a first time switch owner and had no idea which to get

i have owned 2 daemon x machina versions of the hori split pad pro, but for some odd reason - both right sides of the joycons have completely stopped working after a year or so of owning them. there was really no resolution to my issue and the prices of the split pad pro increased dramatically. i just ordered a pair of binboks today and they seem quite better than what i had before ; the durability seems good, and i am a huge fan of LEDs. i am still really bummed out on how i could not repair my joycons that i have cherished for a while.

these controllers have a big deadzone on the sticks.the split hori do not, they are extremely accurate. it is no accident that they are licensed.

How have you got the HORI to work out of handheld if they don't have a internal battery?

What did you use to hold the split pad pro controllers at 4:23 is it the PowerA Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Comfort Grip

The Hori splitpad has the best sticks Ive ever felt in a controller. Much, much better than the Pro controller or Xbox Elite. I just wish it was wireless and had gyro. And larger grips.

Great video! I’ve had the split pad pro for 1.5 years but just ordered the binbok to try them out cause of your excellent video! Quick question: what game is at 1:40? Thanks!

It's pretty wild to me that Nintendo don't seem to have an official version of this.

The question for me is wich one is the best for etris, Hori is really good but the dpad is a bit "hard"

Really love the binboks as they come with the features that split pad doesn't have.

Just got a set of the Binbok and I'm very happy with them. Can't speak from experience as i dont have the Hori spit pad but to me they were a no go because of not having gyro motion control. I don't consider is a feature but more of an incomplete controller without it as so many games are requiring it to some extent. Zelda BOTW for example. In shopping Amazon notice closely the button and stick placement.. Binbock and the Hori controller were the only ones I found that were spread out more like the official pro controller instead of vertically stacked like the Nintendo joy-cons. Look closely at your pro controllers layout and compare the layout spacing to oversized joy-cons your considering for purchase. Happy with Binbok for now.. to me it feels much the same as my pro controller in hand and that consistancy helps me to play better in switching between controllers. And FYI the satisfy grip feels great but still leaves you stuck with the tiny stacked controls of the switches joy-cons... then there's the drift issues. That said Binbok fits the large satisfy case quit well. Good luck to all!

Well said. Hori were making controller since ps1 or earlier. Its a ageless solid product

That missing gyro is a pretty big deal

The hori D-pad is probably one of the most precise I've ever used. If it had some more grip to it, it would be perfect

You said that the led lights on the RGB controllers stay on while having the switch in the dock at night when charging the switch. I dont use my switch that often and I don't want to have the led lights running constantly, is there a way to turn the RGB controllers off when not in use? Second question, do the RGB controllers come with a piece in the middle when having the switch in the dock hooked up to the TV? Because with the HORI controllers i know that you have to by a set to play in non portable mode. Thanks.

What's a good case for the binbok controllers

There's a turbo button on the Binbok RBG joy-cons?

My issue is the split pad is $80 for the controller dock as well vs $50 for the binbok

1:25 what game is that? Well what are all the games you’re playing here I’ve never seen them and they look fun. I bought the binbok I love them though my pair had an issue with the a button not responding if I left it idle but the replacement haven’t don’t that so far.

Thanks for the review. Been looking for a wireless version of Hori Split.

I heard these joycons have serious lite bleed. I also heard the rumble in the left joycon is puchier

I have both. Binbok looks better and more sleeker on the switch. The dpad on it for me though is garbage compared to the split pad pro's dpad. Both feel good generally outside of the dpad. The only thing that sucks to me about the split pad pro is lack of rumble and gyroscope There's another one out that's built like the split pad pro but with gyroscope and rumble. That's called the mobapad m6. If that one is good it's going to be the best thing out for the switch as far as controllers go.

Took back my horis and ordered the binbok. Horis don't have rumble, button mapping and don't sit level with the screen like the binboks do.

Would u say the hori thumbsticks are more accurate and precise than the binbok and joycons thumbsticks in handheld mode??

I wish the hori one had the gyroscope. This is the big thing that is preventing me to buy it. Would also like the rumble but not as mandatory. The buttons that seems too poor quality on the Binbok really prevent me to buy it. The bad d-pad, I can live with it since I'm barely using it. But ABXY, and the triggers,... No I can't.

goodness you need to dust the dock and fan shroud w/e that is lol, otherwise very good precise review on all the nitty gritty.

To anyone who plays Fighting games. Which one do you prefer?

Where can I find the grips it’s connected to that makes it a full controller, I’ve looked online and can’t find it anywhere or what they are called

I just want to know if rgb ones are good for playing apex legends like the pro controller. But the pro controller is a hassle to take around

I thought that the binbok let you map any button to the back buttons? Are you sure they don't? Or were you just showing rhe binbok while talking about the hori split pad?

Hori pad pro had the best D-pad I have ever felt for a Nintendo switch. Especially For fighting games. Hori ftw

Which one has better ergonomics, like feeling in hand during play. Not including the feel of quality.

What joys would you recommend for someone (me) who's playing mostly cozy games like pokemon series, stardew, animal crossing, minecraft, lego... ? thanks!

I had the binbok/nyxi joy cons but the deadzone of sticks were horrible.... I bought recently the Hori Split Pad Pro and is Awesome to play Shooter Games! good review!

Does split pad pro not work by wireless, has to be docked as handheld mode always?

Binkbonk RGB is the best because it has Bluetooth and slightly smaller than the other one

Can it be used on the phone too? Does it work on the phone via Bluetooth?

The charging thing is for every joy con. It’s to preserve the switch battery life.

Subscribed. Great coverage and thoroughly covered those things I was most curious about. Thanks. Looking forward to following your channel's content. What was the game at 6:09 ? thanks

6:08 anyone know what game is being played in the background?

I want one so badly but there out of stock

I already have the hori split pad pro but I was wondering does the connector grip that comes with the RGB joy cons work with the hori split pad pro?

Is there anything to make Hori split pad pro use able wireless ?

Do the Binbok still work? Have they drifted?

Hey ! nice video I have a question what is the game at 6:13 Thank you !

What was the second game you showed, right after Mana?

I bought them through the link, they did not arrive and I lost 60$

Dang I was hoping the binbok joy cons could remap the right joy con buttons to the left joy con back button. I can't slide jump in apex legends of they don't allow that to happen. That's the reason why I returned the hori split pad pro to Wal-Mart the next day.

Bro I really like the hori split pad but WHY can’t it be like the binbok and be used without them connected to the switch

What is that adapter you using in wireless mode?

Don't let him lie. Had hori joy con controllers lasted maybe 4 months. A Button kept getting stuck. I though maybe it had gotten dirty somehow. Opened it up and found it was the plastic that housed the a button the side of the plastic piece had given out so the button when pressed would bulge out the side that gave way and would get stuck. Hori is ok quality at best. It's nothing like holding a pro controller. I wish someone would make a pricier higher quality alternative.

Where to buy the battery pack grip for hori split pad?

Can Hori split pad pro use remotely like a pro controller or RGB to play with TV?

Is using the turbo thing where it spams for you considered as hacking in Minecraft? I don’t Wana get banned

What game was that on 1:37 ?

hello what is the game u were playing at 1:43?

U have too many complaints about the binbok. It's hardly a difference the binbok is just basically lighter but with way more features.

Question if I hear it right , can you map the buttons on back (example putting the A on the left Joy con)

Thx so much for the comparison bro it really helped me out a ton! :) also quick question what game are you playing at 3:45

What game is it at 2:23?

0:49 which game is it?

Misleading thumb nail, you know good and well the Split Pad Pro can't be used as an controller.

Can you use the Binbok on, say, PC?

Great review

how can you have that grip for this product!?? is extra buy!???

Helpful, thanks.

What game is at 0:49

Do they fit on the OLED SWITCH?

Great vid. It got me to order the Hori.

1:41 what is this game?

1:36 what game is that?

The binbok i bought developed a walk within a day

Whats that thing that he used to connect the joycons without the switch

RGB?? Sick!

so I've been planning to get the binbok ones for my birthday, but I'm on the fence about buying them because I've seen some reviews that say they have dead zone or they wont connect properly, do yours still work properly? or do you prefer the hori ones, I really want to get the binboks because of the motions controls and rumble but tell me your experience, thanks.

the Hori seems have better and larger sticks without that horrible rounded sharp step inside

I have the split pad pro and love it

What games are you playing in the video? Looks like a lot of fun

What fighting game is that @4:58?

Buen video, carnal

Is their any way to use the hori split pad pro with a connector or grip

The link doesn't exist shady
