Hello, A-Sven-gers! Thanks for checking out this review video on the Wireless N-SL Controller for Nintendo Switch. The NSL wireless controller connects via Bluetooth, features six-axis motion control, adjustable dual rumble and a battery that boasts around 10 hours of game play. I tried this Amazon's Choice Best Seller on Nintendo Switch platform games, 3D shooters, racing games and more and have to agree that this price friendly, budget wireless controller is a welcome addition to our Nintendo Switch collection.

I had this one worked good for a year and now has uncontrollable drift. Keep that in mind

@SvennyMcG Год назад

Will keep an eye out for it 🎮👍

@SubZero8007 Год назад

My original Nintendo Switch controller got the drift as well after a year, so I'll rather buy 3 of these clones than one overpriced Nintendo controller :/

@SvennyMcG Год назад

Yikes on your Nintendo Switch Pro Controller? I haven't had that yet but definitely a good point

@misterlexx2721 Год назад

Image buying the $70 ones get it after 1 year or less. 70 bucks. I rather get a cheapie.

@SvennyMcG Год назад

That would definitely stink 😔 Thankful that I haven't yet experienced drift in this or my Pro Controller yet (Joy-Cons, however, is another story)

@zumadude1879 3 месяца назад

Thank you for the video! I've been eyeing this on Amazon for a whole and I may get the new 2023 model

@SvennyMcG Год назад

Honestly, still no complaints on our end. It's used every time my son and I play together (it's his preferred controller, I've offered him the Pro Controller 😊) and no complaints of drift or otherwise. It's actually a good controller for a great price 👍

@Shrow88 Год назад

I think the link seems to lead to a game and not the controller but found easily on Amazon. Price is very good, switch pro controllers tend to drift for me very quickly so this would be nice. Wish it were chorded only but either way I’ll keep this in mind. Very helpful review

@SvennyMcG Год назад

Okay thanks for the heads up! I've updated the link 👍 Definitely affordable and not a bad idea for the upcoming holiday season too. Thanks for watching!

@TJ-fc1zz Год назад

interesting controller for sure especially the price. I like that this one includes the rumble and motion controls as those are features that cheaper controllers tend to lack. I got a Horipad controller for about the same price. That one in contrast is a wired controller that's also missing the motion control and rumble features. Though I do like the feel of it apart from those small things.

@SvennyMcG Год назад

Hori makes great products! I have the Split Pad Pro and enjoy them (though am not a fan many features are missing like rumble). This controller was definitely surprising in how well it worked for the price. Thanks for watching! 🎮

@kylelowry188 Год назад

My controller doesn't connect to my revl any chance you may know I lost the manual , what does it says about the indicator or channels

@SvennyMcG Год назад

If you have another controller go to pairing. Hold down the H-button until it starts flashing quickly - this is the sync to get the system to connect. Once synced the first time you'll just need to tap the H-button to wake up the controller

@alexmaganda5827 11 месяцев назад

i rarely trust reviews from no name controller brands i ordered a no name once and it was unplayable i need good functioning buttons when i play fighting games i literally had wasted 25 bucks never used the controller after finding out it was a complete flop button pressing felt poor and unresponsive good working buttons with 0 delay are the most important thing

@hadeltuch 8 месяцев назад

is it possible to start several turbo buttons on the controller? for example A and X

@aeroon9991 Год назад

Do turbo controllers traditionally have a function that lets you hold the desired button to spam it? Like, using the T button on the L trigger, but not letting the L trigger go constantly unless you tap or hold it? It would be great for splatoon. :]

@SvennyMcG Год назад

I'd say it varies for sure. I recall some turbo functions that would engage the button automatically without pressing it while others only engage turbo by holding the button down. Definitely benefits to both 👍

@Griffingterra Год назад

Hey I bought one of these a few months ago, trying to get the turbo function to work but everywhere I've been able to look or read up on this thing, I can't seem to get it to function. Just trying to get it to press the A button repeatedly for me over night.

@SvennyMcG Год назад

Hi! In testing it I found by holding the *T* button and pressing one of the ABXY buttons it assigns turbo to it by holding the button down; I do not believe there is an always on function like some controllers. In your case, may need to assign *A* as turbo and physically tape it down or put a weight on it in your absence. Hope that helps, good luck!

@Griffingterra Год назад

@@SvennyMcG Actually helped alot. I got one of my hobby clamps down on the A button and it's pressing it repeatedly. Thank you so much!

@wymanpleasant9882 Год назад

i’m confused about what the turbo feature actually does? is it the same as holding down the button that you put into turbo?

@SvennyMcG Год назад

Yes, I don't believe it activates automatic turbo but rather for games that require repeated button presses to fire this would allow you to hold the button down instead

@keduias 11 месяцев назад

Not sure if you know or if any other commenters know...why are there so many different listings on Amazon for what appears to be the same product? They seem to be sold by different vendors for different prices but is there any actual difference in the product? Diswoe, Mibanasu, Sefitopher, CuleedTec, etc? Is there any reason to choose the $30 version over the $20 version? Or are they all the same exact product?

@SvennyMcG 11 месяцев назад

I can't say for sure but my suspicion is that many Amazon vendors are able to contact the supplier and sell on their behalf. I would look for a reputable vendor (one with a good sales record) with the best price 👍

@Laz3rCat95 7 месяцев назад

I got two cheap Switch controllers from different vendors and they look and function almost the same but one has additional back buttons you can use and the other one does not.

@SvennyMcG 7 месяцев назад

I've seen listings that have the mappable buttons - did the two vendors label them any differently?

@Autotrope 2 месяца назад

White label products sold wholesale by the manufacturer to any reseller who wants to market it. For Chinese manufacturers this often happens on Alibaba and the barrier to entry is basically that there's a minimum order quantity like 1000 or whatever, depends on product. Pay more and you can negotiate they put your brand on it or they make cosmetic changes etc.

@Autotrope 2 месяца назад

As for whether they're the same exact product - no guarantees. It could be the case that the basic product is flawed in some way but one of the resellers insisted on some improvements and ordered a lot of the improved version, etc. That said for this particular controller all the variants from different sellers I've seen so far seem to be equally well regarded by youtubers and stuff

@SvennyMcG Год назад

Hello! This controller functions more as a full Pro Controller than Joy-Con. If you're looking for a Joy-Con alternative this NYXI controller has motion control - in the video I play Nintendo Switch Sports 😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HmRWwRAcvKA.html

@Autotrope 2 месяца назад

This controller does have motion sensors and will let you use games that require you to shake the controller, as long as the game supports the Pro Controller, because that's what this controller replicates.

@SvennyMcG 2 месяца назад

Absolutely! Thanks for articulating this perhaps better than I had

@Zzeus_15 Год назад

Can you explain to me what the gyro function is and if it can be turned off for games like fortnite and apex?

In shooter games Gyro function is basically for motion control. I used it in the video for Duke Nukem 3D; games like Fortnite and Apex you can likely disable the feature in their in-game setup menu

The Home button circle will turn it on to connect; it will automatically disconnect by timing out after five minutes of inactivity. Otherwise, you can go to the syncing app and remove it there

You have to hold PS Button and SHARE button. Then you can see it in bluetooth

@SvennyMcG Год назад

For Bluetooth use on a PC?

@Autotrope 2 месяца назад

The capabilities may vary by revision but in wired mode on a PC it will present as a d-input controller by default or x-input controller if it detects steam. But since steam supports switch controllers and steam input allows you to map more or less any controller to any game, you could if you want connect this to a PC by Bluetooth and use steam's steam input to use it with your game even if the individual game wouldn't otherwise support switch controllers.

The triggers have a little more looseness compared to a Pro Controller but the pull feels similar.

My go to is the Pro Controller, every time, but for the price this isn't a bad alternative
