@uvoros1512 11 месяцев назад

Can confirm it's a fantastic accessory, in fact it's so great that it made me realize I was missing out on the Steam Deck. Now I only play on my SD.

@macsucktwice 11 месяцев назад

I liked mine at first... then three weeks later I realized I haven't played anything but my switch for three weeks and in handheld no less. So I think at some point I really grew to love it. Solid purchase. Also programming one of the buttons to L3 really makes running in games much more enjoyable

@gengar8118 11 месяцев назад

Mapping L3 and R3 to back buttons is the first thing I do with controllers. It’s the first thing I did on my steam deck with every game. Besides running it’s also great for melee attacks or reloading.

@tengudemon2 11 месяцев назад

Had mine for a couple of weeks now. It arrived just before I moved house so I had lots of time waiting for deliveries in an empty house which gave me time to play and I have to say I like it. D-pads were too thin for me but I find this really comfortable.

@heinzpilot 11 месяцев назад

I just got my Nitro deck last week. I bought the purple color that looks like a GameCube controller. Looks very nice. I was using it with my 2017 switch. I actually really like this controller. I like it so much that I bought the switch OLED to use with it specifically. Since I'm planning on using the OLED only for handheld gaming and not connect to the TV I really don't think the Nitro deck is as bad as a lot of you reviewers are saying when it comes to button and joystick placement. It's not a big deal to move the hand a little bit when using the d-pad. Just my opinion. Definitely makes the switch feel more premium in my opinion.

@wyrmfireno1 11 месяцев назад

I got something similar that I really liked. It would normally be about $50 but I liked that fact that it was a strictly wireless connection and leaves the Switch's USB plug open. While this means you have to charge it separately, it also has a decent battery and lasts about as long as a Pro controller. The kicker is, since its wireless, you can remove and dock the Switch console portion and then use the device as a wireless controller. The color is a little wonky with the front being transparent with a skin applied and the back being basic ABS. A pair of programmable buttons and the ability to control the lighting and vibration intensity make up for that, I think.

@XionSteel 11 месяцев назад

This would have been something i'd consider getting earlier in the switch's lifetime, well before i would consider getting a carrying case or pro controller. But at this point I already have a pro controller, and a switch lite with a case for it, my normal switch is just permanently docked to use as a home console. So this is something i consider as some cool tech, but I'm way past the point of needing it.

@tanner3270 11 месяцев назад

i find it weird he didnt say anything about the hall effect sticks

@_iboji 11 месяцев назад

I really like mine. The digital features are hokey and the removal process and the battery drain are negatives. The reason to pay one of these are that the ergonomics are superior (previously the near featureless Hori Split pads were the only way I could play handheld mode in any serious amounts). It is like incredibly more comfortable to use in my big and tall guy hands and I desperately hope the next switch gives us more ergonomic fully featured joycons.

@GalactusTheDestroyer 11 месяцев назад

I was putting on a dinky rubber grip that looked like ass every time I took my Switch out of the dock. I also felt like I was about to damage the shoulder buttons trying to get the grip on. This is a much better solution for me. The slot in click action IS quite nice.

@brucieplays3720 6 месяцев назад

Which color did you get bro?

@ryuhoshu3303 11 месяцев назад

There's a release latch for the Switch just below the kickstand so you don't damage the console trying to get it out of the dock

@bubbledoubletrouble 11 месяцев назад

You mean the release latch below the kickstand that he presses at 5:50? Would have been nice if they had incorporated posts at the bottom that pushed up against the Switch when the latch was pushed.

@TBHJR 11 месяцев назад

I’ve had the GameCube one for a few weeks. It’s great and I love the build and design, but it doesn’t alleviate right thumb strain when using the camera in 3D games and FPS’s. I also wish the grips were a bit bigger. Oh, and that $30 extra covers the carrying case, thumbstick toppers, and the USB cable. The regular Nitro Deck doesn’t have accessories included.

@kipschumm1849 11 месяцев назад

I like the idea of the Nitrodeck but it is hard to justify getting one this late in the Switch’s lifecycle since I’ll probably be getting rid of mine after getting the new model - unless there’s no backwards compatibility or the Switch OLED gets a softmod like the 3DS

@GalactusTheDestroyer 11 месяцев назад

I was ready for your video on the Nitro Deck. I've been using mine since it came out and love it mostly. The right joystick could be higher up on the device. I didn't splurge on a color variant although I really wanted the SNES version. I did end up ordering a case separately so I spent just about the same amount of money but without limited edition color lol. Whoever reads my comment don't be like me. If you plan on getting a case, just buy the limited edition versions that come with a case. But now that I have one, I do have piece of mind that my joysticks won't ever develop drift. Also the trigger buttons are analog! No use on the switch really but could work if connected to a pc.

Like what ? It already has Hall effect sticks, macros, gyro, vibration, charging pass through, and use it as a controller when docked. It’s 20 less than a set of joycons. I can’t think of anything else it needs, besides maybe better quality vibrations and the back buttons too easy to push. Still worth 60 tho I think

@therunawaykid6523 11 месяцев назад

@@steveybiggunzgaming8118yeah I agree, very tempted to get one of these myself - for me one of the main benefits is the much more convenient position of the charging port which is on the back of the deck instead of the ridiculous position of right in the centre middle of the switch which is really uncomfortable

So far, im loving mine, makes everything easier and not having to worry about drift for a long time, the charging input placement, and the overall feel just makes up for the 60dllrs for me. Its the best handheld experience ive had since I bought my switch, and I truly went through a lot of joycon variations. Oh, and forgot that I also used it as a pro controller while wired on dock mode felt kind of weird at the beginning, then got used to it and its really good if you have no other good controller options.

Glad you mentioned about the terrible sticker that has to be removed! Mine left residue across the majority of the back. Whilst I removed it all, I think it affected the surface of the Nitro Deck as it started to scratch the back of my Switch. Interesting about the battery draining issue. I returned mine in the end. I liked the thing itself but ultimately it suffers from being a first product (even if it's by a company owned by the Embracer group).

@s3cr3tpassword 11 месяцев назад

When I got my first switch, I played BOTW on it for a few months straight. Played both handheld and docked using the joycons. The controllers started drifting after 2 months. Then I learnt about stick drift being an issue for the switch. Since then I’ve been apprehensive about playing too much in handheld mode, especially intense games. For TOTK, I almost always played in docked mode. I could have gotten the hori split pad but it has no rumble. So I’m looking forward to getting this.

@curtislevey7639 11 месяцев назад

Yes but you have to figure out the timing for the button presses yourself which takes some trial and error and is pretty difficult. I had difficulty setting off combos in games for example if it was slightly too fast or too slow. And they get set off EVERYTIME you press the button with that layout profile on. So you'd have to set it to the back buttons (assuming you can) or constantly change profiles.
