I can't change the colour on my right joy con starting yesterday. Also cannot shut it off unless my switch is off. Has anyone had this happen? Left one works fine.
I just received mine (milk white version). Very solid joycons. Very light imho, and I was expecting a little bit more heft but that’s a personal preference. One thing I have to say though is that the back ML/MR buttons may not have been quality control tested properly because the buttons recessed way too much into the shell, and the shell can be really sharp when you course your finger on pressing them down and glide your finger across the shell. Had to take them apart and superglue a credit card cutout shiv on the resisting wall for the back buttons to adjust the buttons correctly, and I used a nail filing pad to smooth the edges around the shell where the buttons are to make pressing them feel comfortable. After that adjustment they felt perfect. No regrets on the purchase.
I've been looking at getting something like this. The small joycons make my hands cramp trying to hold the switch. One thing I find funny about trying to order these. Using the discount code you provide actually costs more in the end. They are 52 dollars, and any order over 50 shipping is free. The 10% off makes it 48, but then they charge 10 dollars for shipping....So with the coupon code it actually costs 6 dollars more than just buying it outright...
Those are really close to the Bin Boks, which dissapointed me. The Analog Sticks are not even close to the Quality of a Hori Pad and the Nose to hold it in the Switch was unusable after the second time connecting it. Even the Metal Replacement for the original Joycons wont fit. No Help from the Support also. Bad Experience
It's a shame nintendo won't do something like this officially. Tbh nintendo not doing cool stuff like this is keeping the switch from being better than it already is.
They will joycon 2 next switch, I want two hptcons aged like nunchucks that would be perfect, hands apart gyro aiming wii remote chuck style simply cannot be beaten for switch and pc fps 3rd person shooter games
THANK YOU! The instructions don't specify that you need to release the T button to implement the change to the RGB lighting. That aside, these are perfect for handheld play! I have my Pro Controller for docked mode, and these feel just as comfortable in the hand.
Used the discount code along with points for signing up! Can't wait to try the Hyperion soon and compare it to my Binbox joycons that I have owned for a while. :)
I just got mine today and so far I have been quite happy with them. They work great, are super comfortable and apart from one game deciding to screw up the calibration (I might have had the stick slightly off center when I started the game) I haven't had any major issues. Only small nitpick is that the RGB on my units are quite different when it comes to intensity. My left joycon is quite dull where as the right one is bright and pleasing. But if I knew how I'd probably just turn off the LEDs completely. I find it a bit distracting and anything to save on battery life.
I got the Hyperion today. I will count up the pros and the contras: + No noticeable deadzones on both analog sticks + Vibration can be adjusted + RGB lights can be adjusted + Shoulder buttons are like BUTTER. You gotta love the smooth press on ZL or ZR + Mappable buttons on the backside + Turbo buttons - No HD rumble - No NFC reader - Turbo functions and the mappable buttons only work for each joycon. You can't map the B button on the left mappable button for example. - It barely fits in the original Nintendo Switch docking station, so a third party docking station may be recommended, but not necessary. You can put the console with the Hyperion into the station, but eh...it doesn't slide very smoothly into the station. I know some points are surely mentioned in the video. Just pointing out the sweet and also a few bitter points. I definitely recommend them to everyone. 🙂
I'm very curious about the docking, is it really as bad as it sounds? It was perfect with the older controllers and docking is something I do often, is there a possibility you could make a short/video showing the docking?
What's the sensitivity like on the thumbsticks? I had the original NYXI and loved the ergonomics, but found the sticks weren't nearly as smooth as the Hori split pad
I've had these for a week now and I LOVE them! I've been through soooooooooo many joycons and always had things to complain about with all of them. But not these! ....Okay. I have ONE complaint, which I cant find an answer for online so maybe someone here knows and can help. The problem: I dont like the RGB lights. They're distracting. So I turn them off. But every time my console goes into sleep mode and I turn it back on, the lights automatically reset. Is there a way to get them to just stay off for good?
I have the binbok one piece, identical to these, the sticks feel incredible and the buttons are nice, tactile with a bit of mush on the triggers. love this, may get these joycons for more portable usage
I have never understood the joycon thing. I always have my switch in a controler that the switch actually slides into. All joycons move to much on the sides of the switch. Why would someone want 2 flimsy controllers on the sides of the screen?? Yucky 🤮 the screen needs support. This really chaps my ass. SUB BTW!
I have a question, when they are attached to the switch, do they hold securely, I mean if there are no small involuntary disconnections due to a little play between the connectors of the controllers and the switch, if you move a lot while playing there will be no problem ?
Since the new ones are abit wider, will the new ones still fit in the Satisfye case or will it be a tight fit? I think I might buy a pair of Nyxi joy cons, cause I’m going to buy a switch and I’ve seen alot of good reviews on them, but I want to be sure that I buy a case for them that fits
Thing with the satisfied case is they have moulding to fit their grip so it does fit but it wobbles. The Skull and Co case is a better fit. Or just use the Nyxi case which they sell (I go through it in my other Nyxi joycon video) as that fits perfect.
I bought these joycons 2 weeks ago from amazon. At first I had a few problems with the center piece; one of the rails was too tight and I couldn't insert the left joycon. No big problem, i filed down the rail and the problem was solved. I mapped the button, after a long session of playing I go to sleep. The next day the buttons were unmaped, it happened every single time I left the switch docked. I changed the colors to purple. Every time I docked the switch and left the joycons recharge, the color went back to default. After A few days both joycons started to ignore inputs of the thumbsticks. That's something I couldn't ignore, i had enough. I wrote these and many other problems with the joycons I had, asking for a change. They deleted the entire product from amazon lol... aside from the problems I had, they were great, loved the shape, very comfortable, loved the thumbsticks, loved the colors (when they worked), loved the buttons you could map, loved the fact you could play both in portable and docked, i loved many things about the joycons, but damn the problems I had sucked.
Weirdly, Ive gotten mine from the website and this same problem also occurred to me. That’s why I usually stick to Red, so I wouldn’t have to change the colors everytime they went to default.
Aren't the original Nixie joycon's the same exact joycons as the bin bok just different branding? I have the bin bok ones and when I felt the d-pad I thought oh God But then I used them and they are great. If I remember correctly you can do diagonals on it when you want to but don't do them accidentally unlike the Steam Deck were you can't do diagonals at all and the Switch pro controller where you do diagonals when your not trying to.
How does the controller feel while attached to the switch? I had a binbok pair a while ago but returned them because they felt loose while on the switch and that made me uncomfortable.
I use a pair of controllers similar to binbok but from nexigo. They're not half bad. They always sell out though. So do binbok and nyxi. Why can't hori or nintendo make controllers like this?
Is this better than the white’s d pad? I love the white joycons but I can’t play fighting games on it because it will not for the love of god give diagonals
Has anyone had NYXI confirm them cancel your order for these? I’ve tried to order them, as well as the case, twice now. Luckily I have been refunded twice, but I’d really like to get them.
I have an issue with the controller. I experience this issue when I turn on my switch 3-5 times the RGB light returns to default and my mapped buttons at the back of the controller is removed. Is there anyway to resolve that issue? It's kinda hassle to remap and re color the RGB light again. I've been doing it multiple times and I don't like repeating it over and over again. TIA for answering.
Hi everyone i bought the hyperion one week ago,they are very good bad the dpad has a little problem after one week of usage the right sometines dont work so i must press it harder,any solution???
The biggest un-asked questions are, WILL THE STICKS GET STICK DRIFT? Do they have the new tech of magnetic 'holo sensors' seen in the kong controllers and the ayaneo 2? IF NOT, then it's just another set of mechanical switches that will inevitably fail you in the future. I don't care how pretty it looks if it will fail to do the most simple tasks it was intended for.
Got mine and I am a bit mixed on them. I had the hori split compact and enjoyed using them as they didn’t feel as bulky, however, I didn’t like that some button would get stuck, but I did like the joysticks and felt comfortable. The nyxi feel a little lighter than I expected and the build quality feels a bit cheap.. I do like the rgb lights and buttons feel okay. I do wish the xyba buttons had the letters in a different color or would also show the rgb lights. The sides do feel a bit wide, but I am going to try and get used to them. Overall, they seem great
Personally I prefer the use of the back paddles, to be able to dock easily and use a much slimmer case. And even if I didn’t then I’d probably get S&Co Good to have choices
Do these joycons Hyperion charge battery while they switch is Docked?? When the consoled is on Docked (while playing) I supose that yes, joycons charge, but what about the switch is Docked but it is on Standby?? Do these Hyperion joycons charge??
Personally waiting for joycons with electromagnetic thumbstick modules before getting aftermarket joycons. Until then I'll just use it docked with my 8bitdo controller.
Thanks for the review, I ordered because of your video. I received mine today but unfortunately the package was shipped without any protection inside. As a result, the joycon box was squashed and disformed when delivered. And I suppose as a result the right joycon is defective on arrival :/ the back button and joystick click on right joycon won't register. I suppose they are on CNY break now so I probably won't get any response from their support until end of Jan. It's really unfortunate because I like how the button clicks feel and overall shape. Just want to share my experience here, and hope I can get replacement or refund post CNY.
Feb.18.2023 Update: Received replacement today. Box is in much better shape this time (still a bit damaged on the corners). The new pair works fine except that the vibration motor on the right joycon is way too strong, I had to open it up and swap it with the one in the first pair. Also, the middle piece I got from both packages seems not manufactured correctly, it's very difficult to insert the right joycon, although not impossible (requires some force). Their customer support is responsive post holiday, and they offer full refund as option too. However, they say they can't assist funding or printing the shipping for mailing electronics with batteries, I have to pay the shipping cost, so I didn't choose this option.
How does the rumble feel? My personal pair of BinBok joy-cons rumble feels reeeeeeaaaally cheap. And playing something like Mario 3D World, there are occasional momments that the rumble starts and just keeps going for a rediculous amount of time. Lol Still comfy, the rumble is my only complaint (perhaps just need an update, not sure)
Me & Bro thinking getting this, we do like the binbok wire dock controller but their some games we have we think a traditional joycon be better to use for motion controls. Were thinking nyxi since heard good things about their joycons
I'd really love to see a comparison of these vs the officially licensed Hori pads, especially the build quality, particularly the D-pad. I know that the Hori doesn't come with wireless, rumble, and NFC support, but I'm leaning towards it because of the build quality (just basing it on my past experiences with their products as I've been using their pads since the SNES days.
the horipads have a better feel to them imo. they feel more comfortable in the hands, and feel less cheap. the nyxi have a plastic feeling, whereas the horipads have a bit of grip texture on the back of the split pads. (they both don't weigh much) . The buttons on the horipads feel better as well. I personally prefer the hori sticks as well, but i can see how some people would prefer the nyxi sticks. if it were not for the lack of motion control i would always take the horipads over the nyxi joypads. Only for games in which motion controls (and maybe rumble) are a big thing do the nyxi quite obviously beat the horipads. As they don't have those functions. That is not to say the nyxi are bad. they feel better than the official nintendo joycons (which i don't like). But the only reason why I would pick the nyxi over the hori split pads are cause of some missing features that hori split pads don't have.
@@koopalibrary thank you! I just got my Switch as a Christmas gift. Are there any games (other than Splatoon) that use those missing features? I absolutely need the directional buttons specifically for fighting games (which are my favorite genre) but would also want to play BotW once I'm done with Pokemon Scarlet. Does that game need motion controls?
How many directions do the joysticks have? I've noticed my binbok controllers only have 8 directions that make gameplay on Zelda or dark souls a nightmare while the original Nintendo joycons are much smoother and feel like have more directional inputs
Is there anyway to make the LED and mapping permanently set? If I don't use my switch for lime a few hours or a day l. It simply forgets Got these love them, traded in my Switch Pro Controler But I will say Nyxi Hypirion forgets my LED Color and Paddle Mapping if I don't use them for a more then a few hours. But I was using my Pro Controler and the Nyxi were docked.
So the remapable buttons can remap to each side? So the left side isn't stuck to the left side only then? Because I have been trying to find a part that works on both sides each. Where I can have right do anything from left and left can do anything for right for different needs for different games
No drift at all after a year. BUT I may have been lucky as all joycon (apart from the new Hyperion Pro which I made a video on recently) could suffer from drift
Oh no! Hope you get it worsted, mies been fine, in fact all of my Nexus have been OK so far with months of use. Keep emailing, they are pretty good at responding
any thought on reviewing the new Hyperion pro? Looks like the the big difference is new joystick that offers no drift, what is your experience in the drift with the Hyperion at this point some months later?
I have already got the new Pro and video will be live tomorrow!! Few changes with the pro over the Hyperion but having said that, not experienced any drift with the “non pro” Hyperion.
