Should You Buy A Nitro Deck? 

I play my switch mostly in handheld, which has caused my joy cons to disconnect from my switch even thought they’re still locked in place. The nitrodeck completely erases that problem it is a little bulky but honestly comfortable. I’m excited to use it even more now!

I got mine the other day. The reach between joystick and face buttons is a tad bit uncomfortable even with rather large hands. Besides that, I love it. The SNES scheme is beautiful

I wish the d-pad and right joystick were in more, with a staggard arrangement.

that kickstand sticking out from it's place killed my desire for the product. Plus, the sound of shoulder buttons.

So many handhelds and grip addons with loud ass buttons. The shoulder buttons are usually the worst. It makes it impossible to play with someone else in the room, especially at night. I wish the designers would pay more attention to the noise issue. Apart from the official Switch joycons the Miyoo Mini Plus, Anbernic RG353P, and Logitech G Cloud are the only ones I've found so far that are night-gaming friendly (and I've tried A LOT!)

I haven't been into the handheld trend lately because I got caught up with mini PCs. This video is a refreshing watch. Nice to see you again, B!

Got mine in the mail yesterday. If you have small-medium hands like me, this thing will be the most premium grip you've ever held. No other third party grip that ive tried comes close. The concerns about the right stick have been put to rest for me. Its plenty comfortable where it is. Could it be higher? Sure. But as it is its no problem.

The Gamcube deco I could take or leave. But I do like the idea of the bottom bar connecting the sides, my joycon rails are a bit loose and it makes the whole console feel wobbly.

I'm definitely gonna need to pick up one of these. I play mostly in handheld mode, so this looks real nice

Thank you for the review my good sir! We hope you get some quality use of your Deck! 👊

That's pretty dope. I was at Best Buy last night looking at the switch. Might get a lite over the Logitech (a little pricey) but this set up right here is awesome to me.

Seems pretty cool. Been keeping up with it these past few weeks but the loudness of the buttons is actually very off putting.

Beautiful grip. This was a easy preorder at the reveal for me. Can’t wait to get it! Got me excited for collecting physical Switch games again.

Those triggers are way too loud....I'd go nuts.

Has it go with scratching the back? I have the Zelda switch so not sure if I should get it

Can't wait to get mine!

Is it for the regular or oled. if its for both does the oled stick out or does the origional not fill the nitro, or do they have two sizes for both?

The black option is so sleeeeeeeeeek!! Definitely interested in this!!

Definitely want one of these. Anything GameCube related is usually an instant buy for me but not sure about the price point on these.

I believe you had to really press the kickstand down in able to make it flush with the Deck again. Simply tapping it won't do the trick.

Controller grip case is a cool idea, but quality does not look anywhere near good.

Preordered my mint version last week from Argos. Looks insanely good. Fingers crossed it delivers the goods. I'm optimistic! Keep up the great work too 👍

@5:42 not gonna lie you said it well and also my heart murmurmed a little lol

I have the same one and I love it. I actually like the Joy-Cons but both pairs I had some kind of defect after a while.

Im getting the black one this thing is sick. The black one is amazing!

I've watched another video and he said that the holder left some scratches at the back of his switch. If i'm gonna use that maybe i'll put some non slip band or something thin and smooth that don't make a direct contact on the back of my switch.

Tempting but it doesnt look like €100+ value even with the hall-effect sticks

7:44 gahh!! did you really put it outside on the wet ground in the rain? 😆

I got the nitro deck on Amazon just to try out and if I didn’t like it I would just return it, I honestly love it, I couldnt put it down and I have a modded switch OLED so I’ve been playing Xbox cloud gaming and it just plays great with it

First video I'm watching of you, love your OCD, I'd be the exact same (still getting the Nitro Deck) PS: Comment about partner complaining about shoulder button sounds - yeah, that's us exactly :D

can you bind +/- to the back buttons

This seems like a cool product, I don't like that you have to touch the screen in order to get the switch out of the nitro deck . Means a screen clean is required after every removal

Did you ever get that kickstand back in properly?

They need to bring back cartridges I miss that sound

I NEVER pre-order anything, but this was an easy pre-order. I ordered the black AND white grips

That slide down was mad satisfying

3:16 That spring ping was horrible Would be tempted to open it to fix/lube that mechanical keyboard style. Would help with that rattle as well

That thing looks really awesome I don't need it though but I do love everything about it Nintendo switch OLED would look really good with this

I bought a nitro deck but they never sent me my shipment and they blamed it on the shipping company lol still haven’t gotten my purchase. Edit: it just came in lol

Got mine yesterday the kick stand stays in so it might just be yours

This looks cool, i wish they released it like 3 years ago plus i got my gengar controlers already so i dont realy need it

does it support gyro?

Great video man

Looks pretty sweet!!

It looks amazing, but the loud ass buttons are a huge turn off for me

Yes. The answer is yes. One of the best controllers I have ever gotten. Ordering another one asap.

That looks fire 🔥

I'm getting it, but one without the case. Been annoyed by switch ergonomics a lot lately especially after getting used to Steam Deck's

I canceled my limited run one. I got a nexigo gripcon and its literally the same thing basically without the cool colors but does have rgb lights if u care about that 😂

Looks intriguing to have

I am buying this. Thanks for an amazing review

Like your honesty. That button isn't a massive issue but for the problem you highlight mean I might be keeping somebody awake at night... Thank you

I got the Super NES version. Looking forward to it!

Is it hadukenable?

Would the removal of the OLED switch wear out the back side of Special Edition TOTK or the screen itself with time? Read this as a potential hazard on some comments

I believe it’s worth it for me because I travel for work.

I just bought one waited until I could get the full package for $50 downloaded V2 firmware. They must have improved the latest batch I was impressed with the quality no issues with construction I'm really liking mine no complaints huge improvement over using a grip and Joycons. Nothing low quality imo.

Good lord the sound of the Switch sliding in was satisfying

Amazed Nintendo hasn't made something like this already

There’s some great ideas which look inspired by the steam deck, but it does look (and sound) quite cheap. The kick stand is utterly bizarre - why would you connect another controller to it when the system has a kick stand?

Does the pre-order have a deadline? I'm really thinking about pre-order one, judging by the video, it's worth every penny of it.

this looks awesome. just wish it had some kind of passthrough charging though.

Does the nitro deck feel good while gaming? Looks dope

I modified my RetroFlag controller with Xbox thumb sticks and I removed the sharp metal pieces that scratch the rails

This might sound dumb, but i want one that looks like a wiiu gamepad

Does every nitro deck come with a carrying case?

Should have held that kickstand in with a magnet. Also a telescopic kickstand would solve that angle issue.

does it have the joycondrift issue ?

I got a red one and I like it quite a bit

This one looks right!

GC style price is iffy But i ordered the black one so it having more features than the retroflag one is worth a bit more

How does compare to the Retroflag? Which do you prefer?

Products like these are great (and personally almost necessary for a switch because I hate using the Switch/Joycons in handheld mode). I really don't like how the Purple/Mint versions are 30 quid more than the Black/White ones though, a 50% price hike (at Argos at least) for a colourway seems like a cynical nostalgia-tax for me

I just wish Nintendo would make something like this that feels exactly like the Pro Controller.

I always wanted a grip I can tactical reload

I hate to say this but I kinda regret mine. The triggers are way to mushy and I don’t like that feel of it.

Was gonna get one, but when I couldnt get Atomic Purple I just gave up. I messaged them if there was a restock anytime soon but nothing so far. The other colors are ok but I really wanted that Atomic Purple. Even if the restock happened, I think getting more invested for my Switch Oled when the Switch 2 is supposedly hitting next year, I think I will just wait to spend for accessories for that. I really liked what the Nitro Deck is doing for the Switch but I want to see what next year holds, I'm cool with Switch Oled as it is.

What was the power cable for ? To charge while playing I suppose ...it's kinda bulky but they realized that and gave ya a strap . I do like they included additional thumbstick pads and the case is ok . Holds way more physical titles then I own or plan on owning and it carries the device . Hate the color .

Hej czy posiada wybudzanie konsoli przyciskiem z nitro deck?

im a steam deck and pc gamer but if i had a switch i would definitely get this it makes the switch look better imo and it probably feels much more comfortable to play with this rather than the joycons

I’ve programmed the back buttons to L and R in case i wanna be stealthy

I've been looking at this, I'm sold, Amazon here I come

I like it 😁👍

Yeah I think you got a faulty one because that kickstand isn't suppose to be like that. At all.

Worth buying to someone who already owns a RetroFlag grip?

Beautiful grip, but the fact it drains the already kinda short battery life of the switch even faster makes it a no-buy from me

Those shoulder buttons sound so cheap like from a Binbok or Doby controller. The kickstand that doesn't even lock properly just screams cheap. They are marketing this as a premium accessory with a stupid 'collectible' NFC feature. Reminds me of the Souja Boy handheld, which is just a rebranded Chinese, cheap handheld.

buttons so loud that it feels like there's a speaker just for that

lol the IGN guy apparently had an issue removing his switch from the Deck but yours seems fine.

4:00 ight imma head out

I’m going to nitpick just a bit. If they were trying to replicate the GameCube controller, the yellow right stick should have actually been the grey left stick instead. It’s a tiny nitpick but it does bother me slightly.

When I think GameCube controller I tend to think button configuration, not so much the color scheme.

This is okay looks really good I love the look but man I can get a cheaper handheld that's better at everything unless you jailbreak switch I think its useless and this is coming from a guy that was super excited for the release of the switch when I tried it I knew it was useless to what it advertised maybe if you're a kid it's good but I'd rather save up for a steam deck makes so much more sense. For a oled switch it's still like 250 or more it cost more than a ps4 pro after ps5 release and then you have to pay for some games that are 50 each or some even cost more limited free games you have to pay to play old games in a subscription. With the steam deck I can play like pretty much most of the good switch games and all the retro games free and pc games even heard people playing ps3 and to add to it you can legit buy a retro cover that looks like the GC or even other like N64 and Saga

I wanted this when I saw the promotions a few months back. But I'm glad I didn't have the patience to wait. I just got my Retroflag and I like it a lot better after watching this video.

does is scratch the back of the switch, I have the Zelda special edition and don't wanna scratch the design

Very cool design. Too noisy for me, but its looks really good

But can we get actual GameCube games on Switch though?…

This review is hilarious. Your OCD was setting off my OCD on the back stand. And the "ooooh, click it in" is pretty funny. Laughing the whole time how you were impressed and annoyed at the same time. Great job!

Am I the only one who thinks it misses the mark on the GameCube look? The texture on the left analog stick should look like what’s on the right one, and then the right one should have a smaller cap and a little C on it… and then the face buttons don’t feel like the right color, and they’re weirdly glossy

This review convinced me not to buy this. I like the details you go over like the clicky loud buttons and the flimsy kickstand. The next version for the Switch 2 will probably nail it though.
