MobaPad M6 HD Controller Review-New Best Joycons!

[@cnsrapp]

So glad you did these. I’ve had mine for a couple of months and love them.

[@kizanko]

Are the trigger buttons as comfy as the pro controller? Or are they clicky and not so comfortable?

[@ThatGuyDrew7]

EXCELLENT REVIEW! I got the cheaper m6s which is the same without the HD vibration and this is by far the best joycons i have. The circular dpad just feels really good and I really hope they release other colors.

[@jamerv777smerf]

Spray paint🗣📣or stickers I was gonna do stickers like I put on my laptop lol

[@s3goku4]

I had a feeling these would be amazing...I just can't justify buying another pair of joycons. Thanks for the review!

[@GrayWolfSif9451]

Im in the same boat at this point we are all better off waiting for the new system instead of dropping $100 on new joy cons. The stock with a good grip is good enough. I also half the hori split pad pro and while yes it sucks not to have all the features the original have some games don’t require the rumble and what not like story rpg games.

[@iMind-Juris]

Similar dilemma here. Currently I have a Switch Lite and a Switch OLED (I've actually had to buy a second OLED after my first was lost/stolen), so that's a lot of money spent already. On top of that, I have an 8BitDo SN30Pro+, an 8BitDo Pro2, and a pair of Nyxi Hyperion Joy Cons. That's about $130 on controllers alone, and $560 ($910) on the current generation of consoles. If the next generation (whenever it's finally announced) doesn't use the same joy con connection and/or releases with hall effect joy cons, I won't really need two sets of large joy cons for my OLED alone and I'd have wasted $80 getting these (even though I really want a hall effect set of joy cons with turbo and mappable back buttons right now 😅).

[@Diabl0pl]

to be honest - they're not just another pair of joycons to me. They're THE joycons. The quality, features and ergonomics are unparalleled. :) I've had switch lying in its case for years, but now that I got these joycons I can't put it down.

[@alexmunoz7134]

I just bought them yesterday and they’ve already shipped. The price has been the same for a few months. I have been keeping an eye on them. There is another KZbinr, 128kb that did the first review a few months ago I think and I’m so hyped!

[@caetanodantas4880]

I am waiting mine to get shipped! So excited! Are you liking yours?

[@JohnnyTrech]

The sticks on the crkd + r amazing and it fits with Xbox kontrolfreeks. I put Lotus Teal on them with that purple module. Looks great. I put the eclipse on the joy cons. Made a huge difference still the sticks on joy cons suck. Put a purple precision ring and made a huge difference…..i haven’t put a ring on the crkd + but to me it has great tension. I love the Hall effect triggers too….and I love the sidekick buttons. Just ordered a black pair, Hall effect and same ALPS HD rumble as joy cons, but the micro switches I can’t wait. Kontrolfreeks for any system work? I also got universal slip ons for joy cons and pro controller. Also kontrolfreeks came out with splash grips for joy cons I got orange purple hoping if it doesn’t fit on M6 HD, I’ll use them on my orange purple joy cons. What do u recommend. Does the mobapad m6 need a precision ring and will kontrolfreeks work on them, joy con Xbox or ps5. Thnx Kevin!

[@DungarooTV]

Do they work as individual joycons for multiplayer use on the go?

[@joshs2235]

Hey Kevin I have the M6 Gemini (the ones you referenced at 1:55) and I'm wondering a couple of things: 1) what do you not like about the old ones 2) are the M6 HD Gemini's a huge improvement in comfort? Having the ability to use them wireless would be nice but if I'm playing on the go I pretty much always keep them attached anyway. Also the HD rumble would be cool but there are so few Switch games that properly support HD rumble that it's not a huge selling point to me. Thanks!

[@PJNyte]

If you like the old ones & they have no issues, then i feel like you don't need to upgrade. If you want to upgrade & don't care for color or hd rumble but want hall effect and more grip then the $40 pastel ones are for you

[@joshs2235]

@@PJNyte Thanks for the helpful response! Really the biggest issue I have with the old ones is the dpad, it's just pretty mushy and not great for platformers, and my Switch is my indie machine so if the Dpad is much nicer on the M6S/ M6HD then that might be reason enough to upgrade

[@TheUndersigned]

I'm broke and basic so i'm running the Hori Split Pad Pro on Switch and a wired 8bitdo Ultimate with a Pro 2 as a backup on the PC because I can't do mouse and keyboard anymore because Warframe gave me the carpal tunnel years ago. All of these were bought on pretty significant discount. The Ultimate's having firmware troubles and I have to keep reflashing it to 1.3 beta 2.

[@fanbotbob64]

Truly the best out there! I've been using them for three months and I love them. The only problem I have is the stick caps yellow a bit, but that's not a huge deal.

[@prestonsmith3137]

Are there any joycons that have analog triggers that work with Trials Rising? I heard the switch doesn't support analog triggers natively but a GameCube adapter works to use analog but that's not a portable solution I want

[@Laladoinks]

I'm using this right now, it is a very good joycon replacement minus the IR sensor. The only problem on my unit is my left side is very stiff to slide into the tablet. I had to use a sandpaper to trim down the plastic rail a little and apply some candle wax and now it's smooth.

[@Swankensteiner]

These rapidly drain the life of my Switch in sleep mode.

[@alextackett8631]

You like these better than the hyperion pro? Cus I just ordered them from Amazon but if these are a lot better I'll return them and get the mobapad. Im new to the switch, primarily an Xbox gamer, but I liked the portability of the switch so I got an OLED a couple weeks ago but it was making my hands cramp so I ordered the nyxi. Basically; do you think the mobapad is so much better that it's worth sending the nyxi back to Amazon or should I just keep what I got? Thanks

[@silkydude]

100% get your refund and get the mobapad. None of the nyxi compare The HD version is a dream. Makes the switch feel like a different console

[@jamerv777smerf]

​@silkydude different console👀nuff said😤. My homie tryna convince me to get steam deck and neglect my switch😂😭. Been trying to find a way to play it more cuz I'm usually on Xbox.

[@azure8285]

How does the input lag compare to the original Joycons?

[@Chronoless]

Can you add a middle attachment to use it as a controller as well? I haven't seen any reviews stating if this is possible or not?

[@XavierHyena]

It fits the Joy-Con grip that comes with your Switch or the charging Joy-Con grip sold by Nintendo if you remove the handles on the back. You need "tri-point Y00" (Y) and "Phillips #00" (+) screwdrivers to do that. Not sure about those sizes but it's definitely (Y) shape and (+) shape ones.

[@hetul784]

how does the HD rumble compare to joycons?

[@joshuasavoy7443]

Are these ever on sale at Amazon, bestbuy or Walmart?

[@pierrealbert949]

I just received the m6hd in black, great controller but much too noisy, the buttons are very clicky. Do you have any advice on a silent equivalent?

[@andyt.80]

The D-Pad on the NYXI Hyperion sucks with Streetfighter. Are these better?

[@ministerjlupine]

[EDIT] 10,000,000+ button click lifetime. Just for the record. Great video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Thanks for that!

[@big_guyhhh]

Does that last a long time

[@ministerjlupine]

@big_guyhhh I think it's roughly three-ish years of constant button pressing, I'd say that's long enough to last that generation of console... that's just the manufacturer guarantee. (That the buttons under normal circumstances will last AT LEAST that long.) Although, I'd imagine they'll last for years and years and then some if one takes good care of the controllers.

[@XavierHyena]

According to the website the Omron switches are rated for 10,000,000+ presses. You're saying they're 1000x worse than that. You should edit your comment.

[@ministerjlupine]

@@XavierHyena Numbers and stuff, LoL! My apologies.

[@SirBrucie]

hey GH can you test the Nitro Deck for the nintendo switch? its a big chungus controller that the switch slides into.

[@gabrielhofman6712]

People who have these joy-cons on the Switch OLED, any tips? Do they fit well in the rails, or do they feel loose, like they're "wobbly"? I recently bought a LinYuvo and returned it because the fit was loose, very different from the original joy-cons that fit perfectly, like a single piece. Thanks, everyone!

[@XavierHyena]

Don't have them yet but many people say the opposite. Supposedly the rails feel _really_ tight with M6 HDs. Some people even file the plastic with sandpaper so it's easier to attach/remove. Nintendo's Joy-Cons get loose with use over time. My partner rarely uses his Switch and the Joy-Cons fit pretty good. Mine were really loose until I replaced the Joy-Con rails recently.

[@gabrielhofman6712]

@@XavierHyena Thank you so much for the detailed response! I really appreciate it

[@Jei013]

I recently bought the M6 HD and found an issue where in some games like Hyper Light Drifter the HD rumble will continuously rumble while connected and only stop on loading screens, or if I disconnect them from the Switch itself and then they will work properly. I also read on a thread that on the N64 app as soon as you run a game the rumble will also run continuously, which I tested and found the same fault. I also read somewhere that Yoshis Crafted World has the same issue but I don't have the game to be able to test it. Has anyone else found this issue?

[@ShadowVenom86]

Same case here, we will need to turn off rumble before playing those games

[@Jei013]

@@ShadowVenom86 Good to know someone else recognizes the issue. I wish it wasn't so because I love HD rumble and it was the main reason I bought the controller. The M6S has nicer colors and doesn't have the issue, but the rumble is not HD.

[@farstranger69]

Pretty sure another source said this was fixed with updating the controller firmware! Waiting for mine to be delivered

[@Jei013]

@farstranger69 I have updated the controller pretty recently and it didn't fix it, but will verify.

[@Jei013]

@farstranger69 Verified the update and I'm on firmware 1.16 and the issue persists.

[@Fpsnut]

Where would I find a middle piece to use these as a stand alone controller? Like NYXI? This is the negative thing that you didn't mention. For supposedly $150 controller, it's bs that they don't include it.

[@glabben]

You can get them for 70$ now. Also, NYXI bridges are sold separately and they work fine with Mobapad Joycons

[@XavierHyena]

They will fit a Nintendo Joy-Con grip (comes with the Switch) but you need to remove the handles with (Y) and (+) screwdrivers.

[@openheartedwarrior2971]

Does these mobapad wiggle alot when attached to the oled?

[@Fpsnut]

I just received mine and they're ridiculously tight when sliding on. Extremely sturdy. Takes two hands to slide them off.

[@jamerv777smerf]

​@@Fpsnutlol that honestly sounds like a problem in long run, damn😭

[@ImInTheMaking]

Will this still work for Ring Fit Adventure or Fitness Boxing?

[@tonywolchuck9707]

They also have a 17 hour battery play on them.

[@jamerv777smerf]

Great battery life fr fr🔥

[@markwilliamson3043]

i've heard in dock mode that the latency is pretty bad. they even mention it on their website in replying to reviews.

[@captainthunderbolt7541]

These look beautiful!

[@OttoBot22]

Anyone know of a bridge for the controllers I can use while switch is docked? Bought the nyxi one and it doesn’t fit right.

[@XavierHyena]

Fits the Nintendo grip if you remove the handles first.

[@prplaya911]

I will order today. Does anyone have a discount code?

[@fpvpilot7713]

Dark grey with black sticks and buttons would be nice.

[@jamerv777smerf]

Ngl I'm gonna get them eventually but at one point i did feel like the price was high lol considering how old he switch is i mean i had mine since the beginning. They must trying to say like this thing makes switch feel like a different steam hand held PC thing

[@minifiggalorestore1520]

Didn’t show you connecting them to the switch. Are they recognized as joycons? So will they work for games like super Mario party and switch sports?

[@XavierHyena]

Switch Sports tries to update the controllers every time you start it. The update obviously fails but the game works fine after that.

[@jamerv777smerf]

Can anyone justify Mobapad M6 HD rumble versus the rumble in the m6 s? Lol that's a $30 price gap for a "premium " version of high definition vibration?? Lol honestly, is that worth it? Can't be😭🏁

[@XavierHyena]

Different button switches too. $30 upgrade for Omron switches and ALPS actuators (HD rumble). Instead of a spinning weight "HD rumble" is like a narrow-range speaker. A few games require it for gameplay. In many games it's optional but you'll notice the difference. Other games use simple vibrations but it's still more responsive and sensitive than a rotor. Supposedly M6 HD's rumble is stronger than real Joy-Cons. Everything else is identical between M6 S/HD, even the magnetic sticks. Most 3rd party controllers don't have actuators. Some have no vibration.

[@jamerv777smerf]

@XavierHyena plan on buying the black hd ones but waiting to see if the switch 2 will support 3rd party joy cons🤞

[@john0416]

What case u using with that?

[@TrainerLeosPokemon]

Do they ship from china?

[@XavierHyena]

They have a warehouse in US. They might use that for nearby countries but IDK. Otherwise it ships from China.

[@jamerv777smerf]

Lmao omggg spray painting it is genius and honestly I believe just secured my purchase Bruh🤣😭ngl I liked them but was hearing about discoloration over time. Was gonna see if they were making different face plates. But spraying it yourself is so much easier and faster. 🔥🔥🔥

[@jamerv777smerf]

One of my coworkers at work gotta oled steam deck he lemme hold it and shxt. Bro lol that thing feels powerful and premium af. They must trying to say like this joy con makes the switch feel mature and premium. That's the vibe I've been getting from the reviews cuz like we're all veteran gamers and well the switch out dated🤷🏽

[@XavierHyena]

The Switch was outdated before its release, powered by the Nvidia Shield's Tegra chip. Just like how the Wii had a cheap AMD chip. Nintendo has a habit of using weak hardware for new consoles. The "Switch 2" will likely be running a GPU that's at least 2 years old when it arrives.

[@cletus223]

I have the Doyoki RGB Wireless Controller (they're joycons but I assume "joycon" is a copyrighted term) and they work well enough. They're comfortable but the d-pad isn't that great. I bought the Nyxi Hyperion joycons but they started disconnecting periodically then they got stick drift, specifically it would register movement on the left stick without touching, which was the most infuriating part as I'd bought them after getting stick drift twice on my Nintendo joycons. The first time replacing the stick worked but the second time was a problem with the board so I had to get a new pair. I've had controllers with joysticks for almost thirty years and never had any problems with stick drift until I got a Switch in 2021. Is there some contractual requirement from Nintendo that any controller built for the Switch has to have the crappiest joysticks imaginable?

[@alfredoalbert7032]

Is impossible to remove the cross Dpad with the hand because there is only one notch on one side and is incredibly hard to pull off. Awful.

[@sweedishpie360]

Hey! Do these work on android?

[@KarrarAlkinnani]

im wating for the aimcontroller with hall effect

[@yarbles66]

I've been championing the original M6/M9 (same thing) & this is a nice but fairly small update - this is a 25% better update; looks better, nicer finish with a more matte than glossy than the OG. I have XL hands & initially I didn't like the extended grips being shortened - but once I changed my grip from less of a 'gun' grip to a grip whereby I was resting the round corners into my palms, I was very happy. This is a generation you could skip if you have the original M6/M9, but if you want a nice little upgrade & you're not tight on cash... Id say yeah go for it - Mobapad just beat Mobapad to the crown of the new king of Switch Joycons.
