[@MarkLangdahl]

A little note after a few months of use. Be very careful with them when you travel. I bought them with a protective case where it fits. And I accidentally dropped it out of a bag (probably a 50 cm drop) while they were attached and now they constantly disconnect while using them. They still work as a reasonable pro controller replacement. But if you buy them and travel with them ALWAYS keep them disconnected when travelling so you don't risk connection issues.

[@1mdatmonke]

thx for the advice, i’m interested in potentially buying the controller

[@CTAtechdesk]

Note to self “don’t drop them”. Good advice 👍🏻

[@ppbunt]

I ordered the black Hyperions last month ( nine days EU delivery), I'm pretty happy with them. Not a huge fan of clicky buttons (L and R mainly), but that's just something I will have to get used to. Massive improvement over the Nintendo JoyCons anyway!

[@actualtrashpile]

Hey, were you by any chance directed to a sketchy package tracker by your order? I’m curious if I’m just too skeptical.

[@ppbunt]

@@actualtrashpile I was, but it seemed to work ok-ish

[@actualtrashpile]

@@ppbunt Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll keep that in mind. Much appreciated for a little bit of info.

The 9 day delivery, is that the premium delivery option or the free delivery option? Just ordered something from them a couple days ago and want to get an idea of how quick their delivery services are.

[@hullyk2039]

Nintendo was very smart or lucky that they made modular controllers!

[@Coleecool]

what does modular mean?🤔

[@wrth]

​@@Coleecoolprobably means that you can remove the controllers from the console unlike Steam Deck where it is fixed

[@pifandrei5743]

The name is self explanatory. Modular , as in made with or by modules. Module 1, module 2 ,and so on. Like lg g5 was .First modular phone. Had one .

[@zuko3586]

Hi! I had a question because i can't decide between the hyperion or athena. Main concern is grip or comfort. The design in the new hyperion has a bit of a cut so that you can stand it. The athena is more rounded. Do you notice a difference in comfort due to this new design?

[@treasures_untold_vlogs]

Just found you and I love your videos and Subscribed! But I went to order the Black ones with your discount code and these are all sold out now! 😢

[@CTAtechdesk]

Yeah, these are quite popular. I think they’ll be back soon. Worth waiting for. Cheers 👍🏻

[@nicolainvernizzi581]

Can you use them on steam ? I can't make them work on my pc. Where can I update the firmware (pc) ?

[@blaynewurdinger6421]

How do these fit in the big satisfye case? Your other review of the Athena joy cons said these were a tiny bit wider and I just ordered the case

[@CTAtechdesk]

It’s not a great for especially as the satisfye case is moulded to the grip.

[@dickyo6952]

These things makes gaming on the switch so much better and amazing. Cant play without anymore

[@Coleecool]

These seem like great pro-controller alternatives. I just wonder how good they are individuallt as controllers.

[@juanpecan7089]

Someone on reddit said the transparent ones are newer and have updated tech - is that true? The LED light setup is different so maybe they're like a v1.5?

[@CTAtechdesk]

The only difference I can tell is literally the lights. The rest you’d be hard pushed to tell unless under a microscope next to each other. I’m waiting for the HE versions.

[@DarkLink1996.]

[@theevildude666]

Are those compareable to skull and co grips comfortwise? I love my skull and co grips but dont like the standard joy cons that much

[@CTAtechdesk]

Both are very comfy but feel these have more uses.

[@theevildude666]

@@CTAtechdesk thank you for the quick response, amazing. In germany the Hyperion are over 70 Euro, the Athena, Gen 1 60 Euro or below, are the Hyperion worth the extra? thx in advance

[@RaySchrantz]

Are they a hard matte/smooth cheap plasticy feel or are they somewhat soft touch?

[@jeanvictorhajjar]

The quality is surprisingly very good, not sure if you ever owned a Nyxi pair (maybe the Athenas) but these are far superior than the older models. It is a matte material (for the black ones) whites I'm not sure as I don't own a pair

[@jeanvictorhajjar]

Update: I just got the white ones and can confirm same material as the black. Only thing is that the LED colour always reverts back to the red if you don't use your switch for more than a few hours. It happened with the black ones also

[@Aku-no7wz]

Would like to order one but I'm also thinking maybe they'll release ones with HE. Do you have any prediction when will it be?

[@CTAtechdesk]

I’d like to think so but I have no idea if they are or not.

have the same issue, right control rail is too tight

[@CTAtechdesk]

Started off a bit stiff but it’s ok now. Tbf was never really “too tight”.

[@8bitsamurai6]

Yea they are cheap plastic and hesrd not nesr as smooth. To cheap for me for the 60 price tag. Ill rather referb some joycons and dpad shell swap.

[@sergio_x2487]

Very nice comparison. Which is better for handheld gaming NYXI Hyperion or Skull & Co Evo? Charging via dock and maybe playing docked from time to time.

[@CTAtechdesk]

They are both excellent. I tend to use the Nyxi more.

[@eragons1894]

I've had the black ones for a few months now, and while they do feel pretty nice, and i still prefer them over joycons, i do have a few nitpicks to say about them. The RGB lights reset back to default color (red) after a while, so each time you have to manually change them back to your preferred color. The rumble is honestly a nuisance. I knew it wouldn't be the HD rumble like in joycons while ordering Hyperions, but come on. The rumble is REALLY loud, and it's really inconsistent. The left joycon has a much weaker rumble than the right one, to the point, where even if i set the left joycon to the strongest vibration setting, and the right one to the weakest, the right one still has a stronger rumble (although it may just be the case in my joycons). Besides that, the back buttons don't really uh... "unclick" if you know what i mean. Whenever i press them, they kind of just stay there. They don't get stuck, but it still feels a bit weird. One of my biggest issues with Hyperions is the connectivity issues. Sometimes if i play on my Switch in wireless mode and go AFK for 5 minutes or more, the Hyperions just disconnect while i'm gone, and sometimes they refuse to connect wirelessly to console again, so i have to connect them back to my Switch and take them out when they're connected in order for them to work again. Aaaand my last issue is that... well... they just feel too light. Don't get me wrong, Hyperions feel pretty nice when i play on a handheld mode, because the weight of the Switch itself balances it out, but while playing in wireless mode with them, they just straight up feel cheap and hollow, because they have pretty much no weight on them.

[@rakibshahid7913]

Same gripes here in terms of the back button, rumble quality, and how light they are. Though my pair have the same vibration level on each, that's probably just an unfortunate issue for your pair.

[@anhonestreviewer7015]

Better that they’re lighter as that makes a difference when playing handheld - which is what most people will use them for. Any extra weight, when playing handheld, will lead to faster hand and wrist fatigue.

[@rakibshahid7913]

@@anhonestreviewer7015 Good point, didn't think of that as I usually rest my arms on a table, but my gripes with the buttons still stands.

[@CD480]

Another complaint, the left one is "wobbly", not nice and snug like the right on when mounted to the switch or bridge.

[@eragons1894]

@@CD480 Oh yea, i've noticed that as well after using Hyperions more. It's not too much of a nuisance, but yeah, the left one definitely feels more loose than the other one.
