[@michaelcalvillo2268]

So glad I went with Skull & Co, mostly for it's versatility. I have had no problems docking it for the fact that I don't even use the factory dock. I purchased dock kit that allows you to take the internals of the factory dock and put them in the new dock so that the switch just sits right on top of it.

[@marcusgiovanni1783]

Does the Satisfye work for that

[@aperaine]

@@marcusgiovanni1783I doubt it, because of the things at the bottom

[@Grindhead_Jim]

You just saved me at least $20 USD. I've been binging your videos all morning, and, as a newly-minted OLED Switch owner, I wanted to measure twice and cut once with all accessories. Skull & Co. ALL THE WAY for me. Thanks, mate, truly. Earned my sub.

[@InnerRise]

I just dont want grip pieces off and on. I want a solid constructed undetachable product I've never used a grip with my regular switch and just got an OLED and was just juggling with the idea

[@dmcgamingclan]

Skull & Co for me. The Satisfye shipping to the UK is just way too much.

[@MrSnapshot]

Hell I’m in the US and it’s still too high for such a slow rate of shipping.

[@davidholm1194]

I ordered a Skull & Co I have had some REALLY bad experience with Satisfye, after months of waiting for my grip and multiple promised delivery dates I cut the cord with Satisfye. Skull & Co has better color options and I'm a big fan of modular systems. Thanks for the break down!

[@ZeroAlligator]

Been waiting 3 months for mine… they have a creative interpretation of “all orders ship within 24 hours.” Garbage company.

[@nickwilliams7755]

A year late, but I feel the same way about Satisfye. I bought a grip from them, took 2 weeks to ship, it got lost in transit. They basically just said screw you, file a claim with the shipping company. I'll never do business with a company with policies like that.

[@rimofheaven]

What makes me favor the Satisfy grip is the build and the quality. Especially the fact that the build protects my joy cons from the stress my own hands and fingers would otherwise place on them. It supports the console and controllers perfectly. Finally, I don't like any moving parts because they inevitably wear out. Thank you for your great video.

[@JonTheJotter]

Thank you for making choosing a grip easy! I just fell back in love with playing my switch in hand held mode and a grip is needed!

[@RestlessGambler14]

Thx. The Neogrip bundle with your discount was $43 while the Satisfye bundle was $79. No brainer for me, plus I want to try the different variation of grips. Only thing better Satisfye had to offer was free expedited shipping.

[@itsChanandler]

For skull & co - You can also combine the medium and large grips for a more asymmetrical set up since the joy sticks on the joycons are placed on different places.

[@PochisMovies]

And they’re affordable. Satisfye has spiked their prices by $20

[@peen2804]

He literally says in the vid you can use different size grips for a more asymmetrical setup lol

[@angelvelez463]

I switched the right grip to the largest grip on my Skull and Co and it is more comfortable. Thank you for the tip. You just made my hand held gaming experience much better.

[@ChoKeller]

Skull & Co is the I’ll be purchasing. The versatility is absolutely the reason, especially being able to dock it. That’s a feature I’m looking for.

[@simongorelik92]

i was literally wishing for a video just like this thankyou! love your channel

[@gaymrblog]

I have both grips, and so far I prefer the Satisfye. Both are very serviceable, but the grip attachments feel a bit delicate. A few of mine even have some give on them, so that isn't the best. That said, it still works fine, but I decided that I wanted to give the Satisfye a try now that it was in stock. Back when I went with the Skullnco grip Satisfye was fulfilling orders directly from Hong Kong and was charging crazy shipping rates. I found the Satisfye grip to be heavier, and more solid. I got the slim case which also was nice since it fits in my smaller backpack a lot easier.

[@troigrl]

Neogrip!! I hate the tabs or stand on the Satifye, making the switch sit upright. You can’t adjust the angle. Also it feels so much better taking up so much space. I guess if you have huge hands you might love it. I think Neogrip has great build quality

[@alessio081]

Just got my OLED today and I'll definitely get the NeoGrip from Skull & Co for the absolute versatility!

[@visscubasteve1316]

Versatility didn’t make sense to me because the reason you would have the grip on is so it’s more comfortable, taking off the grip part of the s&c is basically just taking the sat grip off and playing normal. And Ana Edith the kickstand, you don’t need access to the kickstand if your playing handheld which is why you have the grip on. It would make send to throw a grip on to play tabletop mode. Same applies for docking it. I think sat is a winner for sure

[@jettnerona]

I just ordered Neogrip in NGC orange together with 8bitdo ultimate Bluetooth controller and got both for only $50 shipped! ❤❤❤

[@Captmorgann]

I own both and I have to give it to the Satisfye grip. The build feel's so much better. I love the look and colour of the neogrip but it just feels cheap and I don't know if its only mine but it fits sloppy on my switch. Both are decent and it really comes down to what works best for you at the end of the day.

[@matthewbitter532]

Do you have the switch oled or the regular switch? I wanna know how the satisye fits on the regular switch since it’s more built for the oled size. Is it still a tight fit? Does it work with skins or thin protective cases for added protection?

[@Captmorgann]

@@matthewbitter532 I have the Oled model. As the the satisfye grip there is a model that fits on the normal switch and I would assume it's a tight fight just like on the oled model.

[@cocoa_baby]

If you have the means, I'd say definitely get both. Satisfye is a better build obviously. But for travel, that skull & co edc case is the best. I can stash larger grips almost anywhere in my bag to swap out

[@esteban602]

I have the Neogrip for the same reason, I do wish the build quality is bit better on the exchangeable grips, like add something you can grip better like silicone.

[@taejaskudva2543]

I like my Satisfye grip. To be fair, though, while I did do "research" by watching video, it's not like I ever did an in hand comparison. On the other hand, I've never been unhappy about the purchase. I'm not really fussed about leaving the grip in the slim case when it's docked, and inserting and removing it for one off sessions. But if you know you'd be annoyed by that or don't mostly use it docked, or would want to be able to use the kickstand, it's not for you. Comfort in hand and build quality were my most important criteria.

[@baldino9165]

bought a neogrip after using satisfye gen 1 for years. (Had to throwaway my satisfye after the rubber grips started smudging black stuff on my hands. Probably due to years of heavy use and throwing it into my backpack with no carrying case) The satisfye is much more premium and it feels like one solid unit when attached to the switch. The neogrip ergonomics is probably a good cheap alternative to satisfye which costs 2 to 3 times more. I recommend satisfye if you have money to burn. Neogrip if you have small hands.

[@cocoa_baby]

Agreed. Skull & co ftw. Cheaper and more versatile. I love my edc case

[@kassance8033]

I've been looking for a video comparing these so I'm so glad you did this! i have the satisfye for my lite but I think I'm going to get the neo grip for my OLED when I get it because I will be switching between handheld and docked play quite a lot

[@stevesquick92]

I have heard reports of the screws on the skull and co backing out and marring the back of the switch. Anyone have any first hand experience with this? I’ve been curious about the grip as I’ve only used the Satisfye grips for both my launch and OLED switch. Love the grip but I’m curious about the skull and co, as well.

[@badmuppet6532]

No experience of that whatsoever.

[@BonnieLou86]

Thank you so much for your review, Skull & Co seems a much better choice for me and it really is a bonus that they are cheaper, win win :D

[@wolfsdecree]

I only have the Neogrip (based on your original video btw, so thanks). After watching this, I still prefer the Neogrip. Versatility is good as you mentioned. Also, while I ergonomic design of the satisfye is great, that long case just won't fit in my places. I carry my max carry case in my every day carry bag. it barely fits, but it goes. The Satisfye case would not fit. There is no way. Makes it an easy decision for me.

[@ytcbk]

Definitely Skull & Co.

[@Twizzle050]

Thank you for the break down, I really appreciate how indepth you went. I personally will be trying the satisfye. I think it's ganna fit what I'm wanting in a hand held grip

[@thaibinh1909]

From a long time Hori split pad user, I decided to order both of these grips. I have tried Satisfye since last week while waiting for the Skull&Co to arrived (expecting tomorrow). So far I somehow understand the uncomfortable asymmetric of Satisfye you said. I only play in handheld so grip/comfortable is the must have.

[@destinationpsp]

Which did you end up liking the most out of all 3?

[@Fukkatsu]

I'd say get the NeoGrip first and see if it's comfortable for you and if not go for the Satisfye. I have the older Skull & Co clear case and the Satisfye. For my hands I find the Satisfye more comfortable. However I love being able to dock my clear case, and with this new NeoGrip it seems like the kickstand, *possible* docking, and flexibility is worth it over the Satisfye. Not wasting a lot of money to get both and you can always return the one that isn't as comfortable.

[@WaterNinjaFrog]

I just got the new Zelda switch and since both companies here have a matching grip I decided to get both and see which one I like more I’m used to satisfye but we’ll see

[@Aranon78]

Team Skull&Co with the new version of the NEOGrip in white. It`s very, very good and the trigger grips are great.

[@troigrl]

I bought the Skull and co after watching reviews ( didn’t see yours). While I was waiting and waiting for my shipment since I ordered directly from the company ( none available on Amazon), I had then seen reviews on Satisfye grips. It took over a month to arrive. I received one email about the great expense they were making to get shipments in. I was shocked at this delay since my order said 2 day shipping. Then after completing the order, 4 days. Well my grip finally arrived and I hate it. It’s super bulky for my smaller hands and the very upright stand is not useful. I sold my skull and co and regret it. I’m going to reorder another and sell the Satisfye.

[@bluemidnight5926]

Right now I'm using a 10 dollar Chinese brand called HeyStop, and it's pretty nice, which is surprising. It only gets uncomfortable when I'm playing a game that requires heavy use of the right thumbstick, and right now I'm really into Ghostrunner, so it's been a cramp on my hands. I've used the satisfye grip in the past, but I find it to be a bit on the bulky side. The skull and co grip looks slimmer, so I'm giving that a shot next. This video helped me come to that decision, so thumbs up.

[@CTAtechdesk]

I have reviewed the Heystop on the channel. The s+c is far better 👍🏻

[@Gorgutsforcongress]

Having both grips and a hori split pad....I gotta say the Hori beats both of the grips....or any grip. Imo.

I just ordered the skull and co zelda tears of kingdom grip to go with the Zelda switch. Any of you know a closer estimated arrival for the grip. It said 7-14 days, surely it doesn’t actually take 2 weeks. Im beyond excited and can’t wait 😂

[@tonyosborne666]

I've been looking through countless videos about this as I'm moving over to the OLED version, and (of course) my old grip from the old Switch won't fit; so I need something new. Looking at the Satisfye, there's nothing with the smaller case from Amazon or the like (I'm in Ireland here) and to get it from the US will cost a small fortune - And I'm not sure if I'd get stung for customs either. So for about 30 quid for the Skull and Co is a no-brainer :)

[@blackbird007100]

Thank you for the excellent review! Of the two grips (Skull & Co Vs Satisfye) what grip would you recommend for people who love playing fighter games? Example, Mortal Kombat 11. I changed out my left joy-con to include the D-pad. The D-pad is easier to use for the special moves in the fighting games.

[@one4all885]

I own both. go with skull and co. the satisfye is not as comfortable, and designed more for shooters. you get more comfort with skull and versatility because you can swap grips.

[@vastneon]

I bought both. I got the skull n co first but no matter what triggers I used I couldn’t seem to get a good enough grip on it. Because of the triggers being made of plastic I always felt like the switch was going to slip out of my hands. But with the satisfye since it has a rubbery texture on the back of their grip I never feel like it’s going to slip away. But both are real well made products.

[@tydshiin5783]

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

My youngest recently got a switch OLED... we got an extra wireless controller that is similar to the pro controller, and I like that one.... but, I simply cannot play with the joycons in handheld mode, or with them slid onto the little holder that makes them like a separate controller... the joycons are just to cramped and the joysticks and buttons aren't placed in a way that theyre easy to get to. I'm not a tall person so i have fairly small hamds for a guy, i cant imagine a larger person with big hands using the joycons.... I have been looking at these grips, but I am really leaning towards the split pad type of "joycons" for handheld mode... Any input or advice on the split pad compact, or similar style controllers...?

[@lindaCtran]

Thank you for a thorough review! I ordered a neogrip for my new OLED switch. :) Do you have an update on whether Switch gets scratched after long time use? I bought the limited edition Zelda Switch OLED and really don't want it to get scratched, but I also don't want painful wrists..

Awesome detailed close look at both grips. Both are really great. I personally prefer the Satisfye for one reason: Comfort. The ZenGrip just works best with my hands and playstyle. Can't really go wrong either way. Tough choice but hopefully this video will help someone decide or just get both!

[@Amity45]

I think the Satisfye might be worth it for people who buy a limited-edition Switch and really don't want anything to get scratched. But, I will probably prefer the dockability of the S&C

satisfye workers tend to lie and say bad things about the competition, both on KZbin and Amazon reviews. I've had the first skull grip, and it was good, but not as good as the zengrip. the neogrip though is the best overall in comfort. the case also can store the official Nintendo charger. Only thing I believe the satisfye is better at is that the grips have a rubbery feel. it's more robust, but that doesn't matter unless you plan on twisting your switch, which neither grip is very good at doing, unless you buy a heavy metal one.
