TOP 10 Reasons why the NYXI Athena joycons are still THE BEST

are they comfortable to play smash?

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

Had my 2 pairs for a little over 3 months now and haven't touched the regular joy-cons since, besides twice for NFC Scan but everything else these can do and more comfortably. Even using 1 controller sideways is comfortable which was the one thing I was unsure about before ordering them, also they just look pleasing on the switch, but especially for the price I'd Highly suggest them.

[@jasonmxx]

i have the binboks, which is basically the same controller. this controller is great, except for the massive deadzones on cardinal directions (which makes any game with any sort of aim or precise movement unplayable). wish you included an analog stick test in the video.

[@CTAtechdesk]

Yup. I did all that in the review of the exact joycons you mention (binboks) a few months ago.

[@isaacayala5552]

I heard you could take them apart if you know how to do that kind of stuff and remove some type of cardboard in there and it makes it work better. I think Spawnwave talked about it in one of his KZbin videos.

[@_WiZ420]

Think of it like training weights, bc that’s what I did lmaooo

[@hafizidonya8356]

i agree with you jason… you cant play shooting game with 3rd party joycon almost unplayable…. i only use pro con when i play shooting game… you have anything in mind 3rd party joy con would you like to recommend?

[@Nesformers]

I really wish some company would make joycon replacements like these but with symmetrical analog sticks

Same here. These "joycons" are priced so cheap for a very good reason. You'll be lucky to get a working pair.

[@expendable9479]

I have the nyxi hyperion and they honestly kinda suck they lag so much for 60$, are the Athena better?

[@SwitchedOn]

3:00 those paddles will be great for racing games on the Switch and then using R and L for gears. Thats really hard to do when using ZL/ZR for car control and having to move your finger to change gears.

[@tenebrasm]

Changed the sticks for xbox elite sticks and after a small modification (the holes are bigger so I used hot glue to fill the space) I can't be happier.

[@cheeszy4696]

Charging the switch means bot only the console even the Joy Cons charging too awesome!

[@firehazardfox159]

Why hasn't nintendo trying to make a new joycon like those. Also I'm a bit surprised nintendo hasn't tried to stop these from being made.

[@Daley87]

Bit of a random request but can you check if the NYXI Joy-Cons fit inside a Satisfye elite case when connected to an OLED?

[@rujo700]

These looks just like what I`m looking for. Do you know what the difference is between these and the ones named NYXI Hyperion?

[@MaddixCuhming]

I got both this and the binbok, they feel slightly different and that might be due to this version being the C through version as they lack texture and is a clean and clear mold so there’s less grip

[@ethansanft5657]

So I have the binbok, and my l button broke, and I may want to buy a new pair. I ran into this, they look like it’s the same patent or whatever. Is one better than the other? There is a sale and I’m considering buying the nyxi ones because of that.

@@ethansanft5657 the C through one are just weird but the bin bok feel more full in the hand while the nyxi feels slightly smaller but I think there pretty much the same but I like binbok more

[@sheilaharrell1130]

I've had nyxi's website bookmarked for months. I had a pair of the slim binboks so I really didn't need another pair joycons. Well....I dropped my switch and broke the rail on the the left joycon. So after watching your video I thought it was time to give these a try. But one of the reasons I decided to buy now was the review of the case. I had no idea the red and black case has animal crossing symbols on it. It looks really nice. I ordered the black joycons with the black and red case. Thank you for the discount code! Excited to get my order.

Already decided to buy these though it's different brands, but i dunno it makes my hand tired faster, maybe it's not suited for my grip style. The older model which had smaller size is more comfortable for me, it smaller but fit more nice in my hand.
