Imagine beating borderlands 2 using a Hyperion controller

[@HectorT52]

I needed this video again to learn how to do all the special buttons and led lights haha great video

[@128KB]

Glad to have helped! That's why I always try to do tutorials on features in case people forget!

[@ExGearUser]

Finally saw they were on preorder, shipping 12/2. I got these not for my switch but my Onexplayer Pro 2. Found an Etsy store that makes rail adapters. As an alternate/ backup if the ones that came with it break. This would also be an upgrade as these have Hall sticks plus wireless mode. Not the worst color combo with the purple EVA version.

[@koelti13]

Nice review! Since you had a different pair before (with the black middle piece), did you try that one out and if so, how is the consistency between the two? Do the buttons feel the same? Would also love more colourways...I don't really like the green.

[@128KB]

Thank you! That's a good point, however; I didn't test the previous pair as they said to disregard them. I'm guessing it was a prior test version, not the officially released version like this one so I thought against comparing them.

[@ambientkaiga]

13:16 same, I'm just waiting for clear ones to come around before purchasing.

[@RyuAkiga]

Awesome video! Big help in my decision to buy this controller! ありがとうございます

[@iankennedy1106]

I just got this. I do like them. Good ergonomics. I’m not sure about the quality control though. The left joy con is very stiff to put on the switch rail. Right one goes on no problem.

[@SlowDownUMovin2fast]

Same here ! Just got mine in the mail. Goes onto the oled console itself fine, but the joycon Nope !

My thought, would you swap the sticks with the ones from the old one to get that shape you like better? Maybe they'll have a whole stick swap set eventually too.

[@zogs362]

Hi! Great videos its better this or nitro deck?

[@theselectedone4190]

I think you should try reviewing the QRD Stellar T3 joycons, they're pretty similar to these and also have hall effect sensors.

[@AtomicSource11]

Does it work with PC out of the box? It's less tiring having your hands by your side with the separate halves, which makes a huge difference for my partner.

[@mrsambug1]

How would this compare to the doyoky with hall effect joysticks? Not a big fan of the green and I don't see any other color options.

[@drizztds]

Thanks for this review, i literally hate R/L/RT/LT buttons on my hyperion, and this was only reason for me to consider change to pro version, i see no change there so big NN for this joycons.I rather resign for rumble and gyro on hori than accept those triggers. Its a shame that we dont have any controlroler what check all the boxes.

[@HooDFoX2021]

Are there any controllers like this, switch style, that also have these extra buttons but also work for steam on PC? Like, I just bought an ASUS TUF A15 RTX 4070 gaming laptop for Black Friday, would they pair with that at all? I can’t find solid information, but some people are saying they connect, but don’t detect input on PC?

[@ArturKwaszyn]

I have the same mushiness problem on my Pros. I've been using them for the past month or so, probably one of the first to preorder them, and so far I do like them, but facts are facts - some buttons are mushy.

[@128KB]

Bah that's a shame but thank you for confirming it isn't just affecting mine alone.

[@lazercat6582]

Great reviews! Trying to decide between these or the Doyokys. Does each controller remember the light setting you last used or do you have to reset that constantly? how do both compare with responsiveness and ergonomics? Do you prefer these over mobapads?

[@ArturKwaszyn]

I've set mine once a month ago and they remember the setting up until this day. No need to reset.

[@Thq-ff8wz]

These are essentially the same as the doyoky oled joycons, so most likely go with whatever is cheaper or the design you prefer

[@sunnylad878]

I have a weird input lag issue with my doyoky ones. When playing games sometimes the face buttons don't work or work after a half second delay

[@davidmulcahy8548]

I have the older one. The Athena. Hoping to get this as an upgrade

[@spatha2456]

Are they working on improvements / quality control. I love everything about that green controller and would be all over it. My favorite controller hands down is the Xbox elite series 2. I kind of want to see if I can hook up my Steel Battalion controller to the switch, could be fun.

[@AMA_edits494]

Okay, first off, awesome review! Now I just wanted to ask, since you were able to take off the joystick on the pro, can you do that to the transparent one? Maybe switch them, the grippier the better imo and the original one's got it, but the pro doesn't.

[@128KB]

Thank you! I actually tried that but cut it out of the video. The transparent ones are moulded in and unable to be removed sadly.

[@Crcvmbdfl]

how is the D-Pad for fighting games?

[@AI_EVOLVE.]

The green is really cool and perfect I love it ❤ , we all love and wish to see more colors and genius desings like this from Companies that makes joy cons for the console 😅❤, and the best part is that Nintendo himselfs gave us the ability to change the joy cons in any time we want ❤🔥

[@JPokerx]

My question is RGB related. How do I change the bars to white like yours? Mine only seem to stay with the same colours as the joysticks.

[@ChristopherCameron]

I have the older Hyperion's (not pro) in black - and they're worth every cent. Super comfortable and having the flexibility of regular joycons is fantastic - it makes the switch feel like a much more premium experience. Feels almost like an xbox pro controller without the weight (the razer wolverine for reference). Although now its made me want an ROG Ally or Legion Go off the back of the feel of it

[@davidsavage3453]

got mine and was a little bummed, the back button on the left side only works to map left side face buttons, which is really just the triggers or D pad.... I can't get mine to map the left side to any of the (X,Y,B,A) buttons. Only the right side maps to the right side buttons. Anyone having the same issue or found how to fix?

[@nickhunter09]

Any Recomendation case for these ?

[@Doggy-B]

I have to ask, is there any chance of a head to head between some decent contenders for 'nun‐chuk' mode, á la Mario galaxy etc. Its a feature I need to consider for a new controller before laying out the cash,... I can't be the only one surely! Thanks in advance 😅

[@carriehorton2939]

i just got this guy. i like all the parts individually! they feel so inconsistent and it drives me crazy. the dpad is switchy and the face buttons and mushy and the triggers are spongy and the bumpers are clicky and the analog sticks just feel cheap. it makes a better fidget toy than a controller

[@KDemosh]

Excellent video! These are so interesting. Does anyone know if these work and be recognized for Super Mario Party that insists on Joy Con use only? I've looked at the NYIX website and I can't find if they could or not.

[@user-jt1jv8vl9r]

For games that need a good d-pad would it not just be better to get a dedicated pad?

[@iziahcoronado3789]

Do they fit on legion go I’m trying to find joy cons because the analog sticks feel weird

[@user-jt1jv8vl9r]

Is this item shipped from USA? And therefore import duty and 20% VAT will be payable (plus handling fee if you don’t pay in advance). Or is this shipped from the uk as well?

[@thefirstladyoftrance]

Good question... Was thinking this myself...

[@jordandiaz5526]

I know you mentioned that you cannot set a macro to turbo so that it will repeat, but is it possible to create a turbo for one button and then have a macro on another and just hit the macro once every few seconds while allowing the turboed button to repeat? I am sorry if that sentence is confusing, but essentially I am trying to figure out if I can map a command for walking in an Arpg like path of exile or diablo to turbo so that it essentially keeps me walking perpetually, and then have a macro set up for my main skill and dash and flasks/potions that I would hit every few seconds while the turbo walking would continue through it. When you hit a macro command does it suspend the turboed button or would my use case be possible? My hope is to only hit the turbo walk button once per map and then hit just the macro button every few seconds while pointing the joystick in the right direction for movement. @128KB

[@128KB]

Really good question and not confusing at all, I understand what you mean! My set is at the studio, when I'm there in a couple of days I'll give it a test but please drop another new comment regarding this if I haven't replied. For some reason I don't see replies to comments but new comments show for me and I may forget! I'll do my best to get back to you 👍

[@kojithecow4758]

I got the Nyxi Hyperion black (not Pro, I think it's called Meteor something) and they look pretty af.... but they goddamn suck ass, could just be my specific manufactured unit, but the dpad is SO STIFF and is difficult to press and register any commands, you have to press really hard or otherwise no inputs get registered, and the left controller disconnectes from the console rail from the slightest movement, you have to keep it very steady so it doesn't happen (which is never going to happen, you can't help but shake your console/joycons here and there when playing action games or fighters). Try for example playing the Hollow Knight path of pain and it was the most frustrating experience, the left rail kept disconnecting and it was the worst. Not only that, but I cannot connect them on PC with BetterJoy, for some reason the right controller gets disconnected every 10 seconds and they have a weird error that doesn't let them register with BetterJoy; I got the Binboks and they work beautifully in both areas as compared to Nyxi Hyperion, so it makes me feel reluctant to buy the Pro.
