[@Fuzunga]

I have a pair of those last grips (my box says Dobe) and I think they are spectacular. I've used them to play Mario Kart and the shoulder buttons work just fine. I don't think any grip is going to solve the problem of mushy shoulder buttons because you have to have a mechanism pushing down the real button.

[@wayverleesoulsong]

I don’t understand why people are complaining about the size of the Joy-Con, considering everyone is/was complaining about how bulky the WiiU Gamepad was (/-_-?)/

[@kolya4759]

The wheel can be used really with any game, while it's still smaller & less comfortablethan the wiiwheel, It rounds the controller off well. I've tried playing super mario all-stars with a wiiwheel, & it went well!

[@Gordo66Jr]

I honestly prefer using the joycon with or without the strap I think the grips are too much but the wheel is fine because Come on who doesn't like using the wheel every now and then

[@brandonbartlett5667]

Gordo66Jr fine

[@Solaxe]

grips are great, me and my friends can't play without them anymore

[@MuddyGreenMonster]

If your gonna carry these chunky grips around with you, you might as well just use the Pro Controller.

[@Jwilhoftstg]

Pro controlloers Imo aren't worth it since you can buy 2 joycons for the same price

[@carsondenny1986]

James Wilhoft unfortunately you can’t use the pro controller for all games. I have two but am looking at these for Mario Party.

[@kymkymo]

I bought a pair of these grips for 5 dollars on aliexpress. Definitely worth it. Also, they sell fake Pro controllers that are a little lower quality but by all means full functional and pretty close to the real thing for around 20 dollars which is a third of the cheapest original Pro controller price. For me it's a no brainer just buy your controllers from aliexpress and get 3 fake Pro controllers instead of 1 original

[@Jayrod64]

I've honestly been burned by Giotek, with their PS3 Real Triggers(R2 and L2 trigger enhancements), that crack and eventually break off after less than a month. After going through multiple pairs of the Giotek Real Triggers, I finally bought a pair of PDP Pelican Triggers, and I've had no problems whatsoever with those. Maybe it's just me, but for now, I'm avoiding Giotek products.

Shatter44G3ming thank you so much my switch was in half and frozen in an ice cube I poured sand on it good as new

[@averypatrick5279]

Thanks I poured sand on my relationship with my girlfriend

[@kojirotakamashi]

I have the grips he showed in the box at the beginning of the video. They work for me.

[@SyCoREAPER]

You left out the pretty popular Surge joy-con grips. Also shame to see Gioteck Duo Grips aren't available in the US, they look quite nice.

[@cyphid]

I believe Alex showed them off the surge joy-con grips awhile back. These grips in the video seem newer so that may be why he only covered them.

[@SirDization]

SyCoREAPER Surge's grips? Oh you mean that one with the itty-bitty top shoulder buttons... Meh.

[@SirDization]

SyCoREAPER I also believe that the Surge ones will lose below the Myriann that's in this video anyway.

[@barriverqualleen4550]

those are the worst grips that ive had, literally did not add any kind of improvement and easily worse than the sideways configuration of the joycon strap

[@SirDization]

I got my myriann like grips (a box with 2 grips) albeit under a different brand name for US $7.50, definitely the best. I won't need any other grips and I'm planning to buy another box since I'm so happy with it. I don't the problems with the shoulder buttons that Alex mentions about his Myriann grips.

[@dragonband9749]

I like the Surge GripKits, because they are pretty cheap for 2 of them, and they have a comfortable feel.

[@maarekstele2815]

I think the joycons are simply there for convenience when you are on the go so you can do multiplayer and tabletop play. Even toting the little adapters that came with the system with you on the go is an inconvenience. I just try to get used to using them with no adapter at all and use pro controllers or the joycon grip when docked.

[@tontoskimmins4516]

How do you use a GameCube controller? You seem to really hate travel distance on triggers.

[@joey4017]

None of those 3rd party ones have access to the L/R and ZL/ZR though... which is a shame. The surge ones seem to, but they're never in stock haha

[@carpemkarzi]

Love the "it's fine"

[@MintBiscuit]

yeah this wasn’t the video I expected... But I guess it’s fine.

[@Bros_AFK]

Take a drink every time Alex says the word "fine"

[@matttroughton7391]

5:37 my new favorite grips now

[@Steven-n7d]

Thanks for video. Don't listen to the comments that are talking smack. People will be haters. I enjoyed the video.

[@misteryuss6596]

Holy crap, how many times did you say fine?

[@BradYeti97]

Fine video. I like the review, good to see all is fine

[@Dy1anBy1an]

when you early and 360p

[@battlepowered]

didn't include the surge grip, which apparently has the best reviews. I was hoping to hear your thoughts on how fine they were.

[@malucart]

Why are your Joy-Cons' colors inverted? 🤔

[@Jwilhoftstg]

Why not?

[@Hi-uv7nn]

Mine are

[@jose-angelrivas2971]

i know Nintendo life isn't going to reply and most people don't know but what are the joycon grips called at 0:34 like specificaly, what's their name

[@maddus_]

Why didn't you include the Nyko Swivel Grip? They have tiny handles that swivel out of the Joycon.

[@gamingporkchopkingdom5696]

I bought your recommended one, hoping it turns out well! I trust your judgement :)

[@FabianEkholm15]

It's FINE!!

[@Matter_Of_Fact]

I've heard alot of these grips actually loosens the track on the joy-con making them wiggle while on the Switch

[@J-Rat871]

There is a version of the last grips that amazonbasics cell that is spring loaded and weigh heavier and also rubberized and the buttons don't click

[@yamasultani8481]

Do they make a grip that uses the wrist-strap shoulder buttons

[@nitko1287]

Should i get the gioteck?

[@tryingmybest7671]

How did he get this video to 10:48 ?

[@Miggy10115]

My favorite Video Game Song is playing in the background....

[@jacobradabaugh6241]

One thing wrong with most grips is you can't reach the trigger to switch your target in ARMS when playing with one joy-con.

[@miru2583]

Alex, are you going to do review on the new 2ds??

[@ridethetigre]

So are they fine?

[@emojo1990]

i got a pair of yellow ones that look like your myrrian one. mine are quite solid and the triggers are quite nice too. i'll ask my gf where she bought them

[@patatje6974]

I own the giotecks, they sting in your fingers at the top left and top right edges.

[@JustinSorensen17]

Steering wheel is my favorite control style. I play Mario Kart Exclusively that way, no motion controls, and I play shovel Knight that way too

[@LtFred]

Can we please point out this Man has the stickerbrush symphony from brawl playing as the background music :D Top Five favorite Nintendo tracks

[@FelipeKana1]

Are there new models already?

[@Gamekod3]

There is one other one I think might beat all these. The surge Nintendo Switch grip. Got a video on my channel reviewing it but it's a good one!

[@balasar139]

Is there a grip that uses the actual trigger of the individual joy con controller? Playing Diablo 3 that trigger even in side grip is used for the healing potion all of those and grips i look at cover it and that's not good for me.

[@pixelstargamescompany.893]

"OMG bro very nice video". 😄👌

[@shortazn97]

The AmazonBasics one is actually really good imo

[@viivsyn4893]

i personally don't like the grips that came with the switch, they feel too small and difficult to get off of the joy cons because theres just not enough to grab onto, it woulda been nice if they were designed with like some grooves for your fingers to fall into (thinking of how they'd be used in arms with that last little statement)

[@dionwithyaboy]

should i buy a switch or a camera

[@MojtabaM]

Enlisted Mang02 *Switch...*

[@dionwithyaboy]

Mojtaba Mortada oké thanks for the advice but if i buy the switch imme get a shit ton of games and stuf with it.

[@JMGauthier]

Enlisted Mang02 What? How can we possibly answer that for you? If you want to play games, Switch. Want to take pictures, camera. They're completely different products.

[@dionwithyaboy]

Jared Gauthier jesus man i meant it like what would you guys buy. i just wanted a your opinion

[@JMGauthier]

Enlisted Mang02 It depends on what you like. Photography or gaming. It's just kind of a weird question.

[@BradleyBishop]

The Nintendo Joy-Con Battery Pack is a nice compromise: a.co/3nx3R5r Works really well for games like Mario Odyssey where they want you to use the joycons separate from the console and you need to wave them around. They basically add a little more girth and heft to the Joy-Cons. They work pretty well as an alternative to the sideways Joy-Con for games like Mario Kart but are still a compromise from the Pro controller.

[@RossOriginals]

Heyyy been trying to find reviews of a Subsonic charging grip to see if I can find out whether it has a possibility to ruin my joycons or if it's a good buy for being half the price of the Nintendo one. Was thinking of picking it up for my spare joycons but not sure if I should just go for a regular comfort grip instead.

[@thebeta4816]

what a *fine* video

[@blaccman1047]

what song is in the backgroun?... I remember it from somewhere.

[@blaccman1047]

nvm. its from smash brawl. first level in story mode

[@SandalPower]

the steering wheels would be better if the colors matched

[@diegovos6692]

I got those last grips by a company called dobe

[@HIFZvsHABZ]

The gioteck controller for the right joy-con is awful if you have small hands as you can't reach the shoulder buttons.

[@lukashlr]

I do prefer Deltaco Joy-Con Silicone Controller Grips For Switch

[@wilfridtaylor]

Problem is to get ones that are big enough to be comfortable you might as well just take a pro controller.

[@PaintedZeus-]

I went for geotek no regrets ... I'll wait for a better option later... They'll make one probably about the time smash releases

[@Sackboy612]

Why is it 360p?????????? ;)

[@connor9568]

Sackboy That's very basic knowledge but I forgive you since you have a LBP profile picture and I love LBP

[@MojtabaM]

What's a PS player doing here??? ;)

[@Sackboy612]

Yeah I was trying to joke about it, did not do well :P Haha LBP is awesome, shame 3 sucked

[@Sackboy612]

[@codo430]

To be happy with the gameplay, use a different controller every time. Sometimes a single joycons, sometimes both, sometimes a pro controller, and sometimes one from on here
