The Weirdest Nintendo Switch Controller So Far

[@zkatt3238]

No, I'm pretty sure that the Dragon Quest slime controller is the weirdest Switch controller.

[@CruelDog97]

[@mephustowest1876]

I would really like a high quality version of that controller for the switch

[@budthecyborg4575]

Nintendo should really be selling a first party version of this. Make a Dockable Pro controller, then people worried about Drift will have a long term option if they like to play handheld but aren't worried so much about size.

[@DJIdroneabout]

There's no way minty will make something like that it's got the lite out

[@TheDaxter11]

also change the god awful decision to have the right stick be above the right side buttons, instead make it symmetrical by swapping the left side d-pad with the left side stick, so both sticks are at the bottom instead

[@JonathanAntillies0]

THIS! This is all I need for my Switch! A case that fits the Switch while attached would be amazing too!

[@kensredemption]

I’ve had this controller grip for a week, and for my enormous hands: It’s a godsend. It’s not for everybody, naturally. It’s big, a little awkward to lug around and sometimes button inputs can be impacted, but the fact that I don’t need to lug around my Joy-Cons and that my Switch gets a lot more battery mileage with this grip while I’m out and about has single-handedly influenced my decision to cancel my plans to buy a Switch Lite.

[@BGRecon]

@I j they are and I love them, they are pricey but have made handheld 100% better. I hope my switch lite pokemon edition doesn't suck!

[@calambres6614]

I 100% agree with you I really enjoyed my time with the wiiU pad and always wondered why Nintendo fucked up the switch so bad.

[@kensredemption]

I have given up: Actually, the rumor is that the Pokémon Switch Lite is going to be the same edition of Switch Lites that are currently out in the wild and drifting. Sick of having that issue, and this iPega controller doesn’t have that issue at all.

[@Hadeks_Marow]

Both input devices being talked about (ipega and x machina) are great because you get what you would want out of the lite, without having to deal with the inevitable drift of the joycons.

[@xehP]

geniwab Yeah, on a big meaty controller like the Wii U d pad. To be fair it could probably work on the switch joycons, just not when you detach them

[@lonedrawcansir6999]

@4biddeninja Moonjelly thank you they listened and now you can purchase the product that you wanted the rest of us are still waiting

[@rooty]

@@lonedrawcansir6999 But the appeal of the Switch is that it's a portable as well as a home system. I ain't taking my pro controller on th ebus with me. Besides, there was no pro controller for any of the 3DS models, the 2DS models, of the GBA SP. Nintendo's handheld designs have been flat as a pancake for years now. For absolutely no reason. Nobody puts their Switch in their pocket, and if they say they do they're lying.

[@only1sn1not1taken]

I like the stick being above on the right side. You don't have to worry about bumping into the stick on games which is currently an issue with most switch controllers.

[@momentsmeanmore]

I'd like to see 8bitdo make something like this. With some of the added functionality like the the actual Joycons.

[@mrhobs]

I'd like to see them make one with symmetrical sticks, but on the bottom. Not because I like the sticks there, but I just need a controller with a good d-pad on the top, primary spot for retro gaming in handheld mode. PLEASE! There are absolutely no options even to this day that meet that description. So basically an SN30 Pro+ split in half and stuck onto the sides of the Switch. (A grip would be better than Joy-Cons.)

[@thebacklog1458]

Nobody: Spawn: CONTROLLERS

[@rad2games889]

I really appreciate it, especially during times like this for me. I am moving and I have a feeling that I may have lost my joycons (don't ask how...). I barely used my switch but maybe I could use it more with a grip similar to this and a improved joycon like this but just a tad better.

[@isakwolff5491]

As someone that has the unfortunate of losing yet another pair (I¨m on my 10 pair of Joycons drifting right now) I might just by this instead for playing handheld since I have no games that really requires Joycons

[@TheDaxter11]

before going with this ide suggest trying the split pad pro if you havent already, if you dont know what it is imagine a pro controller being cut in half and then having both halves being stuck on either side of the switch like joycons

[@lndintw]

If Nintendo could split the pro controller in half and make it an accessory like in this video that would be great! Plus if they sold it in stores it would be easier.

[@AtomicOwl]

Well the hori split pad

[@psionicguy9524]

I still want a joy con controller with a dpad at the top left rather than the bottom left

So basically it turns the Switch into a Wikipad. Man, that's somewhat nostalgic (which is a weird thing to think, but with how fast Android devices come and go, maybe not?).

[@acecab5397]

Man, I thought about why not paint the entire wall dark green, then paint some metallic gold lines on top like a random diagram pattern and make it look like a giant circuit board behind you. That would be cool but also a lot of hard work lol.. gray looks fine though :)

[@joaopedrolobo2015]

please, review the Dobe TNS-18133, it's a joy con option just like that, but u can charge

[@jg_dostoevsky7026]

I dont know why but the look of it with the Switch on it reminds me of the Sega Nomad

[@Deathboy6000]

are there any other grips like this? i want this (where the switch no joycons locks in and then has preferably split pro controller with lots of support!

[@TheDaxter11]

i dont get why people think having both sticks at the top is good, its not, if you wanna have both sticks be on the same level they should both be at the bottom, like playstation controllers, having the right sides stick be above its buttons is not comfortable, i cant imagine being able to position your fingers to go to the buttons while still using a finger to keep using the right analogue stick being comfortable if its above the buttons instead of being underneath the buttons

[@sicari0s692]

ok so real question between this and the demon x machinca splitpad controller which do u think is better for anyone who has both

[@MoonyTheBat]

The Wii U gamepad is honestly my favorite home console controller. If this was sturdier, higher quality, and had gyro, I'd definitely be willing to pay 60 bucks for it. As of now though, yeah it's a no lol.

[@peppinoandweskerfriendsfor3450]

The Wii U game pad had a shit unnecessary screen and horrible battery, but it is honestly kind of comfy. Like, I LOVE the trigger buttons so much. I could master ate to pressing those, it just feels so cool and meaty. It also had a way to change the volume on the Tv which was awesome. I’m kind of a freak when it comes to getting the right volume so I normally have my Tv remote right beside me, so it being in the controller is nice.

[@christopher32074]

But the flaw is that it’s only compatible with the Wii U period.

[@budthecyborg4575]

I love the thumbstick placement here. I wish the Switch Pro controller would have kept that configuration from the Wii U.

[@Beavernator]

I just wish they would allow them to be used with the Switch since I have 4 WiiU Pro controllers... May buy a Mayflash adapter to do so...

[@WORKOBEYFILMS]

Been happy with the Hori Split Pad Pro instead because I have larger hands.

My bigger gripe is with the right buttons just being to small. My fingers start hurting a bit after prolonged play.

It looks just like their 9083 controller that I use for my Android tablet and phone. It would probably work better as being a spring grip because then you can move the screen up or down if you want, and it holds it pretty firmly.

Do you prefer this to the daemon x machina controller?

[@denl5699]

That's because design wise if you make it click in with similar latches like the joycons, people will have a hard time taking it iut. You'll have to do both sides at the same time. Two fingers to unlatch and then you'll need one more hand to pull the switch out.

[@gilbertocaldeira5935]

I'm pretty sure I've seem tablet controllers that are basically identical to this.... and just looking at it, it just feels cheap, I may be wrong but this is the sensation it passes to me

[@Hadeks_Marow]

I want my left sided stick bellow my 4 button d-pad alternative.

[@SkepticalCaveman]

@@Hadeks_Marow That's even worse than the current layout. Sticks should be on top so they aren't in the way and you don't have claw your thumb. I bought a third party gamepad for my Switch with both analog on top it's a joy to use in games that use the right analog a lot.

[@TheDaxter11]

the only issue is the sticks being both at the top, the right side stick should never be above the buttons, having both sticks at the bottom would have been better for it

hey jon you should do a video on changing dualshock 3/4 sticks / buttons just a thought 👍👀

[@fattiger6957]

It looks exactly like another ipega controller I have except mine is telescoping to fit various tablets (it still works with switch). It's okay, but it seems like its made for people with huge hands. The triggers can be hard to reach for small hands and mine does swaps the location of the face buttons (xbox style) with no way to turn it back to Nintendo style.

Seems alright, I think I prefer Split pad pro, but depending how the triggers are this might be better for shooters if you’re sacrificing gyro... but I prefer buttons be above sticks like a dual shock design rather than below Edit: take back what I said about triggers

[@inquisitorchristopher8527]

Split pad pro completely alleviated that for me... And I've had Switch since launch... Yes it's VERY light, which is good for overall weight... But everythings pretty well screwed together so it seems to be rather difficult to break...
