This Product DEFIES & DEFINES An Entire Industry - MOBAPAD M6-HD Review

[@mistersurrealist]

I've been using these for the past 5 months. Absolute GAME CHANGER. I hate the original joycons because they're far too small for my hands and they give me cramps after a few minutes. With the M6-HDs, I haven't really docked my Switch in months. I now LOVE playing in handheld mode.

Just got this controller in the mail today and have been using it. I love this controller. It feels great, looks great, comfortable and high quality.

Watched while working out, and I too have had many say get this. What we truly need is!!! - A controller like this but it works for EVERYTHING. - Different modes for multiple devices. - Has the features like Amiibo (not that I use it) for Switch. - Swappable buttons/joysticks. - An adapter for Phones/Tablets so if you want to use these with those they can attach to whatever device you want. - Oh it has to work with PS3-5, Xbox, PC We're getting closer to the ultimate controller every day.

[@GameTechTalk]

Ohh the dream! But quite frankly, Mobapad need to start expanding as far as I am concerned. Maybe it’s a one off but if their skills is as consistent, they are on a whole other level!

[@BothellPlaysMusic]

After 1 year after the Switch 2 is released I bet we'll see someone pushing a $400 'ultimate controller' There's a possibility that Steam's next controller will check all my boxes. I can't get over how useful the soft/hard pull triggers were, along with trackpads, toggle-able gyro, and full mapping control

[@ThormasOdinson]

I got mine 3 weeks ago and i absolutely love it. I was contemplating this or the nitro deck and luckily i settled on this. I might get a nitro deck in the future but for now i am happy with my mobapad

[@TheInfiniteNine]

I have both and while I love my nitro deck for certain games, the mobapads are leagues better if not the ultimate joycon alternative. I would say if you really want one maybe try the nitro deck plus which have the wii u style stick layout but that is super useful for certain games where the camera is controlled by the right stick. Also it has better improvements in quality compared to the original nitro deck

[@GameTechTalk]

The Nitro Deck I tested but at my relative, I personally do not own one hence why I havent reviewed it. So how can I put this in the nicest way possible. The Nitro Deck’s number one advantage is its marketing push. It’s not a bad controller, but it is an overhyped one. Still, I don’t think I’d be disappointed if I had bought one but knowing that just as good exists for 1/4 of the price, there is no point and when looking at COIORVIS or Mobapad, they are both widely superior. You picked the better option as far as I am concerned.

[@ThormasOdinson]

@@TheInfiniteNine gotta agree with you on the mobapads. I saw some comparison videos on the new and old model of nitro deck and i think I'd be getting the new one like you recommended. But for now, I'm gonna stick to the mobapads first 😂

[@ThormasOdinson]

@@GameTechTalk if you do plan on getting one. I'd love it if you'd do a review on em. Yeah i agree with you that the mobapads are waay better but to be honest, the only reason i considered the nitrodeck was because of how it looks. Not gonna lie they look awesome. 😂

[@GameTechTalk]

@@ThormasOdinson I do agree that it has an impactful and neat aesthetic. I thought of potential dipping my hands into the Nitro Deck Plus, to me it feels like that one should’ve been the first release if being honest but I think it might be a great go to. I just hate how they charge an arm and a leg for shipping to Canada, more than half of the cost of the device itself.

[@GameTechTalk]

Ahh dang! Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!

[@CC8771]

Pro-tip for anyone buying these joycons. Buy some thumb grip covers for it ASAP; steam deck lcd covers fit perfectly. Mobabad used some really bad material on the thumbsticks that cause it to yellow really fast even if you keep them clean. Mine have yellowed under 2 months of use despite keeping the controllers in a case while not being used.

[@GameTechTalk]

That is valuable inputs, thank you for sharing and I’ll make sure to put caps, although I intend to swap caps tbh. I need to go all purple!

[@mistersurrealist]

I did it as soon as I took them out of the box. The original thumbsticks are still snow white after 5 months.

[@BidenBlast420]

Great video ! Very informative and you're fun to watch I'm currently a pro player in fortnite and overwatch and I truly believe that joycons have the insane potential to push the controller community to new heights. Gyro controls have been proven to be the best control input method, even more so than mouse and keyboard. The fact that they are 1 controller split into two gets rid of the gyro controls one flaw, the uncomfortableness of moving both of your arms. Being able to aim with gyro just on the right joycon is insane I will be buying these !

[@GameTechTalk]

I wholeheartedly agree with what you said. It's definitely a "long-winded" thing for the market to adopt, I've seen just how amazing it can be and no doubt that people that do take the time to "git gud" with gyro know just how superior that it can effectively be. More power to you! And hope you find great success in your pro career!

Bro, that’s the BEST review of the Mobapad that I’ve found! I live in Brazil, so this kind of product is very expensive here, and I need to be sure that it’s good before buying it. The thing I care about most is the polling rate/latency, and this is the only video I’ve seen where someone gives it the proper attention! I also have two questions, is the performance on par with joy-cons when it comes to wireless? And do you know if the Mobapad M6 (the non-HD version) is as snappy as this one?

[@GameTechTalk]

Glad you liked it! As for vs joycons, I'd say on par or better because as responsive as I feel they are, I also find the buttons to better lend themselves at a faster style of gameplay so superior if you ask me. I have never laid hands on the M6 non-HD version so I wouldn't know unfortunately. Cheers!

Hello, an off-topic here. I appreciate the reviews but there's like a slight haze on the camera lens making it look less contrasty / clear. Idk if that's the matter of editing software or side light bleed going straight into the lens, but I'm sure this can be resolved easily on post production next time. Anyway, keep up posting such a good content

[@GameTechTalk]

Oh dude! Thank you oh so much! Are we talking about the front-facing angle? Cheers!

[@dariuszsikorski4372]

@@GameTechTalk Yep, the front facing angle is the least contrasty. In photo editors it can be corrected using dehaze and clarity options, but it's always better to find the physical reason for the haze (for example a lens tulip may help in removing light which falls from the side, giving that look)

[@GameTechTalk]

@@dariuszsikorski4372 I mean I would be having a bit of haze because I do use two promist filters but I feel like you’re not talking about the “wanted” haze but rather something that’s not. I’ll try and see if I don’t have finger smudges that found their way there. Not impossible

[@dariuszsikorski4372]

@@GameTechTalk Diffusion filtrers work the best at night situations, to make lights glow a little more, but for daily use 1/4 should be the max only for slight skin smoothing (which is more useful in wedding photography).

[@ignacioisanchez]

7:35 Did you notice the HD rumble on these doesn't perform quite as well when attached? Try it with Golf Story. The M6 HD can't perform the OOB tone when you lose the ball to the abyss. If you pay attention, you'll notice this is a generalized issue with the M6 HD when attached. Or maybe my unit is faulty. I'm on v1.24 firmware. I got these last week after all the praise. Let me know if you notice it.

[@GameTechTalk]

I actually went in Golf Story, attached and all. It worked fine. Detached, worked, reattached, didn't work anymore. Restarted the game attached, tried, worked fine. I did the exact same process with 1st party official joycons and got the exact same results. As far as I'm concerned, the issue is with the game but to your point, I have seen games have different behavior with rumble from attached and detached, even Mario Wonders does that when stepping on musical notes. It's not unheard of and not specific to any controller as far as I know as that exact behavior can be observed on official joycons. Cheers!

[@ignacioisanchez]

I don't know why but when I reply to your message above it disappears. I wanted to thank you for checking the problem out on your end. It occurred to me that I can record the audio better using a directional microphone. I may upload some videos later. Thanks!

I've had my eye on these for a while. Right now I'm deciding between these Mobapads or the Gamesir G8+. I also have an ipad mini and a galaxy s24+, which is why im considering the G8+ to use on multiple devices. Is the D-pad alone worth it to get this one? I play a lot of platformers mainly. I also like HD Rumble a lot. Lastly, form factor is important, does the G8+ take up more space and is bulky? Overall which do you recommend? Thanks!

[@GameTechTalk]

On a Switch, I'd say the G8+ and M6-HD do take similar footprint, but the M6-HD is slightly more ergonomically pleasing I'd say. And yes, the D-pad is a massive upgrade on the M6-HD versus the G8+. That said, you could start with the G8+ to hold you off for a while as it'll work everywhere and when you feel like upgrade your Switch experience, the M6-HD will definitely give you that top-tier joycon experience.

Hey bro, please, help me out here: Do they fit well in the rails, or do they feel loose and "wobbly"? I bought a LinYuvo and had to return it because the fit was loose, very different from the original joy-cons that fit like a "single piece." Thanks!

[@GameTechTalk]

They feel tighter than the joycons, amongst the best I've seen but I have yet to see a solution that has zero wobbling, however little is left. For example, I haven't done the "electric tape" mod with these ones, the wobbling is close to non-existent. Do keep in mind that issue is better mitigated on Switch OLED than Switch OG by nature as well. Cheers!

Hello Klef, quick question. I have seen on reddit someone use standard switch joycons to attach to the rails of the onexplayer x1 mini. In your opinion, would these, in theory, be able to work on the mini?

Yes, now do keep in mind, the rails on the X1 and Mini are not readily capable of connecting with joycons. So I would assume that person 3D printed a mold to connect to the X1 rails and provide attachments for joycons, but the connection would still rely on Bluetooth. Assuming that this is what you mean, then sure, guaranteed 100% that these will work just fine.
