This Spicy Switch Controller is.... Good?

Hyperkin has been releasing a series of limited run controller designs featuring a variety of brands, most interestingly food ones. They sent me this Sriracha one to check out and while the novelty is fun, I was curious to test it out and see how it actually stands as a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller option and to be honest....I'm surprised.

Huge thanks to Kevin for reviewing the Pixel Art! I do want to add that the controller DOES have motion controls/gyro when using it with the Switch. As for the screenshot/share button, the Turbo buttons acts as the share button when playing on the Switch. Hope this helps!

[@viciousthrill7103]

Does it have a button to wake the switch?

[@vastneon]

8bitdo just added hall effect to their similar style controllers. It is neat that the hyperkin is wired/wireless in one.

[@bland9876]

SN30 without the handles? Idk why they exist.

[@SuperDropKick]

My cousins Wife works for Siracha so she got a few for free! They sent me over 1 with the matching Siracha Case and it’s freaking cool! Lol I love it. 😁

[@Aenima308]

Anyone spelling Kool-Aid “cool aid” in the comments are cops

[@fightrudyfight5799]

😂😂😂

[@R3AL-AIM]

Ok so I am interested in the Cool-Aid controller and my older two would love the Lady Bug and Cat Noir controllers tbh

[@sirpugstudios]

I have tested, do no eat.

[@rexxe001]

Oh well amma eat ut

[@andycress]

Too spicy?

[@sirpugstudios]

@@rexxe001 DO NoT

[@sirpugstudios]

@@andycress yeah

[@poil8351]

was it spicy?

[@bland9876]

I would have expected it to be cheaper than the 8bitdo controller because you would think the branding would be paying for the controller so hyperking would be able to sell it for cheaper.

[@jrob0021]

I have almost all of them right now and still can't decide on my favorite. I'd like to say the mac 'n cheese controller, but tbh the Heinz controller looks great

[@gomichow]

That design looks pretty hot. Spicy even.

[@mrwoodcat]

the start and select button is symmetric unlike 8 bitdo sn30 series. thats better for me.

[@Nodeathnolife]

I would only buy one if they give me Soda themed ones for the hell of it. At least a Baja Blast theme.

[@tboatrig]

Oh my goodness I'm so glad I know that this exists now!

[@RaxonXVI]

It reminds me a lot of 8bitdo’s SN30 controller so how does it compare?

[@jakesmith5278]

Not bad but 8bitdo leaves this one in the dust.

[@BarelyAverageDude]

This or 8bitdo SN30 pro?

[@plows2940]

Well I recommend the SN30 Pro. I've had one for years and used it instead of a Pro controller until recently. I use it with multiple devices in addition to my Switch including my iPhone, PC and my actual Super Nintendo via an adapter. SN30 Pro is more feature complete and has a dedicated screenshot button as well as gyro controls which makes it a closer alternative to a Switch Pro controller.

[@R1IY2N]

@@plows2940but for portability this is better

[@Shendowx]

I got to say the hot sauce controller got me sold, I'll buy even sooner if they had a Pizza one😅

[@rodericksongalia6524]

The flavors make it edible.

[@jorgeehernandez6930]

I got the xenon because your review and I’m happy with it.

[@sojannedos]

Not gonna lie, I'm digging that coolade controller

[@itsdeonlol]

These are cool designs!

[@dominicsamf2895]

Hey! Would you be able to make a review of the new candycon controller? They work for switch and pc and are customizable, where you can hot swap faceplates and thumb sticks. Can’t find any reviews on them tho bc they just came out. ✌️

[@rogerjones9571]

When connected to a PC in Bluetooth mode, does it recognize the controller as xinput? Because that would be nice. Makes configuring things more streamlined imo

[@Final_Starman]

But how does it taste?

[@TheRealDyscyples]

Little spicy

[@renzTBDR]

Would like to see your take on Mobapad M6 HD.

[@fx3176]

You use the stick for platformers and 1982?

[@dragoon1090]

That kool-aid one looks dope.

[@LillyP-xs5qe]

it looks like the 8 bit do ones...

[@masonasaro2118]

just get an 8bitdo sn30 pro. those got hall effect now

[@BrochachoTheBro]

outside of the fun designs what do these even offer that the sn30 pro lacks

[@Normydoit]

Hall effect joysticks?

[@plows2940]

Lack of motion controls and a dedicated screenshot button is a deal breaker for me. I love 8BitDo's SN30 Pro controller which is just like this but is more feature complete - the only features it lacks from a Switch Pro controller is HD Rumble and NFC. Other than that you can't really go wrong with a SNES style pad especially if you ever decide to play actual SNES games with it while having the versatility of also having a modern style, dual analogue controller for more modern games. There is a reason that Sony has stuck with the SNES layout for their controllers - its a timeless design.

[@BobzAirgunz]

There is a screenshot button.I have this controller, and the turbo button IS the screenshot button and works as such.Not sure what he is talking about. It also acts as the turbo button but you must hold it down and then press another button to activate turbo.Otherwise,when pressed normally,it takes screenshots as normal.

[@xxnike0629xx]

This this compatible with the iPhone?

[@NikolaiPrime]

Nothing could be worse than the FIRST Pixel Art controller they made. Wired, 8bit style edges ALL AROUND so no way to hold comfortably, and with the most disgusting mushy buttons ive ever had the displeasure of pressing. Only good as a display piece. At least these are holdable and neat.

[@brandonmckenzie5866]

What’s the name of the monitor he’s playing on?

[@derricka.3206]

What, no Tapatio flavored controller? 😂

[@wolfegaming36]

As a hot sauce junkie, this is both awesome, and kinda disappointing because Sriracha is one of the worst hot sauces. #FightMe Jk I won't fight over this, you're allowed to have wrong opinions.

[@ynottony2310]

How do you change color

[@Sirethic]

Nice.

[@BeardsBaconTech]

Will it work on a computer a iPhone or iPad?

[@HalfpennyTerwilliger]

According to Hyperkin's website it works with Switch, PC (W10 & W11), Mac, Android and iOS.

[@tboatrig]

It looks like an SN30pro

[@robertosantana129]

I got one

[@2003andre100]

[@FleeceJohnsonDaBootyWarrior]

First. Looks like an SN30 Pro with a faceplate. I like it.

[@AkWaM_Official]

uranium 😋😋

[@GaetanLavigne443]

they stole 8bitdo..

[@LS-td4yf]

Looks like a blatant rant rip off of 8bitdo

[@DistinctionDino]

8bitdo is a blatant rip-off of an snes controller.

[@LS-td4yf]

@DistinctionDino Well yeah, that’s what it’s based on but they made a bunch of changes to make it more modern. Hyperkin just took their design, made some edges rougher, and then collabed with food brands

[@DistinctionDino]

@@LS-td4yf yeah but that’s literally what 8bitdo did to begin with. There isn’t much variation you can do on a snes pad. I have old third party classic controller on the Wii that feels just like an 8bitdo pad.

[@1majorasshole]

Way to expensive to not have nfc or hd rumble

[@Brandnugget]

design wise yes it looks wonderful but if you want a classic controller style like this get the 8Bitdo Version way better in my opinion
