[@darioa6385]

are they comfortable to play smash?

@@darioa6385 Yeah I ordered a set myself just because that price can't be beat honestly and if they last just as long as the officials, they're still well worth the money.

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

Had my 2 pairs for a little over 3 months now and haven't touched the regular joy-cons since, besides twice for NFC Scan but everything else these can do and more comfortably. Even using 1 controller sideways is comfortable which was the one thing I was unsure about before ordering them, also they just look pleasing on the switch, but especially for the price I'd Highly suggest them.

[@sheilaharrell1130]

I've had nyxi's website bookmarked for months. I had a pair of the slim binboks so I really didn't need another pair joycons. Well....I dropped my switch and broke the rail on the the left joycon. So after watching your video I thought it was time to give these a try. But one of the reasons I decided to buy now was the review of the case. I had no idea the red and black case has animal crossing symbols on it. It looks really nice. I ordered the black joycons with the black and red case. Thank you for the discount code! Excited to get my order.

[@NewbieGamerz884]

Hi thanks cta! Ive watched ur vid on the nyix switch controller and has ordered from them and used the discount code! Thanks so much! Looking forward to pair it with my oled switch!

[@SwitchedOn]

3:00 those paddles will be great for racing games on the Switch and then using R and L for gears. Thats really hard to do when using ZL/ZR for car control and having to move your finger to change gears.

[@Shioni16]

You sold me on these I was gearing up to get the satisfye but saw how they are shafting people on their orders atm so I jumped ship and purchased these. I have big hopes for these as I’ve been in the market for a solid grip/ joycon alternative since I bought my oled.

[@fkallen3236]

I kept putting off buying the binboks and glad I did. I have the oled white and these are now, the perfect joycons out there.

[@DanielPerez-hy6qi]

I just got these and found that they have huge dead zone issues with the analog sticks which is very noticeable when playing games.. Anynone know if the split pad pro from hori have similar dead zone issues?

[@tenebrasm]

Changed the sticks for xbox elite sticks and after a small modification (the holes are bigger so I used hot glue to fill the space) I can't be happier.

[@pdmd2]

Bit of a random request but can you check if the NYXI Joy-Cons fit inside a Satisfye elite case when connected to an OLED?

[@anacreativeplaysuport]

Nice video. Cool unboxing. Looking forward to your next video. Keep it up!

[@JamesGowan]

I like my black ones! Loved the video. Thanks for the work! I would imagine if you have 3 cables, you can charge Nintendo Switch and both the controllers 3X faster… that’s BIG

[@jasonmxx]

i have the binboks, which is basically the same controller. this controller is great, except for the massive deadzones on cardinal directions (which makes any game with any sort of aim or precise movement unplayable). wish you included an analog stick test in the video.

[@CTAtechdesk]

Yup. I did all that in the review of the exact joycons you mention (binboks) a few months ago.

[@isaacayala5552]

I heard you could take them apart if you know how to do that kind of stuff and remove some type of cardboard in there and it makes it work better. I think Spawnwave talked about it in one of his KZbin videos.

Think of it like training weights, bc that’s what I did lmaooo

I have to clear ones and I just received my slim satisfye case for my oled switch and they fit perfect in that case

[@umigabut]

Already decided to buy these though it's different brands, but i dunno it makes my hand tired faster, maybe it's not suited for my grip style. The older model which had smaller size is more comfortable for me, it smaller but fit more nice in my hand.

[@DnRtheShow]

Is there any way to find any replacement shoulder bouttons for these bad boys ? I received mine with a broken L buttons 🥺

[@MaddixCuhming]

I got both this and the binbok, they feel slightly different and that might be due to this version being the C through version as they lack texture and is a clean and clear mold so there’s less grip

[@ethansanft5657]

So I have the binbok, and my l button broke, and I may want to buy a new pair. I ran into this, they look like it’s the same patent or whatever. Is one better than the other? There is a sale and I’m considering buying the nyxi ones because of that.

[@MaddixCuhming]

@@ethansanft5657 the C through one are just weird but the bin bok feel more full in the hand while the nyxi feels slightly smaller but I think there pretty much the same but I like binbok more

I'm using MOBAPAD M6 Gemini, I like it but only works on portable

It would be cool if they brought out a neon blue and red addition. 🤞🤞

Great shout. The white is new so maybe they will release new colours at some point.

[@gustavomicheli3270]

Great video, congrats! I have one white color and love it. However, I can't play Fifa23 with it, I don't know why but when I enter into the game, the bottons don't work. This is the only one game that this happens. Do you know how to fix this?

[@johnforlizzi1749]

Will that case work with the Hyperion too?

[@wendellpowell5838]

Also they don’t have amiibo support. Still love mine though. The wizard wireless is absolutely amazing

[@superhecflores7785]

They look like the Binbok Joy-Cons in terms of shape. I have the standard black color, and I had these for 6-7 months.

Does it fit in the dock with the joycons attached? AND, does it charge the joycons while on the dock if so - since it charged them from being plugged into the Switch.

[@maybebutwhatever]

Yes and yes.

[@davidfortaner]

Is the case compatible with the binbok joypad?

I got them in black and white with full black case. Dont like is -Wish plastic feel less cheap and more like joy con. - rumble feels very high and not heavy or slow. - sticks where rubber and not hard plastic. Happy pay extra for this. Because rest thy are super.

All I can suggest is turning the vibration down on them and see if that helps.

What happens when you update these controllers on the switch settings? Does it mess up the controllers?

[@Kerringar]

I'd Imagine like act very similar to the BinBok version which I have. When I tried to update the BinBok Joycons on the dock you just get an error message that says update unavailable for the joycons. The only way to update the BinBok version is to run a firmware updater via the PC with the Joycon connected via the USB C connection.

[@CelticVizard]

Can you have the lights off? I'm not big on those lights.

[@danielmcphee2546]

how does it hold up? I often have trouble with third party controllers doing the joycon drift after 1-4 months, rarely lasting 6 months. So far i have a nexigo controller grip that lasted hte longest thus far and love. But always looking for other alternatives.
