I don’t think that the “modern” design of controllers is BAD or outdated I just think there’s little to no point of 8BitDo as a company to make controllers that emulate NORMAL pro controllers, especially considering that THEIR design of a “pro-style” controller is what put them on the map as a real competitor FOR regular pro style controllers People like the SN30 Pro Plus and the 8BitDo Pro 2 because it ISNT in the form factor of a regular pro controller. People like 8bitDo cuz they have ORIGINAL designs. So... would making a regular style pro controller be a bad idea for them? Probably not, I just don’t think it would sell as well
The fact that the Official nintendo approved Hori controller has no bluetooth or gyro yet the 3rd party Binbok controllers has all that +rgb as a bonus is just baffling
My guess is if they put Gyro and Rumble in the Hori, which is Liscensed by Nintendo, it would become a bigger competition with their own Joy Cons. Nintendo want to sell Joy Cons first and foremost.
I think the tabs on the back of the Hori's are intended to reduce flexion along the connector. Without them the rails would be holding the weight of the switch when at rest, and would have to directly resist any bending forces, which happen more often with a bigger joy-con and are amplified by the distance of the palm grips from the rail.
The Binboks are absolutely amazing! I've been using these for 2-3 weeks now and my wife and I love them. We both had absolutely 0 problems with our 2 sets.
@@edward8049 they have been fantastic! My wife upgraded to the Version 2 that are slimmer in design but our Version 1s still work to this day and are always used above the Nintendo joy cons.
@@patrickbutler87 I will say that the Version 1 has a bit of a mushy D-Pad, however the Version 2 model has an improved D-Pad and I enjoy it alot more than the Version 1 model.
“When was the last time you felt HD Rumble?” ... last time I used joycons with HD rumble on? Do people not notice HD Rumble? I curse my switch lite every time I have to play a game I know is better with rumble.
I think you're confusing HD rumble with just plain old regular rumble. HD rumble is when games make use of the technology to generate different specific points of rumble on the controller to simulate certain effects. 1,2,3 Switch! was an overpriced game for being a tech demo but it showcased it well. You can simulate objects moving through the joycons for example. The truth is most Switch games do not use this feature. They use traditional rumble most of the time (outside of 1st party games) which you would find on any standard controller.
And before that even happened, my L button ceased function completely for no reason, and of course, also suffered the blocked connection issue- meaning unless the Joycon has direct line of sight, it won't work. 3 things wrong with one controller, and yet the right side is totally fine.
I'm always worried Bob is going to break his Switch or Dock with his reckless abandon, but I can sleep a little easier now knowing that soon he will be getting the new Mario Edition Switch and will have another backup.
Something like the BINBOK is definitely what I've been looking for, joycons that have ergonomics and also work wirelessly; being able to take them off the switch and connect them together so they work as a controller is huge for me
@@bladeofmiquellalover I hope you still have interest in them, I bought them like a year ago and they still work fine, daily use and I really can't go back to regular joy cons, I hope you buy them
I'm honestly surprised Nintendo didn't do this, cause as soon as I saw the split pad I thought it would be cool to be able to attach them together like some kind of better pro controller.
I have a Splitpad- it's pretty good, I can't say I've had any problems with it. I will say that I do miss the rumble more often than I thought I would (currently playing through Paper Mario, which has some really nice HD rumble at certain points of the game). The lack of motion controls are also a little unfortunate, as the ergonomics and larger sticks would have been nice for games like Warframe that can use gyro controls.
Yes me too I got the hori split pad pro. Been using it for a few weeks now. Love it but tbh i didn't know it didn't have rumble. I watched a video on RUclips a short tome after I ordered it and was disappointed when guy said there was no rumble . Aside from that pretty good. Only other thing i have found I get teally bad pins and needles in my hands after a while but maybe that's me as I am aging, no idea.
I recently got the Kydlan JoyCons and I absolutely love them and makes playing in portable mode comfortable. I think they're worth it if you don't want to spend that much on the Split Pad Pro
I got the Binbok ones and I like them. I wanted replacements for my drifting joycons and a more conventional controller with a + shaped d-pad, so these saved me some money on a pro controller for a while. I made the stick lights blue and red to match the neon blue/neon red joycons.
The thing I like about the "back pieces" is because I almost exclusively play in handheld, and I dislike all the 'pressure' on the slides of the joycons.
Finally got around to getting some of those binbok controllers. Love em so far. Little more grip than the hori split pad and the lights a great little extra gimmick. Also got a “pro” controller bundled with it from them for an extra $10 which was totally worth it. It’s a solid controller and one of my favorite features is they both can wake the console unlike my 8bitdo controller.
Jude Harley I haven’t used them in a little while now but I have had zero issues with mine. They’ve been great so far. Considering official controllers from Nintendo are all riddled with issues themselves. I’d say these are well worth the risk. They seemed to have good customer service as well so I’m sure if you got a lemon or something they’d work with you to fix it. You’re essentially getting a better, more comfortable pair of joycons plus a pro controller for possibly even a little less than official joycons. Even if an issue develops you’ll already have a second controller to switch to if needed.
I would really like to watch an updated video or a review with the NYXI Hyperion, its a newer option that seems to be waaay better than anything else on this category of products.
A couple observations: *the weird nubs on the backs of the Hori controllers? They're feet. They keep the Switch elevated if you set it down on a table so that those rear buttons don't get pressed. *there is a pretty good reason for the full width controllers like the Dobe. One of the problems a lot of people have had with their Switches is the vent grille on top of the console breaking off. I personally thought it was really strange, and wondered if it was becoming brittle from heat or something. Then when I was playing in handheld mode one day, I realized something: torsion. Seriously, pay attention to the forces you're exerting on your Switch the next time you're playing it handheld. Unless you're a precision machine like Data, you're constantly putting twisting force on everything while you're playing. It's enough to put flexion strain on everything from the shell to the joycon rails. This is why I like to use those full-width grips when in handheld mode. I've been looking at the Dobe specifically because I like the idea of my console being braced in my hands. After this video, I feel confident enough to give it a try.
DO IT.... I bought mine a week ago as I wanted something better than my split pad pro, The Dobe sits flush and the backplate makes the switch feel alot more secure in my hands and the interchangeable joysticks are tops ! And as you stated with the top vents popping out I have noticed that with alot of my friends devices and wondered what led to that so I thank you for informing me... Im mainly a handheld gamer but im severly overprotective of mine so I have yet to experience that *fingers crossed* the only negative I give the Dobe is that not many switch cases are built to withstand the length so you may be forced to find other means to carry it with you
@Bennett Branch Nice, I'm definitely planning to pick one up for my collection either way, but I like to know that people have solid experiences with it first. And I'm glad if I could help you and your friends avoid more grille damage, any time I can contribute back to the community, I'm happy.
@@ProjectDv2 well I certainly endorse it... I know the video pointed more towards actual joy-cons but I think the DOBE is really underrated as a GOOD product and I truly thank you as I can let them know how to avoid further damage.... It makes me cringe knowing that its almost an innocent break with most so definitely makes me up my security parameters 😂
I really like the Dobe one, i wish a company like Hori or PowerA would make a controller of that style, it makes the switch feel more like a dedicated handheld
I am pretty sure all of the Binbox joycons have the "sticker" behind the D-pad and supposedly if you remove it the D-pad is a little bit *more* tolerable.
These make me think; would be cool to see you look into accessories for the Switch that help make playability more accessible for those with physical handicaps or limitations
i picked up the split pad pro a couple weeks ago specifically in anticipation for playing monster hunter rise in bed (and on the toilet) and while it lacks some fancy features, it's honestly stuff I personally don't miss, but i can understand if those are important to you! I personally think they work great and are super comfortable, and if you only need a bigger joy con for playing in portable mode, I'd say go for the Hori!
tbh my biggest complaint about joycons Is the feeling at the connection and how much they flex so the dobe is for people like me that feel like they will snap off their joycon if not careful with it Also Screen protectors are a must because plastic EASILY scratchable screen
I play portable alot and recently gotten the Dobe grip and I will say that it actually feels nice and I really like the fact I haven't had controller disconnect issue or the fact that it waste battery to charge
The main concern for the Joy Cons in my family is that they're super tiny. I'm really the only one in my family that's comfortable with the Joy Cons. The rest of my family however has huge hands, so it's super uncomfortable for them. These large Joy Cons could be a valuable answer to our dilemma.
@@MysteryDreamer I've never wanted the HORI split pads cause they're overpriced for their lack of gyro, wireless functionality, rumble, and NFC. That last one is the most negligible but many 3rd party controllers not licensed officially have most of those. I'd rather wait for binbok to be available. In the meantime my Satisfye grip makes my joycons feel comfy and since they're fairly recent (and because I have been careful of where I store them) they have yet to drift on me so far. Nintendo really needs to get a handle on that drift though, honestly.
@@CJSai64 Well i literally play acnh only atm so the hori joycons should do it just need something i can play in my bed while watching netflix in the evenings and i think 45 is a decent price so i hope they're worth it. They will arrive monday. I'll get these ones as well probably cuz u can use them wireless as well so i have another controller for friends when we play smash. Unfortunately they sold out and i need joycons asap so hori it is.
I came for the content, stayed for the sponsor spot, cringed at the drops and dock tests, all the while privy to a narrative journey unrivaled on the RUclipss. Another fulfilling experience, as per usual!
The split pad pro has a better analog stick and button placement. No grip can fix that. I personally use the new Skull & Co crystal grip when I need to use the Joy Cons in a game though.
I personally prefer the RGB ones. Because you have the two licensed options: - Pro Controller, for dock mode - HORI Joy-cons, for portable mode But these are like a two in one, i like it
Heyy the one with the plastic sheet backing, connecting the whole thing into one piece isn’t dead weight. It makes the whole thing more stable than if it was just the joycon attachment because it enforces the weakest points of a switch: the controller connections.
Thanks for the video I'm also a mostly switch docked kind of guy, but am looking to invest in something like this just for kicks. Thanks again Wolf Den
For anyone that's on the fence, just do it. They're incredible, had them for 2-weeks now and I just love them. Makes me Switch feel like a fat ass Gamegear and they're so comfortable, worth the buy 10-fold. Even rumble and gyro too.
I see these being SUPER nice to play once i can get back into coffee shops, or even playing in the park. Would be way more comfortable to hold, not have to worry about setting up a stand and bringing along a pro-controller if you want it to be comfortable. I love my switch, but if i'm playing for more than 20 minutes, my hands cramp up if i'm in portable mode. The Binbock seems to be the seller for me, solely for the gyro-controls. Shame Hori doesn't have that, I'd gladly pay the price of a pro-controller to have a Hori one with gyro-controls.
I like Nyxi joycons, They're the same as Binbok, but different brand. You can also update Nyxi joycons in the official website. It also has back buttons that you can map, that's very convenient when playing Smash ultimate or fortnite. I've been using them for 8 months, and even bought a second pair, but in clear/transparent design. I believe right now there are more QC pass ones, because both pairs I bought were QC pass, and there's a gap of time of 7 months. Also, they sell carrying Cases for the switch with the Nyxi joycons, dock chargers, joycon chargers, etc.; for christmas, they were gave a cap with their logo as a gift and a santa's letter, that's dope.
It's been a bit since I've seen one of your videos. But when I saw these controllers on tik tok and needed a review I knew exactly where to go! Thanks for the great video!

I think the tabs on the back of the Hori's are intended to reduce flexion along the connector.

tbh my biggest complaint about joycons Is the feeling at the connection and how much they flex so the dobe is for people like me that feel like they will snap off their joycon if not careful with it Also Screen protectors are a must because plastic EASILY scratchable screen
The binbok set actually looks like the best option for me. Just hope I actually get a good set...
The only thing that interests me is that it does not have the joy-con drinft, that it is fat is the least
. xD

Guys stop bullying
I’ve literally been researching which ones to get. Thanks for this video!
I remember sending the Amazon link in the discord
I remember buying them from that link :3
@@WulffDen I love your work
There's a Discord?
Welp I'm joining.
Oooohhhhh all mighty Wulff Den......
How do I join the discord ?
@@LaSoldier505 Its in the description
I play portable alot and recently gotten the Dobe grip and I will say that it actually feels nice and I really like the fact I haven't had controller disconnect issue or the fact that it waste battery to charge
The main concern for the Joy Cons in my family is that they're super tiny. I'm really the only one in my family that's comfortable with the Joy Cons. The rest of my family however has huge hands, so it's super uncomfortable for them. These large Joy Cons could be a valuable answer to our dilemma.
Thanks bob!
I was searching a review of the variuous type of joycons to see which joycons buy.
I really wish someone would make some high quality premium feeling joy-cons, like Razer.
Or ninendo could make a pair of them with the same buttons as the pro controller.
8:08 got a good one too! Binbok joycon are the way to go
Too bad the binbok ones are currently unavailable on amazon. I would've given those a shot.
same... had to get split pad pro cuz i cant play at all with my joy cons...
@@MysteryDreamer I've never wanted the HORI split pads cause they're overpriced for their lack of gyro, wireless functionality, rumble, and NFC. That last one is the most negligible but many 3rd party controllers not licensed officially have most of those.
I'd rather wait for binbok to be available. In the meantime my Satisfye grip makes my joycons feel comfy and since they're fairly recent (and because I have been careful of where I store them) they have yet to drift on me so far.
Nintendo really needs to get a handle on that drift though, honestly.
@@CJSai64 Well i literally play acnh only atm so the hori joycons should do it just need something i can play in my bed while watching netflix in the evenings and i think 45 is a decent price so i hope they're worth it. They will arrive monday. I'll get these ones as well probably cuz u can use them wireless as well so i have another controller for friends when we play smash. Unfortunately they sold out and i need joycons asap so hori it is.
@@MysteryDreamer That makes sense. Hope you like them. :)
i bought controllers from the brand taovaonl on amazon and they look pretty similar. i think it fits the switch even more than binbok
Great vid, got the Hori when you dropped that vid and have been loving it, but the Binbok is tempting.
The RGB are, as of this post, unavailable on Amazon.
Goddamit, now I can't look like a "Pro Gamer"
RGB for Real Gamer Buckos
There is a smaller version of the binbok controller in black and also blue and red
@@Joe-if5rq where
There also a blue and red version but the blue and red version doesn't have the led ring around the joysticks.
I really like how the Kinvoco raises the view of the screen. Wish the rest of them had this feature
“Quality assurance Nintendo has”
I’m looking for something that doesn’t fucking drift. lol
I came for the content, stayed for the sponsor spot, cringed at the drops and dock tests, all the while privy to a narrative journey unrivaled on the RUclipss. Another fulfilling experience, as per usual!
"Sure it feels fine to play like this"
MY TENDONITIS SAYS OTHERWISE
I ordered the binbok largely because of this video, it arrives on Wednesday and I can't wait to try it.
D-Pad stopped working properly, currently trying to fix it.
ok so imagine joycons but morbidly obese and they actually work
Another good option is to get a grip to attach to your Switch, I like the ones from Satisfye and their "ZenGrip Pro" is only about 25 dollars.
Last time I was this early, the Wii U was a success
Was the last time in an alternate reality?
@@Thunderbolt5827 exactly
Got my Binboks for christmas. LOVE THEM. Plus the RGB increase the FPS
Are yours still working?
Wtf doesn’t Nintendo make their own official version of the Binbok controller? Does Nintendo not want money.🤦🏾♂️
There are so many things fans have begged for that would make Nintendo a lot of money. I'm starting to think they don't want it.
@@kikij_7995 ikr. They have so much that they could do that Nintendo fans would turn their pockets inside out for so many things. So frustrating.😒
@Nobody comments are not funny you troglodyte
It doesn't work docked tho
@@manuelredgrave8348 Uh... 4:36 literally shows the Switch in the dock with the Hori Split Pad attached.
@@War624 you can't use it when the console is attached to the dock but the controllers aren't. Of course it charges in it....
My nephew loves the Hori pad whenever he uses the Switch in handheld mode.
I just wanna say, Stardew valley has great HD rumble
HD rumble is a pointless gimmick tbh
Hd rumble is surround sound for the controller, I wouldn’t call it a gimmick.
@@alexj848 Its just an overrated vibration that is OVERLY loud.
Loving the Awesome Screenplay Bob!
I have a hori pad pro but never used since getting the statisfye grip. I feel that's the better purchase
They're cool but they blemish the finish of your joycons or switch lite
@@GuyOnTheInternet53 the satisfye grip?
The split pad pro has a better analog stick and button placement. No grip can fix that. I personally use the new Skull & Co crystal grip when I need to use the Joy Cons in a game though.
I was expecting the satisfye grip to make an appearance. Mr. Bob never talks about it. *wink*
The satisfye grip requires your joycons, and we all know that joycon drift is still an issue
10:30 I definitely had a bit of a heart attack here
Kevin told us Bob was working on this video.
"I know!... just pretend it's a coffee shop" I related to that so hard lol
I personally prefer the RGB ones. Because you have the two licensed options:
- Pro Controller, for dock mode
- HORI Joy-cons, for portable mode
But these are like a two in one, i like it
I can say that never in my life did i ever think id look forward to an ad but its almost becoming the highlight.
Clean the switch screen it's stressing me >:(
he dropped a switch from 1/2 meter in the table. cleaning is not the worse part
Dude, I love your channel. #1 spot for gaming hardware info
The binbok link doesn't work :(
Been using the Split Pad Pro since it came out and i love it, they make carrying cases now for the spit pad as well
The Binbok one says it’s unavailable 😭
Yeah, I bet they sold out after this
Heyy the one with the plastic sheet backing, connecting the whole thing into one piece isn’t dead weight. It makes the whole thing more stable than if it was just the joycon attachment because it enforces the weakest points of a switch: the controller connections.
Im disappointed that Nintendo would let a company produce them without the motion and vibration.
That's not their responsibility
Cease and desist
Binboks have an updated version with a far better d-pad for anyone on the fence, definitely worth the purchase
where ?
@@SakReliGious You can get it on their official website, pretty sure they got a restock on amazon recently too
@@TopazBeast thanks i found them on amazon i hope its worth the price
@@SakReliGious I've really been enjoying my pair, far more comfortable than the original joycons in my opinion
@@TopazBeast i ordered the skull and co crystal grip as well do u think the binbok is better than the skull and co grip?
THe creepy anemia dude ALSO had peepee poopoo open in another tab, he's plagiarising!
Thanks for the video I'm also a mostly switch docked kind of guy, but am looking to invest in something like this just for kicks.
Thanks again Wolf Den
For anyone that's on the fence, just do it. They're incredible, had them for 2-weeks now and I just love them. Makes me Switch feel like a fat ass Gamegear and they're so comfortable, worth the buy 10-fold. Even rumble and gyro too.
Yup just do it
Wulff dens vids are getting better every time!
I see these being SUPER nice to play once i can get back into coffee shops, or even playing in the park. Would be way more comfortable to hold, not have to worry about setting up a stand and bringing along a pro-controller if you want it to be comfortable. I love my switch, but if i'm playing for more than 20 minutes, my hands cramp up if i'm in portable mode. The Binbock seems to be the seller for me, solely for the gyro-controls. Shame Hori doesn't have that, I'd gladly pay the price of a pro-controller to have a Hori one with gyro-controls.
I like Nyxi joycons, They're the same as Binbok, but different brand.
You can also update Nyxi joycons in the official website.
It also has back buttons that you can map, that's very convenient when playing Smash ultimate or fortnite.
I've been using them for 8 months, and even bought a second pair, but in clear/transparent design.
I believe right now there are more QC pass ones, because both pairs I bought were QC pass, and there's a gap of time of 7 months.
Also, they sell carrying Cases for the switch with the Nyxi joycons, dock chargers, joycon chargers, etc.; for christmas, they were gave a cap with their logo as a gift and a santa's letter, that's dope.
No one:
Wulff: I WILL DROP THIS SWITCH SO HELP ME
;-;
I need something like this for my big beefy hands. Thanks much for this video! Very helpful indeed!
This basically makes the switch like the Steam Deck in ergonomics and size
I really appreciate these kinds of videos, thanks Bob!
Did he just say "quality assurance" in regards to Nintendo Joy-Cons? Laughable!
This reminded me that I have the hori split pad in the drawer. Never used it. Now Ibuse it all the time. The D-pad is great!
I'll probably be trying my luck with the binbok
Ahhh, but they're unavailable...
It's been a bit since I've seen one of your videos. But when I saw these controllers on tik tok and needed a review I knew exactly where to go! Thanks for the great video!
1:27 I'm gonna use ExpressVPN just for this impressive acting
Thanks for the candid vid . Fixing to order the split pad pro cuz of my horrible joycon drift .
Keep up the good work on that Awesome Screenplay!
Skull + co grip and a pro controller seems like the best option still
Happy to subscribe, thank you for all your research. It is much appreciated
I don't have friends, so I went with the Hori Split Pad Pro!
