Ouya's Terrible Controller is Back... and Better Than Ever?!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- The Ouya (and its controller) were both a disaster. These days, the console is little more than a paperweight (or an over-priced emulation machine, if you want to go the extra mile). But since its controller is Bluetooth, you can still use it on PC, phones, and tablets to this day.
But more than that, you can buy yourself a genuine rip-off of an Ouya controller for PC and Nintendo Switch. There are dozens of controllers on Amazon and eBay that take the shell of the Ouya controller and enable its use on Switch. Are these controllers any good, is it even legal, and are they any good? Let's find out.

With this video, I’m debuting a minor reboot of the channel. Still focused on indie games, I’ll also cover more broad (and niche) gaming topics, like this. I’ll be uploading more, and obviously, start appearing on camera when I think it appropriate.
Sorry about the audio quality, by the way. It was my first time doing something like this and I was testing stuff out. Don’t worry, I just upgraded all my audio equipment, so the next video will sound much better! I’m also working on the lighting too. This on-camera stuff is hard!
nousagi t-shirt, u like more comedianas than idols-peko.
I just finished watching your OUYA video from years ago and as I go back to your channel there's a new OUYA video uploaded just a few minutes ago? My weirdest RUclips coincidence yet.
I'm a man of very few ideas.
I watched his ouya video the other day and then this came up.
My theory is that the factory in like China or Taiwan that ouya used had the molds left over and just decided to re purpose them to make this.
Yup my thoughts as well. The Ouya is the very eptiome of cheap Chinese plastic. And if there's one thing the Chinese manufacturing sector loves is repurposing and reselling said cheap plastic.
I've been enjoying all of your vids ever since you're on Cliqist. Please keep the channel going!
Thank you! Always love seeing people from Cliqist show up here. Never got a proper send-off over there, so it's cool to know people somehow managed to find me anyway!
@@TripleEye_Josh RUclips recommended your ouya video to people who watched similar videos from cliqist and slopes game room.
Imagine playing call of duty warzone using a ouya controller.
THe ouya controllers I used was one of the best controllers I used. But I have monster hands, and no controller but the duke and the ouya controller fits in them and not feel like my hand is dying just holding the damn things. The first set of controllers I got were like how you described, but I bought 2 after and they almost have none of the controllers, it seems like the launch controllers had a whole list of problems but they tried to rectify them and fix them a few months later and even fixed them again with the ouya black console launch, which FLOPPED so hard even though apparently that one fixed all the problems the ouya had including supposively the networking chip which lead to the fight over bluetooth and wifi which caused so much of the "controller" problems. Atleast this is what ouya told everyone, also the black version that came out over a year later also had double the storage. The wireless controllers had issues because the ouya itself had issues with connecting to more than 1 thing at a time. If you used all wired controllers, and wired connection than the system worked as intended and golden, if you connect 1 controller and wifi welp your fucked, 2 controllers and wired connection, still fucked.
If I had to guess, I'd say that these Switch controllers all come out of the same factory, which is very probably the very same factory that was contracted to build the Ouya controllers in the first place - and rather than spend time & resources designing a new controller from the ground up, and all the expensive tooling that requires, they just dug out the Ouya controller tool. Then it was just a case of changing the guts to get rid of the AA battery sockets, the touch-pad etc, and before you know it, you've got a decent enough budget controller you can sell.
It's not the first time this has happened. Remember OnLive? They were the first micro-console, releasing in the same generation as the PS3/360/Wii, but their system was based around streaming big-budget games to your home via broadband internet, much like Google Stadia today. They crashed just as hard as Stadia too, but were bought up by Sony and today live on as the technology behind PlayStation Now. Incidentally, On-Live was also available a service on the Ouya - but I digress.
OnLive has a bespoke controller for their micro-console.
It was really nice, very comfortable to use, and utterly useless once OnLive shuttered. But whatever factory built it, recycled the design for Google's Nexus Player - an Android-based mini-console that came out around the same time as all the others. The Nexus Player's controller is again really nice to use and feels lovely in the hand. It uses Bluetooth, so it can at least still sync to phones etc today, which just as well, as Google abandoned the Nexus Player almost immediately.
The controller design for reused again, though. This time, the thumbsticks have moved from a PlayStation configuration to an Xbox/GameCube configuration, as it appears to be used as the official modern controller for the Atari VCS system.
I loved the new camera! seeing you in the review was a really nice change and feels more... professional?
Overal excited to see more.
Thank you! This was a good first run of the on-camera stuff since it's a tangible product to review. It's stuff like this and other physical stuff (like crowdfunded-consoles, the PlayDate, etc) that I'm most looking forward to filming.
I watched the entire video and I was under the impression it was coming from a larger channel until I noticed your subscriber and view count. This is some good stuff, keep it up!
Can confirm that I rewatch your Ouya video from time to time. It’s a legitimately excellent video. Video game development drama is always fascinating to listen about.
I kickstarted the ouya and the analogue sticks were *crunchy*. Ouya's response? "don't worry, the one's we put on the shelves will be better quality. Buy one of those when they release". Disgusting.
Do these work on the OUYA because brand new OUYA gamepads would be cool.
I can't complain about self aware jokes. They're just too good
I own a gen1 ouya like switch pro controller and a gen2. and they both connect via bluetooth. I use it to play games on my android tablet and phone. I even used it via bluetooth on the ouya it self.
you have to press the (Y) button and then turn it on with the home button while holding the (Y) button down. then Bluetooth mode enables.
Metal moldes for plastic items cost as much as sport luxery cars. Even the atari jaguars moldes were sold to dental equipment manufactores, just to recover loses. If you have metal moldes for plastic manifature and you aren't using it, you're burning money.
I never knew these controllers were out there. They definitely look so much better than the originals I'll say that! Fantastic video. 👌😎
Battery compartment is very easy to open by hand.
What annoyed me about the Ouya controller is not having an On/Off button. Sometimes you'd turn off the console, and the controller would stay on until the batteries died. I thought you could configure the josytick deadzone in Windows.
the battery is probably loose an rattling around i modded my switch pro controller and it does the same thing after i forgot to secure the battery back down
he is dramatic the dead zone is not that bad he got a factory fault you can get these for around 14 to 20 with rumble and gyro i recommend them for pc
Awe, too bad you didn't comment on the deadzone of the original OUYA. Was it fine? Also, does the OUYA button not work for a start/select button?
8:04 what game is that?
If there's one thing that warms my cold heart, it's someone kicking the Ouya some more.
name of the game 7:58
just ouya hater nothing to see here, typical only supporting the big console company and not supporting the indie console
