Just watched a couple videos on this and was wanting to know Bob's take and then lo and behold Bob descends from the heavens with this video. Thank you to the people who badgered Bob about this! 😂
I liked mine at first... then three weeks later I realized I haven't played anything but my switch for three weeks and in handheld no less. So I think at some point I really grew to love it. Solid purchase. Also programming one of the buttons to L3 really makes running in games much more enjoyable
Mapping L3 and R3 to back buttons is the first thing I do with controllers. It’s the first thing I did on my steam deck with every game. Besides running it’s also great for melee attacks or reloading.
Nostalgia fully took over when I first put my snapped my OLED into it. It felt like a really big GB Advance. I now solely only using my Switch with the Nitro Deck now. As someone who LOVES analog triggers like those on Scuf’s or DualSense, this thing is a dream.
Had mine for a couple of weeks now. It arrived just before I moved house so I had lots of time waiting for deliveries in an empty house which gave me time to play and I have to say I like it. D-pads were too thin for me but I find this really comfortable.
My joycons were drifting really bad so my main reason for purchasing was the hall sensor sticks. It took some getting used to but now I love it! It also fits in my tomtoc steam deck bag really well.
If you're still looking to fix your JoyCon drift, GuliKit sells hall effect sticks for them now on their website! Gonna get some myself once my replacement pair I got die out.
@@eterwill2999 They might, I'm not sure. They definitely still use potentiometer sticks though, so it's not a matter of if, but when they'll start drifting again. Up to you but I'd avoid sending it to Nintendo personally.
I haven seen a wolf den video since the switch release days. I just don’t RUclips much anymore but glad to see you’re well and still doing what you love
I got something similar that I really liked. It would normally be about $50 but I liked that fact that it was a strictly wireless connection and leaves the Switch's USB plug open. While this means you have to charge it separately, it also has a decent battery and lasts about as long as a Pro controller. The kicker is, since its wireless, you can remove and dock the Switch console portion and then use the device as a wireless controller. The color is a little wonky with the front being transparent with a skin applied and the back being basic ABS. A pair of programmable buttons and the ability to control the lighting and vibration intensity make up for that, I think.
Did you not notice the extra $30 got you all the other accessories? $60 doesn't get you the case, thumbsticks, cleaning cloth, and USB-C cable. Dude you used to put the effort into researching the items you review. The d-pad is fine. Never had any issues using it with 2D games.
I just got my Nitro deck last week. I bought the purple color that looks like a GameCube controller. Looks very nice. I was using it with my 2017 switch. I actually really like this controller. I like it so much that I bought the switch OLED to use with it specifically. Since I'm planning on using the OLED only for handheld gaming and not connect to the TV I really don't think the Nitro deck is as bad as a lot of you reviewers are saying when it comes to button and joystick placement. It's not a big deal to move the hand a little bit when using the d-pad. Just my opinion. Definitely makes the switch feel more premium in my opinion.
This would have been something i'd consider getting earlier in the switch's lifetime, well before i would consider getting a carrying case or pro controller. But at this point I already have a pro controller, and a switch lite with a case for it, my normal switch is just permanently docked to use as a home console. So this is something i consider as some cool tech, but I'm way past the point of needing it.
You mean the release latch below the kickstand that he presses at 5:50? Would have been nice if they had incorporated posts at the bottom that pushed up against the Switch when the latch was pushed.
I really like mine. The digital features are hokey and the removal process and the battery drain are negatives. The reason to pay one of these are that the ergonomics are superior (previously the near featureless Hori Split pads were the only way I could play handheld mode in any serious amounts). It is like incredibly more comfortable to use in my big and tall guy hands and I desperately hope the next switch gives us more ergonomic fully featured joycons.
I was putting on a dinky rubber grip that looked like ass every time I took my Switch out of the dock. I also felt like I was about to damage the shoulder buttons trying to get the grip on. This is a much better solution for me. The slot in click action IS quite nice.
I’ve had the GameCube one for a few weeks. It’s great and I love the build and design, but it doesn’t alleviate right thumb strain when using the camera in 3D games and FPS’s. I also wish the grips were a bit bigger. Oh, and that $30 extra covers the carrying case, thumbstick toppers, and the USB cable. The regular Nitro Deck doesn’t have accessories included.
I like the idea of the Nitrodeck but it is hard to justify getting one this late in the Switch’s lifecycle since I’ll probably be getting rid of mine after getting the new model - unless there’s no backwards compatibility or the Switch OLED gets a softmod like the 3DS
I still have the Satisfy Grip from when you recommended it. Still use it to this day!! Its great for those gamers that have larger hands! My hand would fall asleep when I dont use the grip
Im going to get one because I love the steam deck and I have so many switch titles in physical form that I could use this to enjoy my collection in the long run.
I am getting one because I don’t have a grip already, I love those back buttons for gaming, and especially because I don’t pick up my switch enough anymore.
Mobapad m6 hd is the joy con replacement you will want to try wullf. It has mechanıcal switches for all it's buttons that makes it so much satisfying to use! Also it's really comfy and unlike nitro deck it can be used as a controller with a little mod to your joy con grip
I got the GameCube special edition, one with the case and everything….. the quality of the case is actually really nice, and it comes with replacement parts… it’s a little pricey, but the quality feels pretty good! At first, I didn’t really like it in the hands, but then it started to grow on me as well. Looking forward to playing Mario wonder with it!
Like what ? It already has Hall effect sticks, macros, gyro, vibration, charging pass through, and use it as a controller when docked. It’s 20 less than a set of joycons. I can’t think of anything else it needs, besides maybe better quality vibrations and the back buttons too easy to push. Still worth 60 tho I think
@@steveybiggunzgaming8118yeah I agree, very tempted to get one of these myself - for me one of the main benefits is the much more convenient position of the charging port which is on the back of the deck instead of the ridiculous position of right in the centre middle of the switch which is really uncomfortable
I wish that I'd heard about this in time to get an Atomic Purple one. I'm a Gen Xer, so I didn't grow up with translucent Atomic Purple consoles, but Purple is my favorite color and I've always like translucent shells on electronics.
You really should be using the back button on your steam deck. I use them to replace the L&R buttons up top and macros for games like ratchet and clank so that I don't have to lift my right thumb to jump and dodge.
I was ready for your video on the Nitro Deck. I've been using mine since it came out and love it mostly. The right joystick could be higher up on the device. I didn't splurge on a color variant although I really wanted the SNES version. I did end up ordering a case separately so I spent just about the same amount of money but without limited edition color lol. Whoever reads my comment don't be like me. If you plan on getting a case, just buy the limited edition versions that come with a case. But now that I have one, I do have piece of mind that my joysticks won't ever develop drift. Also the trigger buttons are analog! No use on the switch really but could work if connected to a pc.
“It’s weird to see all this hype” …well the hype is you and other influencers reviewing and tweeting about it and the company sending a unit to everyone and their mother.
For Canadians, not only is the base edition $84 CAD, the shipping is $46 CAD! $130 Canadian dollars for it, aint no way. Guess i don't even have to consider it.
Glad you mentioned about the terrible sticker that has to be removed! Mine left residue across the majority of the back. Whilst I removed it all, I think it affected the surface of the Nitro Deck as it started to scratch the back of my Switch. Interesting about the battery draining issue. I returned mine in the end. I liked the thing itself but ultimately it suffers from being a first product (even if it's by a company owned by the Embracer group).
I got the $80 snes one and for what it was I enjoy it. My hands feel comfortable for long play Through and the analog stick is smooth. I usually use my switch lite. For most of my games but when I'm home with my oled switch I use this to play games like borderlands. It's an nice idea if your an collector's but for the Casual user you have to Weight your pro and cons.
I got a black nitro deck and case in their initial pre-order run. I still really wish they offered the thumbsticks separately other than in limited editions products. The dip in the stick I think is a little too deep to use for something like fps. In the left it's perfect but that right stick requires getting used to
So far, im loving mine, makes everything easier and not having to worry about drift for a long time, the charging input placement, and the overall feel just makes up for the 60dllrs for me. Its the best handheld experience ive had since I bought my switch, and I truly went through a lot of joycon variations. Oh, and forgot that I also used it as a pro controller while wired on dock mode felt kind of weird at the beginning, then got used to it and its really good if you have no other good controller options.
I like to think that Bob originally edited his own eyes/mouth onto the dog, but it came out 2spooky and he had to just redo it all quick. That's my headcanon for dog's shades and MS Paint mouth flaps, at least.
since you have a fancy new espresso machine, you gotta start looking at remineralizing distilled or RO water! it really helps improve the life of a machine since you can use compositions that are easier on the machine and less prone to cause scaling. it's... a whole thing.
I was waiting for your review on this. I had my mine for a few weeks now and I really love mine. Button placements could be better, but it hasn't really bothered me.
You don't pay that extra $30 just for the color, you also get a carrying case that you do not get with the $60 versions, which they sell for $30 already. After all you are paying the same amount for all colors, except that you are forced to buy the carrying case if you want the special editions.
When charging, the light will be on. If the switch is giving off any sort of power the light will be on. I had mine for a weak for my oled, I personally haven't took mine out that much, its practically part of the switch at this point. I love it and can't go back.
I think it looks like a great product for a specific purpose. If you want to use your switch in handheld mode frequently and this is worth the extra cost over a grip.
I'm waiting for mine in the mail, i have seen some reviewers say it scratches the back of your switch so i think I'm going to try and leave the sticker on, on the inside since it would provide some cover from the rough back pattern which i suspect is what is scratching the switch, and with the switch in there i won't see the sticker anyways
When I got my first switch, I played BOTW on it for a few months straight. Played both handheld and docked using the joycons. The controllers started drifting after 2 months. Then I learnt about stick drift being an issue for the switch. Since then I’ve been apprehensive about playing too much in handheld mode, especially intense games. For TOTK, I almost always played in docked mode. I could have gotten the hori split pad but it has no rumble. So I’m looking forward to getting this.
As a 90's kid with my atomic purple gameboy on an Iridescent acrylic shelf behind me in my synthwave colored gaming corner (🙄 lol) I too would have chosen the purple one that being said I am quite in love with my Zelda glow in the dark case/thumbstick covers and carry case my daughter got me for my birthday so I shall be staying with them over this. Super cool though there is definitely a difference between playing on the switch and playing on the steam deck. Hades has been an interesting game to see the difference in playing with either handheld.
i got mine almost a week ago and I'm enjoying it if your planning on getting this make sure to watch reviews to see what everyone likes and dislikes about it I'll tell you this i kind of hope the switch 2 has something like this in the future
I use the nitro deck wired to the dock in one use case. When I play in bed, laying down using xreal glasses. The wider size compared to a standard controller places my hands in a more comfortable position when doing this
10:49 my immediate reaction was failed amiibo. they originally intended to implement amiibo but for some weird reason they decided to do this instead. but yeah, nft seem not too far fetched as they developed an app for it
The only thing that I want for my oled... is a way to change between my 4 sd cards.. without having to take one out.. and putting the sd card I want to use... like the contraptions I saw for easy switching game thingies.. cartridges..
I preorder the LimitedRun Games edition. It’s cool and I love the way it makes the Switch look but would have been better if it came out when the OLED launched.
if it had a battery to extend the switches life or at least to power itself I would have bought one instantly but I cant bring myself to spend that much on it when I already have a bunch of controllers and grips that do its job better
About the macros, the 8bitdo Ultimate can save macros. You have to assign them on your computer, but those macros can include wait times between inputs, which makes them extremely useful
Yes but you have to figure out the timing for the button presses yourself which takes some trial and error and is pretty difficult. I had difficulty setting off combos in games for example if it was slightly too fast or too slow. And they get set off EVERYTIME you press the button with that layout profile on. So you'd have to set it to the back buttons (assuming you can) or constantly change profiles.

I'll pass..just too bulky for me.
Can confirm it's a fantastic accessory, in fact it's so great that it made me realize I was missing out on the Steam Deck. Now I only play on my SD.
This man's ad breaks are on such a higher level that I actually watch them

How much do you get paid for watching it

If this came out earlier in the switch life. I would have played my switch WAY more. This is great.
I shelved my switch a year ago when I got my steam deck, and the nitro deck now has me playing my switch as much, if not more than my steam deck.
Had mine for a couple of weeks now. It arrived just before I moved house so I had lots of time waiting for deliveries in an empty house which gave me time to play and I have to say I like it. D-pads were too thin for me but I find this really comfortable.

well, you forgot that sticks are based on hall effect
that is something to justify the price)

Agreed. The really f'd up with that. My hands are constantly in a strained position when using it. I am going to return it.
Would like more controller and accessory reviews from you. You have good insights.
I just found out about KRKD and saw limited run' purple and blue, man I wish I could've got that version
I bought the SNES version couple weeks ago and I love it, yea it’s late to the party but doesn’t make me love it any less, it’s awesome
I hear so many switch 2 “rumors” that I find it hard to believe. That product looks neat! I am glad the Steamdeck is inspiring other products
since you have a fancy new espresso machine, you gotta start looking at remineralizing distilled or RO water! it really helps improve the life of a machine since you can use compositions that are easier on the machine and less prone to cause scaling. it's... a whole thing.
Scaling is exactly the reason I ditched my Keurig and went with a Chemex instead of falling back to my French press.
i buy hot brew bags from a domestic producer and use a kettle
In case you don’t know, CRKD is pronounced “cracked”.
Thanks for the video man! I pre-ordered the Persona 3 Reload edition for my son.
Optional title: Make your Switch feel like a portable Wii U
I was waiting for your review on this. I had my mine for a few weeks now and I really love mine. Button placements could be better, but it hasn't really bothered me.
You don't pay that extra $30 just for the color, you also get a carrying case that you do not get with the $60 versions, which they sell for $30 already. After all you are paying the same amount for all colors, except that you are forced to buy the carrying case if you want the special editions.
Cinema has largely forgotten that giving a dog a new york accent is funny. Bob has not. And that is why his legacy will endure.
Bruh the dog ad is perfect loooooool im in stitches
Fyi, the $90 ones come with the carrying case which is sold seperately for $30.
So you paid for the case (and a cool color).
Ayy I got mine a couple days ago and love it! Just wish the case held joycons so I could play table top on the go with the grip still attached
The current champion is the Nyxi Hyperion pro. Nothing beats that joy con alternative bar none.
I ended up getting the NexiGo Gripcon Gen 2 and like it very much. A bit more ergonomic with the control layout and LED lighting.
How is it compared to this?
Strongly considering one because joycons suck for my hands and I feel like the added bulk would just work better for me on the go
BaHb's extortion of Zim's cuteness for ads is much appreciated, keep em coming 🤲
When charging, the light will be on. If the switch is giving off any sort of power the light will be on. I had mine for a weak for my oled, I personally haven't took mine out that much, its practically part of the switch at this point. I love it and can't go back.
WOW! Awesome.... That sarcasm was amazing and so warranted
Can't believe this man made the Switch 2 before Nintendo.
Button placement is huge bro , big reason why people play smash with the GameCube controller still . Some layouts just work best for specific games
it has rumble and motion controls if anyone else was wondering.
I was really expecting an internal battery to keep the switch on for longer. That was a lost opportunity
I think it looks like a great product for a specific purpose. If you want to use your switch in handheld mode frequently and this is worth the extra cost over a grip.
I'm waiting for mine in the mail, i have seen some reviewers say it scratches the back of your switch so i think I'm going to try and leave the sticker on, on the inside since it would provide some cover from the rough back pattern which i suspect is what is scratching the switch, and with the switch in there i won't see the sticker anyways
Totally agrees about the placement of the buttons. Hopefully Nintendo wouldn't repeat the same mistakes.
Love for form, wish it had steam deck button layout, a battery to extend switch's battery life, and different translucent colors.
When I got my first switch, I played BOTW on it for a few months straight. Played both handheld and docked using the joycons. The controllers started drifting after 2 months. Then I learnt about stick drift being an issue for the switch.
Since then I’ve been apprehensive about playing too much in handheld mode, especially intense games. For TOTK, I almost always played in docked mode. I could have gotten the hori split pad but it has no rumble. So I’m looking forward to getting this.
Satisfye grips scratch systems, which is why they redesigned them. You always take that gamble with third party stuff I guess.
It's 100% worth it. The back macro buttons make so many games more playable!
As a 90's kid with my atomic purple gameboy on an Iridescent acrylic shelf behind me in my synthwave colored gaming corner (🙄 lol) I too would have chosen the purple one that being said I am quite in love with my Zelda glow in the dark case/thumbstick covers and carry case my daughter got me for my birthday so I shall be staying with them over this. Super cool though there is definitely a difference between playing on the switch and playing on the steam deck. Hades has been an interesting game to see the difference in playing with either handheld.
I'm very interested in getting one but the shipping to Canada is insane
The button lay out are fine, what I think is sad is that the thing doesn't has its own battery to make the Switch battery life last longer
these Zim gags are getting better and better. i love it.
Just get the Retroflag one, it's got Gamecube sticks (still hall effect) and costs less.
Bob I love your dog and how you used him in your video. Very cool. Also thanks for your review of this product
Please for the love of gaming can you do a setex thumbstick grip review, no one has a quality honest review yet
i got mine almost a week ago and I'm enjoying it if your planning on getting this make sure to watch reviews to see what everyone likes and dislikes about it I'll tell you this i kind of hope the switch 2 has something like this in the future
I use the nitro deck wired to the dock in one use case. When I play in bed, laying down using xreal glasses. The wider size compared to a standard controller places my hands in a more comfortable position when doing this
The purple was a limited edition that won't have more than the initial 1,285 made. I only see three on ebay, and all above $300.
i preordered one and its really good
I personally prefer this over the Split Pad:
Can Zim get his own channel now? 😂
Yeah, I second this
10:49 my immediate reaction was failed amiibo. they originally intended to implement amiibo but for some weird reason they decided to do this instead. but yeah, nft seem not too far fetched as they developed an app for it
you would think they would have a extra battery version which charges switch to extend battery life.
I use mine daily, it's a game changer. Also I got unit #69 so bonus
10% drain overnight in sleep mode IS a lot. Since normally it would barely eat 1-2% with 24hr sleep mode
The only thing that I want for my oled... is a way to change between my 4 sd cards.. without having to take one out.. and putting the sd card I want to use... like the contraptions I saw for easy switching game thingies.. cartridges..
I preorder the LimitedRun Games edition. It’s cool and I love the way it makes the Switch look but would have been better if it came out when the OLED launched.
I have had a tab open to their website with intent to buy. You video helped me make my decision otherwise
if it had a battery to extend the switches life or at least to power itself I would have bought one instantly but I cant bring myself to spend that much on it when I already have a bunch of controllers and grips that do its job better
I bought it myself. It is amazing. Really comfortable, and made me play switch much more than anytime before
Another awesome review; thank you, Bob!
About the macros, the 8bitdo Ultimate can save macros. You have to assign them on your computer, but those macros can include wait times between inputs, which makes them extremely useful
Yes but you have to figure out the timing for the button presses yourself which takes some trial and error and is pretty difficult. I had difficulty setting off combos in games for example if it was slightly too fast or too slow. And they get set off EVERYTIME you press the button with that layout profile on. So you'd have to set it to the back buttons (assuming you can) or constantly change profiles.
@@curtislevey7639. Yeah, you can set the macros to any button on the controller except the special buttons
