I don't know which joycon is nexigo or binbok?
wtf how does this channel only have 12k subs, the production quality is great.
Thank you!
Finally!!! Someone the review led the gyros! Thank you so much
I was wondering if you did a review on these as I’ve come to trust your reviews. You cover the good and bad, glad to see you did these as well.
Thank you! Glad you appreciate our videos :) we got a new video up today of the new HORI Split Pad Compacts!
Excellent filming again Andy, well done.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
I think these will be great for a game night when i need more controllers, excellent review
Definitely! They're a great backup/spare pair of Joy-Cons at half the price 😁
awesome video, love the broll and what a cool looking joycon.
Thank you! Quite like the "not-in-studio-Broll" haha but yeah these really impressed me!
Thanks for the recommendation. I did end up picking up the black ones. Do you have any recommendations on cases that will fit the switch with these on?
No problem at all! Sadly I'm unaware of any specific cases for them but I have seen some larger cases that may fit them, I haven't managed to try any though to confirm
Got these in yesterday, Doyoky brand version. Really like them. Also got the gamecube version. And both are nice gamepads/joycon for me. I don't have big hands and with the slim version the switch feels very good in handheld mode. With the gamecube version it is getting to wide for my comfort, but still manageble. Yeah I think, so far, I'm happy with my purchase. If only Nintendo made this kind of original joycons (slim), that would be great. The transparent version with the led in 4 color looks really nice.
Recently have bought the Doyoky brand version as well. Just need to wait for it to arrive. Can't wait to enjoy my games with comfort and delight.
Great review as always, I really enjoy the quality of your videos! Now that you have had these for a few months, have you noticed any functional issues like stick drift?
Thank you! I still haven't had any issues so far but I must admit I haven't used them for a few weeks
Oof I was thinking of getting these, but hearing the D-pad leaves some to be desired I think I'm gonna try out the Hori Compacts for now.
Thinking of buying those myself. How did the test of time go so far? Any noticeable changes since you've bought them?
Also i've heard that BinBok's tend to have deadzones in joysticks. Have you noticed anything like that?
They seem to have increased in price quite a bit, since along with shipping they would cost 63$ for me (possibly even more since i live in middle Europe), but i'm still absolutely willing to buy them if they still work fine for you after almost a year of using.
The clear ones have no grip on the back!
@@X862go wait really? I really want the clear ones
Hey bro, how do you setup the gyro for zelda? is it breath of the wind version?
Bro, I would like to ask if this binbok have delay while playing games especially FPS games?
I need a replacement for my joy cons since I am having trouble with my L button.
what case are u using with these joycons???
Those controllers are so nice! But have you had any issues like stick drift?
I've not had drift on mine myself
i just got one myself, the only thing i like for it to do, is to connect it on pc as combined controller to play pc games with it
Nice
There is a newer refresh of this slim version. It have back macro button. It is called IINE Elite Plus
Ooo really! Will have to take a look
Im not sure about that bud.
does this support slide charging?
Thanks for the video. Just a question. Is the d pad responsive? I dislike the d pad on the pro controller btw. That one looks more comfy.
The d-pad isn't the best in the world, wouldn't be the best for hardcore fighting games but it's not a bad d-pad!
@@128KB Nah for me it would be more platformers. Mario/Wallachia and so on
@@Napalmburns Ah I got you, for that kind of stuff I'd be happy using the ones I got for sure :)
@@128KB ah sweet. Then i'll get these then. Thanks again mate
I bought the black version of these a few months ago and i have a question, Have you noticed a difference between the left and right joycon rumble ?
For the unit i received the left joycon rumble was buzzing weirdly like a cheap smartphone rumble motor, compared to the right joycon rumble who felt like a traditionnal controller rumble.
Just wanted to confirm if it was still present or already fixed on the transparen version
Ah I definitely don't have that issue and I don't think you should either, try contacting them directly and see if they can help you
I heard about these joycons breaking down within a month. how have your binbok controllers been doing? I bought mine recently and I been paranoid about them breaking down since my original joycon pairs did.
Mine are absolutely fine, not had a problem with them at all. I thought I had a broken button at one point, then realised I accidently assigned the turbo feature haha turned the turbo off and it was fine. Sadly, I can't speak for anyone else, I can't really comment on the quality control of the factories etc.
I bought them 2 or 3 months ago and they already have drift to the left ......... it seems I'll never get rid of this drift disease no matter what controller ....... (only the Split pad pro works fine, but it doesn't have motion or rumble or battery)
@@tony_0088 you should try to restart your controller.
Looks very nice, how are the sticks, are there dead zones on them?
I'll be doing a full deadzone video using a bunch of different 3rd party Joy-Cons/controllers soon but yeah there is a small deadzone on these. I think it depends on each one too as some people seem to have different experiences with them
@@128KB Damn, thats too bad, but I suspected it since I've bought several different models of "comfort" third-party joy-cons and they all had bad dead zones on the sticks, making them useless for aiming. When it comes to "different experience", I further suspect that many users might simple not understand its a deadzone in the aiming that makes them feel "off", or they are just casual and don't use them for games like Vigor or other shooters.
@@jimhultqvist2539 yeah agree with you there! Still think the best accuracy so far is from the Hori Split Pad pros, in terms of 3rd party alternatives
Great review! How are these for smash bros in portable mode
Thank you! Don't laugh but... I don't actually have Smash 😱 sadly I can't tell you :(
@@128KB 🤯.. no worries thanks for the review and feeback!
@@DARKNIGHT-117 I know 🤣 I have played it and I do plan on getting it! No problem though :D we'll get our hands on other controllers/options soon so stick around :)
anyone know what kinda case this would fit for the slim versions? just picked these up and i love them but now i dont have a case for them :(
They have cases on their main site
do these joysticks have deadzones? are they as good as the split pad pro sticks for shooters?
i am so scared of buying joy cons if they dont have good sticks. i NEED good sticks. there HAS to be joycons out there that offer every feature
Yes they do, split pad is better for FPS games.
@@128KB i want joycons that have gyro really bad and good sticks like hori split pad pro, do the nyxi hyperion have good sticks?
I got a pair of the new clear slim Binboks. They're better than the previous black ones. Still, no HD rumble and a D-pad that's OK for most games but not for fighters means joycon with a modded Basstop d-pad is still king.
Glad to hear they're better than the black ones! I've not tried those. Yeah they're missing some stuff like a decent d-pad and HD rumble like you said but I think they're great for almost 50% less than official ones!
I did not particularly enjoy the mushy buttons of the original binbok. What are your thoughts on the face buttons?
@@thelordgyoza I've not tried any others so it's hard to compare but I'd say they're less mushy, with less travel, than the Hori Splitpad face buttons
Would you think a basstop dpad would fit in these new binboks if modded
I been thinking doing for bit?
@@slenderxkiller6800 Oh I really don't know :O
Are the analog sticks smaller than the other binbok controllers?
Yes they're smaller ones but still larger than the official Joy-Cons
I’ve been skeptical but bought a pair on Amazon should be here tomorrow. I’m afraid of breaking my Joycons so this might be a good alternative to do wear and tear on.
Good idea! Let me know what you think of them!
I am curious too. Let us know!
Just got them in, at first glance they look and feel great. I even Took it apart to see what components were inside. I’ll play this weekend with Skyward Sword and post an update. I guess only time can tell.
@@hoshmil hey buddy after 2 months , how do they feel?
@@themightybunghole1088 definitely worth getting. They’re not perfect, but they do the job well and very comfortable. I like the feel of the buttons and how the controller contours to your hand. I’m mostly play in handheld so I don’t take them off the switch very often.
Where did you get them
I really need new joy cons
Please tell me 😭😭😭
You can get them from the BinBok website or try the link in the video description
What cases do you use with these?
You dont
but you dont have amiibo nfc scanner...... i got plenty amiibos for ssbu too bad i cant scan it with the binbok controller
No you don't get the NFC sadly but these are almost 50% cheaper than official joy-cons so they had to cut costs somewhere!
I got a pair this week and they are great. One thing though is that the LED lights are still on when charging on the dock and the switch is off.
Hmmm that's strange, mine don't stay on! Might be worth updating the firmware from their website
@@128KB I think it is because I am using the multicolor breathing mode. When I use other colors, I don't have that "issue".
I tried to update but then the +/- buttons didn't work anymore so I downgraded back to the original version
@@128KB anyway thanks for your review, I love them the same 😁
@@arkai59 Ah good to know! Thanks for the feedback 😁
Your nails look so good 😮
Random haha
8:10 what racing game is that?
HotWheels, Christina did a full review here: ua-cam.com/video/Vlboft05Dyg/v-deo.html
Hello kind sir, make a review of IINE controllers, someone told me they're the same as binbok
If we can get them to send a sample I will for sure
@@128KB thankyou! Btw i love ur vids u deserve more subscriber man!
Which one the latest, the slim or the big one?
We've not tried the big ones yet so hard to say!
Just ordered the white binbok (thick cakey ones) hopefully the deadzone doesnt suck with the thumbsticks. I need something with pro controller level thumbstick precision and accuracy for handheld mode. Joycon thumbsticks precision and accuracy suck
Awesome, would love to hear your thoughts on them when you get them!
@@128KB I know they probably won't be as good as a pro controller but I need them to at least be better than the thumbstick accuracy of the joycons. Playing any shooter handheld is the worse experience for me with joycons attached even with satisfye grip. I need my thumbstick accuracy to be pro controller level or at least close to or yo there with it and better than the cons
@@WavyVaporizers yeah the Joy-Cons are too short for me for FPS too, not enough movement on the sticks. I found these to be much better!
@@128KB so binboks definitely are better for shooters handheld style? Great I'm waiting for my white ones still from Amazon. Hope I got a good pair with no deadzone issues.
@@WavyVaporizers It's personal preference at the end of the day I guess but for me they're much nicer to use for handheld style shooters! I hope yours are a good pair!
I have 2 pairs of Joycons, but I'm looking at an alternative. I have a big palm, but short fingers. The original joycons are too small and uncomfortable for me. I was looking at the Hori joycons, but the lack of rumble kills it for me. These seem like a good alternative. I hope the batteries are decent. I'm planing to use them in portable mode, mostly, so I don't know if I should get the wireless version, or go for the wired only, that costs half.
Ah I'd maybe wait as BinBok are revising these controllers, we'll get some samples when they're done. For now check out our videos of the Mobapad :)
How come Nintendo does not release an official pro version for switch.
It's annoying isn't it, I feel like they should have definitely released more types of Joy-Con by now. Hopefully we'll see some options with the Switch 2
@@128KB still. Even with the current v2 and oled, there is a huge opportunity for additional revenue for them as hori and bin bok are selling. The joy cons are the most customizable part of the switch design in general. This should have been a no brainer for Nintendo. Original joy con, joy con XL, joy con pro, etc...they should not have left it to third parties to fill this void.
@@terenceramroop totally agree, I have no idea what they were thinking. Since the Switch was announced I expected to see official alternatives but it never happened :/
The Switch Pro Controller's D-Pad is exceedingly stiff, require a decently hefty amount of pressure to register inputs, and are weak to activate on diagonals. How can this d-pad be any worse than that? Does it not move at all?
Wow, I think you may have a dud Pro controller if your D-pad is that stiff. I have the Xenoblade Pro controller and my D-pad is amazing, works perfectly and isn't hard at all. This one is no match for the pro controller I have
All face buttons on Pro Controller are pretty bad...I just hate mushy membran buttons. Much better with metal dome clicky buttons like on the joy-cons, at least those kind of buttons register every time you press them.
Yeah, the D-pad of the Pro Controller is horrible, I can't imagine how this could be worse. I mostly play 2d platformers and I hate the pro controller because of that. And yes, I have tried multiple pro controllers and every one of the them is the same. What exactly is wrong about this controller's D-pad? That's like my only concern right now.
@@128KB the xeno pro controller is known for having a better d pad for some weird reason over the standard pro controller
The only bad thing is the light would kill the JoyCon batteries a little faster
But at least they don't make the light huge like the other system's controllers
Luckily they're LED so they're low power draw, I got longer than their claimed battery life with the LEDs turned on too! Another bonus is you can just turn them off for better battery life :)
@@128KB Ah OK Having an on off option is cool
Will have ta say that I do like the rest of the controller by the looks of it
@@ImaFnT-Rex yeah it's great you can turn it off and for a controller around 50% less than Joy-Cons they're very good!
Sir can u wake the switch while using this brand?
Yes :)
@@128KB thank u sir
Thanks, ordered! The zelda one's are going for $90+ :/
Hope you enjoy them! I didn't know they did Zelda ones whaaaat or do you mean the official Zelda Joy-Cons?
@@128KB That is what i meant! These are half the price of those at $50. Thanks again!
@@alexi111 thought so! Yeah for the price point these are very good considering how expensive the official ones are
have you updated them?
Firmware updated them? No I haven't, I know BinBok are making new version though so I'm sure we'll get our hands on those asap
How have these held up?
Still working fine but as a reviewer I'm always testing new stuff out so I haven't exclusively been using these
@@128KB if you were between some Joy Con alternatives or a Grip for the Switch, which one would you get?
Do they drift after months of use?
Mine are fine still
@@128KB ok thank you and are the thumbsticks high quality?
Can you play skyward sword with the joy stick like to swing
Indeed you can, yes :)
All the people I know who bought them say the vibration is bad, the buttons and plastic feel cheap, the sticks have a large dead zone. This needs to be tested
I talk about the vibration in the video, it's nowhere near that of the official Joy-Cons "HD rumble" and it's noisy too but I'd rather have any rumble than no rumble.
Plastic doesn't feel cheap to me, it's not matte/textured like real Joy-Cons, it's more smooth so it is different but I've felt worse!
Face buttons are consistent in actuation, slightly rattly but the plastic they're made out of is fine. Far less mushy than the Hori Split Pad (we've got a comparison soon).
Sticks have a large dead zone? Not for me, I compared mine against the official Pro Controller and I'd say you need to push it just a little further for the sticks to engage but even the pro controller has a dead zone, if that's what you're referring to.
You've got to remember these are basically 50% less and from a random Chinese company. For that they're excellent but can't compare to official quality.
@@128KB The pro controller has no stick dead zone. And binbok also has a big one. And it can be tested, not by feeling
@@xfarbxfarb ah so you've tested both yourself then?
My pro controller does, you have to press it so many degrees before it engages. The BinBok also has this but you have to press it a little more.
Again, for 50% less than Joy-Cons these are a great alternative. You can expect them to be perfect.
@@128KB I do not want to offend you and do not criticize your review. But the video should contain such tests, not verbal impressions.
@@xfarbxfarb oh don't worry! I'm not offended, simply having a discussion about my experience. It all depends on the channel/reviewer, some people go critically in-depth, whilst others cover their experience in a way to help those that may not understand or care for such an in-depth analysis.
I myself opt to try and help a broader audience rather than just the elite, since Nintendo is aimed at all ages and abilities.
If I experience any major issues with these Joy-Cons over time I will do an updated video and if the dead zone gets worse then I'll show a comparison to the official Pro controller using the joystick calibration mode on the Switch to demonstrate it.
Wait, isn't this the same as the IINE ones?
Wow, hadn't heard of those ones before but they do look like they may be the same!
@@128KB the resemblance is uncanny. 😲
@@shandower Definitely!
how is the deadzone on the joisticks?
Damn, I thought I did a deadzone test for these but clearly didn't! There is slight deadzone, enough to notice if you're conscious/aware of deadzone but fine for the casual players
@@128KB cool thanks.. I have the nyxi and those have a huge deadzone on the joysticks which is terrible..
@@DanielPerez-hy6qi Oh that sucks, I really think it's specific to each unit as I've just been sent a sample from NYXI and did a video review too, the deadzone on mine were very minimal (I also did a deadzone test in that video)
Found it bro never mind
Glad you found it!
