**Thanks For Watching!**
Support the channel so I can afford to get better lights! XD
What Joycon do you prefer? Nintendo, Hori, the the BinBok?
Can you show me what the grips are for the hori so I can play it when it’s not connected to switch
I prefer of Hori the D-Pad only.
Hori SPP.
Bro, can You use your splt pad pro with your grip of the others controlls? Like mmm inalámbrico form
Can you use SpitPad Pro in Table top mode
Bought the HORI from target and it came broken glad I was able to get money back , bought the binbok on Amazon , thanks for video 👍🏼
Because the back buttons on the hori split pad don't let you map what you want, I went with the binbok. Also the binbok being wireless really helps as well and I really like how the grips look THICC instead of just wide like the hori.
You're playing one of my favourite games - Bastion ..n for that you get an instant like 😀..very detailed review on controllers ..
Thanks for the review. Been looking for a wireless version of Hori Split.
I know this is a year old, but this helped me a lot. I'm about to be a first time switch owner and had no idea which to get
I like the pretty much all black look of the bin bok and the binbok have fatter grips something i hope hori improve in the next version. How do the sticks feel for fps games compared to the hori specifically right stick aiming
Great review
Helpful, thanks.
Great vid. It got me to order the Hori.
Great video. It seems the Hori is slightly bigger. From ur experience, is the Hori a lot more comfortable because it’s a bit bigger that the Binbok? I really want something that feels as close to a pro controller as possible but in Joycon form. My right thumb gets cramped from not being able to stretch it out when using the analog stick. Is your right thumb more comfortable on the Binbok or Hori?
What did you use to hold the split pad pro controllers at 4:23 is it the PowerA Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Comfort Grip
I had the binbok/nyxi joy cons but the deadzone of sticks were horrible.... I bought recently the Hori Split Pad Pro and is Awesome to play Shooter Games! good review!
How have you got the HORI to work out of handheld if they don't have a internal battery?
5:39 I see that copy of The Last Guardian. Good man 👍👍
Bought the binbok because of this review hopefully they come soon
I ordered this Binbok controller on February 15th when Amazon was saying they’d be restocked by the 21st. As of today (the 25th), they’re listed as “Currently Unavailable,” and mine have yet to be shipped. I hope they come back in stock soon.
@@macatron69 how about now? They were unavailable yesterday but now they're taking orders again (but saying they'll be in stock by late March) I'd just like to know if you even received them or not before ordering myself.
goodness you need to dust the dock and fan shroud w/e that is lol, otherwise very good precise review on all the nitty gritty.
Came here exactly because my hori split pad pro isnt up to snuff. Right trigger is wobbly and theres noticeable audio play in the face buttons. Im not impressed with them. Maybe the lava red hori was a bad batch?
Well said. Hori were making controller since ps1 or earlier. Its a ageless solid product
I ended getting mine on February 26th. :D I freakin LOVE it! It’s definitely the best third party Joycon I’ve owned so far. I can see why Amazon is having trouble keeping them in stock.
How's the quality holding?
is it still working properly to this day?
Yup! Still working great!
@@macatron69 alright I'm sold then, getting these for my birthday.
Enjoy! They’re even better now with the new version. They fixed the d-pad and added the ability to wake up the console.
Happy birthday!
You said that the led lights on the RGB controllers stay on while having the switch in the dock at night when charging the switch. I dont use my switch that often and I don't want to have the led lights running constantly, is there a way to turn the RGB controllers off when not in use? Second question, do the RGB controllers come with a piece in the middle when having the switch in the dock hooked up to the TV? Because with the HORI controllers i know that you have to by a set to play in non portable mode. Thanks.
There's a turbo button on the Binbok RBG joy-cons?
Would u say the hori thumbsticks are more accurate and precise than the binbok and joycons thumbsticks in handheld mode??
I was gonna switch from hori to binbok cuz of the gyroscope, but if they seem that flimsy, I’d rather stick to the licensed and tried and true HORIs. I hardly use gyroscope, and even if I’m forced into using motion controls, like with some Zelda BOTW puzzles, I’d just pop out my joy cons or pro controller for that moment. Thanks for the review.
The hori D-pad is probably one of the most precise I've ever used. If it had some more grip to it, it would be perfect
Buen video, carnal
A mi también me lo pareció ¿Cuál te gustó más?
Im on the fence about the binbok. The analogs look like the same ones that are on the powerA wireless controller, that have small thumb suface area and are hard plastic instead of rubber which makes it slippery.
I think thumb grips solve that problem
They aren’t slippery they have a nice grip pattern and they have little spikes the give you extra grip on them and feel pretty good but you can get hori for better feel but lose a lot of features
For me, the Hori was the way to go. I already had a 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ for docked gameplay so I didn't really need a pro style controller. I never use motion controls unless the game requires it and I dislike rumble and usually turn it off in my games. And I never buy amiibos so all of the missing functionalities weren't issues for me, really.
Where I live, the Hori Split Pad Pro is sold in a lot of places and the "licensed by Nintendo" seal of approval makes me sigh of relief since I'll know for sure there won't be any problems along the line.
I'm not saying the Binboks wouldn't be great. I'm sure they are. But for my use case, the Hori SPP was great. My only gripe is that I really wish the controllers were even thicker and more curved like a regular controller. I still feel like my hands are cramped (just like with the joycons). And yes, I do have large hands and long fingers so it's saddening that although people commented that the Hori SPP pads are "huge", I actually disagree on that. They're nowhere near the size of Xbox controllers or the Switch Pro Controller, unfortunately.
Overall I would recommend the Hori simply because although it's not perfect, it lacks some features etc. but I find it's a readily available reliable product that fits well with especially first person games like BioShock and although it's nowhere near as great feeling as a dedicated gamepad, it's still miles better than the joycons and doesn't suffer from the drifting issues. I paid 40€ (+3€ for shipping) for mine and I think it was a bargain.
Couldnt agree more. All These missing features of the Hori are Things i never used in Gaming since i started as a Kid
Which one has better ergonomics, like feeling in hand during play. Not including the feel of quality.
What joys would you recommend for someone (me) who's playing mostly cozy games like pokemon series, stardew, animal crossing, minecraft, lego... ? thanks!
Does split pad pro not work by wireless, has to be docked as handheld mode always?
Great video! I’ve had the split pad pro for 1.5 years but just ordered the binbok to try them out cause of your excellent video! Quick question: what game is at 1:40? Thanks!
its (Fire Emblem Warriors).
It's pretty wild to me that Nintendo don't seem to have an official version of this.
So I got a official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for Docked mode. I love that and will not change it..
I was actually looking for exclusive "Best" handheld Joycons for when i'm playing undocked.
I want some different joycons to slap on to make it feel premium. Shall I go with the Hori Split Pad Pro then? I'm not intrested in pairing them up with my Switch for Wireless or playing stuff like Mario Party, JUST handheld mode.. Need to have that "Gameboy" premium feel, im debating wich one I would need..
I know this was a week ago but if you're still unsure check out Nihongogamer review for the Hori Split Pad Pro goes into a bit more detail particularly for the D-pad convinced me to order one as I'm like you I have the Official Pro for docked play but I wanted something comfortable with good D-pad for handheld.
Binbok left controller is all wobbly. I've exchanged 4 of them.. they all seem to be the same. Must be one guy making them all. Hori is very solid. Only thing I do not like about Hori is the joystick is tall for my hands.
Where can I find the grips it’s connected to that makes it a full controller, I’ve looked online and can’t find it anywhere or what they are called
the binbox come with the grip, the hori don't
however you can use the binbok grip with the hori,
you may also be able to use other grips on the hori, but as they lack wireless, it's kinda pointless
1:25 what game is that? Well what are all the games you’re playing here I’ve never seen them and they look fun. I bought the binbok I love them though my pair had an issue with the a button not responding if I left it idle but the replacement haven’t don’t that so far.
Can it be used on the phone too? Does it work on the phone via Bluetooth?
What was the second game you showed, right after Mana?
I ordered this Binbok controller on February 15th when Amazon was saying they’d be restocked by the 21st. As of today (the 25th), they’re listed as “Currently Unavailable,” and mine have yet to be shipped. I hope they come back in stock soon.
I did the same and they just showed as shipped today
I ended getting mine on February 26th. :D I freakin LOVE it!
@@macatron69 lol I don’t even know you but it bothered me that we both ordered them on the same day and I got mine and didn’t hear if you got yours. I love these things and I was in the same boat as you. Happy to her you got yours and like them as much as I do, thanks for the update.
Thanks! I’m really happy you received yours as well. :D
RGB?? Sick!
Subscribed. Great coverage and thoroughly covered those things I was most curious about. Thanks. Looking forward to following your channel's content.
What was the game at 6:09 ? thanks
Thanks!
and the game's called 'earth wars'
www.nintendo.com/games/detail/earth-wars-switch/
The Hori splitpad has the best sticks Ive ever felt in a controller. Much, much better than the Pro controller or Xbox Elite. I just wish it was wireless and had gyro. And larger grips.
Do the Binbok still work? Have they drifted?
Where to buy the battery pack grip for hori split pad?
Is there anything to make Hori split pad pro use able wireless ?
What is that adapter you using in wireless mode?
I have the split pad pro and love it
i have owned 2 daemon x machina versions of the hori split pad pro, but for some odd reason - both right sides of the joycons have completely stopped working after a year or so of owning them. there was really no resolution to my issue and the prices of the split pad pro increased dramatically. i just ordered a pair of binboks today and they seem quite better than what i had before ; the durability seems good, and i am a huge fan of LEDs. i am still really bummed out on how i could not repair my joycons that i have cherished for a while.
How are they 8 months later?
@@----5247 they are still amazing. the quality hasn’t degraded yet.
@@grumpyscorpion thanks for the reply!
@@----5247 Binboks are a gamble, some people get really durable and great ones, but some people get really bad ones that break after a few months. Sadly I was the latter.
I heard these joycons have serious lite bleed. I also heard the rumble in the left joycon is puchier
Question if I hear it right , can you map the buttons on back (example putting the A on the left Joy con)
on both, you can only map the back buttons to buttons on the same side,
for example, the left side mappable button can only be set to L1/l2/l3,select, screenshot
and the dpad, while the right side joycon's mappable buttons can only be set to ABXY R1/R2/R3, start, home.
Each joycon's button is locked to mapping from it's respective side, so no, you sadly can't map the left joycon's button to 'A'
What's a good case for the binbok controllers
Satisfye's Elite case seems like it'll be a good fit, I owns one and is waiting my binbok too, hope this fits like the video below :p
ua-cam.com/video/X4Dz5QqYpWY/v-deo.html
Hori split pad pro! I prefer only certified products for my switch right now. I really love the hori split pad’s options as well
The thing is that it doesn’t have features. It only has the paddles you can remap. So really I think it is a great option but the binbok is a great alternative. Also there is no reason to only get certified products. Just look at reviews to tell you what you need to know
@@vitalirogel5938 Speaking of reviews I read 2 separate customers had the BinBok ones and it bricked there switch. One just made the claim the other went into detail about it happening when he left it on the dock for charging just a word of warning about them I am still undecided on what to buy.
@@damarlboromans I read that about the wired ones. I never heard that about the Bluetooth one. I’m still getting them because if my switch is brick I’ll make them get me a new one. The only thing I would be mad about is they might get me a v2 when I have a v1 modded one. I am mad I can’t get it now because it’s unavailable for both of the Bluetooth ones.
The hori controller have way better button and way less weight a good soptiin for hardcore monster hunter player
@@haidweng7948 Yeah and the Hori is clearly made for the handheld play, so no wonder that it doesn't have motion controls or being working with the switch middle controller part, that's not the point of the Hori.
I thought that the binbok let you map any button to the back buttons? Are you sure they don't? Or were you just showing rhe binbok while talking about the hori split pad?
With both you can only map buttons for that specific controller side,
So for example you can't map anything on the right jouycon to any d-pad buttons)
Really want the BinBok controller, just need a good case that fits them
That's my issue right now is searching for a case. There are videos that show split pad pro compatible cases. Which would essentially fit the binboks
I gotchu fam!!!! Just got my Binboks today!! I got the case afew days earlier and it fits PERFECTLY!! I do warn you though there’s not alot of carrying space. Hope this helps tho!!! www.amazon.sg/ButterFox-Nintendo-Switch-Controller-Dockable/dp/B0899NBQVV
The binbok seems not wider then Split pad pro, which means it'll fit in Satisfye's Elite carrying case for their Zengrip with a little push, they even tested the split pad pro with their own cases on YT too :
ua-cam.com/video/X4Dz5QqYpWY/v-deo.html
Update, yes the Elite carrying case fits binbok perfectly
@@j1883311 Binbok does fit the large satisfy case quite well. I had a satisfy grip and large case before having ordered the Binbok.
I didn't really have to push on it or work at it just lay it in place.. that said the switch console and screen sets a little higher in it.. you do lose a little bit of depth in what you can stuff in the lid pocket but you make that up in what you can stuff under the switch. The large satisfied case has a spot for a full size battery backup underneath but I also fit a 6 ft USB cord and small charger underneath as well... hope that helps someone out.
To add to the above comment..
In the lid pocket I still managed to fit a game cartridge case, an oval earbud case, the center portion to the Binbok controller and the two trigger button caps that go on the rail edge of a joy-con (whatever those are called). You mainly just have to leave a little bit of space for the sticks poking against the lid pocket when closed.

Can you use the Binbok on, say, PC?
I have both. Binbok looks better and more sleeker on the switch. The dpad on it for me though is garbage compared to the split pad pro's dpad. Both feel good generally outside of the dpad. The only thing that sucks to me about the split pad pro is lack of rumble and gyroscope There's another one out that's built like the split pad pro but with gyroscope and rumble. That's called the mobapad m6. If that one is good it's going to be the best thing out for the switch as far as controllers go.
I already have the hori split pad pro but I was wondering does the connector grip that comes with the RGB joy cons work with the hori split pad pro?
it does, it's just reguler grip
Can Hori split pad pro use remotely like a pro controller or RGB to play with TV?
the hori does not support wireless of any kind,
It's only for handheld mode.
hello what is the game u were playing at 1:43?
Thx so much for the comparison bro it really helped me out a ton! :) also quick question what game are you playing at 3:45
That is Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. It came out in 2018. The sequel, Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, came out last year. I just bought Ys VIII and it is corny dialogue but it is a pretty great story and the combat is fun as hell. It reminds me of a final fantasy type game. I only am 20% through Ys VIII and I already can't wait to beat this and get YS IX. From what I've heard both are pretty lengthy so it should provide many hours of gameplay.
I just want to know if rgb ones are good for playing apex legends like the pro controller. But the pro controller is a hassle to take around
Probably better than original joycon, so they may work better for playing on the go
Really love the binboks as they come with the features that split pad doesn't have.
Dpad good for fighting games?
@@BGRecon im not sure. i havent played them with fighting games. i also dont use the dpad often if the game doesnt call for me to press it
@@BGRecon according to some reviews, the d-pad isn't great, especially because there's a couple stickers under the button that make the inputs unreliable. You can take them off by opening the joycons and it supposedly makes it much better. Also their official website says that a new revision with improved d-pad is coming out in a week or 2
@@jhulenoscarantezanamendez6106 they fixed them with their new version. Check out their website! I'm def going to pick the binboks
Took back my horis and ordered the binbok. Horis don't have rumble, button mapping and don't sit level with the screen like the binboks do.
The question for me is wich one is the best for etris, Hori is really good but the dpad is a bit "hard"
the binbok's feel a bit less mushy (and a tiny bit lighter)
I prefer the hori, for it's snes-like feel, but you may like the binbox better,
@@bobdotexe u said the binbok was mushy in the video
What game was that on 1:37 ?
My issue is the split pad is $80 for the controller dock as well vs $50 for the binbok
The split pad is £39.99 in uk
Is using the turbo thing where it spams for you considered as hacking in Minecraft? I don’t Wana get banned
U can automine in minecraft using turbo? You’ve tried it? And no u cant get banned for that
Just got a set of the Binbok and I'm very happy with them. Can't speak from experience as i dont have the Hori spit pad but to me they were a no go because of not having gyro motion control. I don't consider is a feature but more of an incomplete controller without it as so many games are requiring it to some extent. Zelda BOTW for example.
In shopping Amazon notice closely the button and stick placement.. Binbock and the Hori controller were the only ones I found that were spread out more like the official pro controller instead of vertically stacked like the Nintendo joy-cons. Look closely at your pro controllers layout and compare the layout spacing to oversized joy-cons your considering for purchase.
Happy with Binbok for now.. to me it feels much the same as my pro controller in hand and that consistancy helps me to play better in switching between controllers.
And FYI the satisfy grip feels great but still leaves you stuck with the tiny stacked controls of the switches joy-cons... then there's the drift issues. That said Binbok fits the large satisfy case quit well. Good luck to all!
How are your controllers holding up now?
@@Chris-iq5pr So far I haven't had any problems they work fine. That said they stay on my switch full time bo I only play handheld maybe 15% of time.. 20 tops.
To anyone who plays Fighting games. Which one do you prefer?
I'd say the hori would probably hold up better long term,
but you'd be locked to handheld play only.
Hey ! nice video
I have a question what is the game at 6:13
Thank you !

Bro I really like the hori split pad but WHY can’t it be like the binbok and be used without them connected to the switch
They're officially licensed, so Nintendo probably told them they can't add wireless.
The charging thing is for every joy con. It’s to preserve the switch battery life.
so I've been planning to get the binbok ones for my birthday, but I'm on the fence about buying them because I've seen some reviews that say they have dead zone or they wont connect properly, do yours still work properly? or do you prefer the hori ones, I really want to get the binboks because of the motions controls and rumble but tell me your experience, thanks.
I have binbok joycons.They have a little bit of dead zones but I dont find them super noticable and games control fine with them anyway.And I never had connection problems.Im pretty happy with them and would pick them over hori split pad pro any day.
Dang I was hoping the binbok joy cons could remap the right joy con buttons to the left joy con back button. I can't slide jump in apex legends of they don't allow that to happen. That's the reason why I returned the hori split pad pro to Wal-Mart the next day.
Yeah you can you just need to remap them
I want one so badly but there out of stock
sorry to hear that,
I actually delayed this video's release by a month just to wait for the first restock,
They'll probably be back for a thirds wave as well!
how can you have that grip for this product!?? is extra buy!???
the binbok joycon come with a grip, the hori do not.
The binbok i bought developed a walk within a day
Binkbonk RGB is the best because it has Bluetooth and slightly smaller than the other one
1:36 what game is that?
What game is at 0:49
I bought them through the link, they did not arrive and I lost 60$
1:41 what is this game?
What games are you playing in the video? Looks like a lot of fun
The game being played at 1:32 to be exact
Trials of mana
The link doesn't exist shady
Whats that thing that he used to connect the joycons without the switch
If you mean the thing from the thumbnail, then that's just the joycon grip,
it comes free, and dose not serve any function, it just makes them connect together and feel more like a controller.
@@bobdotexe is there any way to buy it and use it with the hori split?
Do they fit on the OLED SWITCH?
Yes.yes they do

the Hori seems have better and larger sticks without that horrible rounded sharp step inside
Binbok and iine who is original?
same manufacture, binbok = iine = omelet
Hori pad pro had the best D-pad I have ever felt for a Nintendo switch. Especially For fighting games. Hori ftw
I wish the hori one had the gyroscope. This is the big thing that is preventing me to buy it. Would also like the rumble but not as mandatory.
The buttons that seems too poor quality on the Binbok really prevent me to buy it. The bad d-pad, I can live with it since I'm barely using it. But ABXY, and the triggers,... No I can't.
The button are clicky but not close to the joy con of nitendo but have really good features that are amazing I was goin to buy hori but all the functions it’s missing i thought that bimbok didn’t have remapping but it does which is amazing for me because I use to play dauntless
That missing gyro is a pretty big deal
Not really
@@shaqueillpierre97 i mean if you play zelda botw or just any fps/tps shooter games it is.
@@barnabasbecsi you deadass don’t need any of that you just making excuses
@@shaqueillpierre97 if you say so maestro
Now if you said skyward then I would believe you or Mario odyssey but you don’t need it for botw or shooting games y’all just being lazy not using your thumbs
Is their any way to use the hori split pad pro with a connector or grip
Nope. It can’t be used wirelessly.
So binbox or hori?
Watching the video will help you decide what best fits you!
What fighting game is that @4:58?
GUILTY GEAR ac+R

these controllers have a big deadzone on the sticks.the split hori do not, they are extremely accurate. it is no accident that they are licensed.
Sadly, with third party controllers, it can vary.
I made sure to calibrate and test the joycons on both, (built-in calibration) and yes, the hori was better in this regard,
but my specific binbok joycon deadzone was not practically large.
Great point about the dead zone mate
My ones don’t even have dead one...
Just wished hori split had docked play option.
I'd rather have a bluetooth capable controller with noticable deadzone than a more accurate but bluetooth incapable controller.
@@bobdotexe with these binbox joycons do they register diagonal inputs good? because a lot of third-party joy-cons if you bring them to the calibration screen and test diagonal input it struggles it's like it wants to go directly up and down or left and right not in between. That's the main problem with third party joycons the hori split pad Pro does not do this.
