Better Joycon Than Nintendo For $30 Less-NYXI Athena Controller Review

  • Опубліковано 31 бер 2022
  • Better ergonomic grip, 2 remappable rear buttons, turbo function, customizable RGB, bigger face buttons, triggers, and bumpers, and far better thumb sticks, for $30 cheaper than licensed Nintendo joycons. There are a couple of downsides I will mention in this video, but still a far better option for playing your Switch or Switch OLED on the go.

    I bought this like 5 days ago and it even came with a deal for the controller and a case for it so I went for that. Just waitin for it to get here and im super excited! The controllers for the switch are literally my only gripe with the console cause im an Xbox kid at heart and the cramped buttons inches above the camera joystick is the most annoying thing for me so im excited for this controller to get here! Was even happier that it has a case to go with it~

    DUDE!!! AWESOME SAUCE MAN! Thank you man, I've been waiting for this exact thing because the HORI version doesn't have rumbles, and I love rumbles. Oh, by the way, I do have another version made by NEXIGO, and it does the same thing as far as remappable buttons on the rear, you can only remap right side to right side, left side to left side. I think it must not be possible technically to make it be able to remap all to any button. Probably because the Nintendo software makes them able to be 2 separate controllers on the normal JoyCons (just an educated guess) and the aftermarket companies probably can't decode it or don't have permissions to. I ordered one, thanks for the discount!!

  • @jimmyhuang7481
    @jimmyhuang7481 Рік тому

    The two halves do not share any electrical circuitry because, well, they're split in half and the controllers do not communicate to each other, only to the console. When you press a button on one half, the other half has no idea a button is pressed. That is why you can only remap left side commands to right side button press, or vice versa through software right now. Remapping buttons on the same side is easy since they are on the same circuit board. Maybe somebody will make a controller that communicates to the other half as well.

    Please do deadzone tests, not only in the middle, but also at the sides. Like 90% of these controller review video's don't do this important test that many many will be asking for that means go or no go.

    Technically speaking you could have buttons on the right like A and B mapped to the left joycon.
    The Switch itself allows for button mapping so you could remap A to one of the d-pad buttons and then map that button to the back left button.
