    PXN sent me their Fight Stick for a quick looksee, so today I'm putting it through the paces on some classic games for the PC and Nintendo Switch. Unboxing, gameplay, a peek inside and thoughts on this joystick that works on Windows, Mac, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4 and about everything else with a USB port.

    When I hear you intro for the first time ... i need to think about How it's Made.. :p
    PXN really good joystick for the money, fun for beginners and nice it's allround !

      Agree. The smaller form factor is useful for times when I dont want to use one of those monster sticks I keep around.

  • @Frank_D
    @Frank_D 4 роки тому +11

    Most games allow you to use either the d-pad of the joystick for movement, but there are a few games that use them for different functions. The switch allows you to set it to whichever part you want in the latter type of game.
    The one thing I don't like about using universal fight sticks on the switch is that the usually go with the Xbox standard for the placement of the ABXY buttons, so if you're playing the Switch the controls are backwards. I ended up rewiring the 8Bitdo stick I have to fix it, since I'm more likely to use it on the switch.

    • @Retr0Rob
      @Retr0Rob  4 роки тому +1

      You'll notice that in some games the stick flat out does not work in one mode or the other. That said the Switch really does have the A and B flipped, which is kind of annoying. This controller keeps them in the correct physical place, although that means A is marked B...

      @@Retr0Rob I'm glad to hear that they took the Nintendo placement into account. It's actually the way I'm used to. lol I think the big thing is that it's designed to be read right to left like the Japanese language. (At least that's how it was explained to me, which makes sense in a way)

    • @MrScottyTay

      it was xbox and dreamcast that switched the A and B to what we know now on the current Xbox and PC controllers, the original layout is how nintendo still do it, and in fact originally even the playstation was meant to be the same with O as OK and X as incorrect or back, but the west bastardised it (Japan kept it like that) but it still popped up in some games like FFVII and MGS

    Hi I'm trying this controller playing with Arcade 64 on Windows 11, but it has a strange problem with the red B key, if I turn off the pc and turn the pc back on, this key loses the command and no longer works, it is overwritten by the pink X key, it does it with whatever emulator you use. Why is there this flaw? Are there any Solutions?

    Do you think this would be a decent/good option to play fighting games with on the Switch? I'm really unsure on what to buy and since the suggested fight sticks go over 60 euros which is more than what i'm willing to spend i don't really know.
    Can you suggest a better option which doesn't go over 60 if there's any?

      Check the joystick switch (it's the bottom one at 09:58) They are pretty standard parts. as I recall they are not soldered, but clipped. If you can, try swapping that contact for the one on top: If the problem "flips"" you know that switch is the issue and can clean or replace it.

      Sorry I did not see this sooner. You may be able to get this working in Mame or some older games, but for the most part newer Macs basically support official XBOX and PS4 controllers. I hear that Switch controllers may work as well, but I have not really tested those. I have heard that 8Bitdo makes some controllers that work well with Mac as well.
