It’s crazy that there’s not a lot of talk on this controller. Thank you for the awesome video man it goes into depth and really helped me get a feel for the controller. Should be shipped here in a couple days can’t wait
Yes I am buying this just for the amiibos, BUT I honestly don't have a pro controller because I'm too casual so this is a start for me to get more invested.
Most 3rd party controllers: “I can do whatever the official one can, except scanning amiibo!” This controller: “I have amiibo inside me…” XD This is really cool, though, especially since a lot of amiibo are no longer available. But I’m surprised Nintendo would allow a 3rd party product with such a function to be made and sold.
honestly i am surprised Nintendo haven't thought of making one for themselves fo those that can't afford Amiibo plus they are using Amiibo less and less these days so it would be an easy way to cash in on it.
@@FuryousD Knowing how much Nintendo overprices their products, I guarantee if they made a controller like this it would probably cost a stupid amount of money. Like as much as a console itself.
@@BirdbrainVT well it would cost atleast as much as a pro controller right now does, maybe even the joycons (which are even more expensive but I mean u are getting two controllers with them).
Interesting I was on the fence about this controller I recently just upgraded from a 3rd party Joycons to the official Joycons last month just so I could use Amiibo's but I am definitely buying this controller this month as it will be a game changer for Animal Crossing New Horizons being able to have everything in one controller.
I got that controller I just updated to version 1.1.8 but the new instructions say run program than plug in controller then ctrl alt p together then update all then wait ten minutes then where it says save do not save click cancel then it says as a new one use a pin at the back of the controller and reset the controller to make sure it works properly. I got all pdf files updated so I do not need to be online to look at the list.
Very cool! But just makes me wonder, how long will you be able to use this controller as intended before the big N shuts down that amiibo combo key website? 🤔
It’s been around for a while and nothing, and if you bought it now, you’d still have access to all the latest amiibo, just if it does get shut down, nothing for there on.
i love Amiibo but they aren't always below $55 which is the cut off for how expensive i will pay out for them and they also aren't always stocked at my local games store or even online (they are much more expensive online) so this would be a godsend if they are constantly updating the website per game basis since i hate not being able to access exclusive items in games. atm i need the Fire Emblem Amiibo for Fire Emblem Engage as the outfits and songs are locked to the specific Fire Emblem Amiibo which i have none of.
My only gripe is the left analog stick is below the directional pad instead of above it like the normal pro controller. It's awkward, being used to Xbox One and Switch Pro Controllers for so long.
agreed, although i am used to playing with Playstation controllers so its more the flipped face buttons that are still the problem (the one problem with nintendo's controllers really, other than drift)
The same as of now. Small lag. No update patches yet. Calibrate does fix drift if you have it. Each release = another amiibo. Updating the Amiibos fr them. They made the new files separate so it does not reset any. It's good for amiibo use, for controller use rn no.
Considering my Pro Controller broke in less than 9 months, under normal use, I'm buying this. Nintendo has agreed to fix my Pro Controller for free. The Switch is fun, but Nintendo really blew it on the Pro Controller and Joy Cons. I've almost never used the Joy Cons on my OLED Switch, yet somehow they still drift, even after calibration. I don't get it. Is it the Joy Cons, the OLED Switch, or something wrong with the software? Do some people get good Switches that don't drift, while others get inherently flawed systems?
The 8-point stickyness is a major bummer for me. The amiibo gimmick is great and the design is nice, but the sticks... Idk I tend to value sticks precision more tbh.
That's a pretty unique idea! It makes it a lot easier to use amiibo when you don't have to go looking for them.

Where do you order ?

Amazing, you got it! Super excited to see how it works!

Just like the cards, Nintendo can't shut all 3rd party creators. Especially since the majority are working out of Shenzen.

@Jo Luffman thank god for China

POV: you want every amiibo made.
You: this is gonna cost me thousands of dollars.
The Amipad: I GOT YOU FAM
Also definitely getting this for Christmas for sure
i wish there was a joycon variant of this

the button combinations remind me of entering cheat codes into GTA
i want this almost exclusively for splatoon 💀

Yup.
@@CTAtechdesk Shame… still an awesome thing to own, while it lasts at least! 👍🏼

Prolly won't be long
How do you update it? I’ve tried everything and no dice!
Does this controller have a function that smart phones don’t? Why is it that there’s no way to only use a phone to ping an Amiibo into a game?
Amazing
This is cool but when I try it for animal crossing it says “failed to read amibo”
i have 850 Amigos in Bin files but no controller
How do I use the brown colour for the animal crossing character I'm confused there's no brown colour option
El mundo dejo de funcionar y no se vincula a la nintendo switch. Que puedo hacer??
Is it decent for smash?
Will this work for the new fire emblem engage?
Its sold out 😢
the 8 POINT JOYSTICK IS FIXED!!! it is NOT AN ISSUE like shown in this video. Both joysticks are precise!! BUY IT
Can you use it on pc too?
Just bought mine, have it charging now
Hello love ur videos, have a question how u updated the amiipad if u don't have a computer ? Tyvm
You don’t
But can you scan amiibo on the controller?
hows the input lag on this compared to switch pro controller?
Is there a way to update it with new amiibos?
Yes. Gets new FW every so often.
Will the update work on Chromebook? I'm not seeing anything pointing either way.
Which buttons do you use to actually use to spoof the amiibos to breath of the wild?
hey there, does it have the amiibo for Mario Sports Superstars? thanks
Hi. Not that I know of.
i love Amiibo but they aren't always below $55 which is the cut off for how expensive i will pay out for them and they also aren't always stocked at my local games store or even online (they are much more expensive online) so this would be a godsend if they are constantly updating the website per game basis since i hate not being able to access exclusive items in games.

You can make your own nfc amiibo
My only gripe is the left analog stick is below the directional pad instead of above it like the normal pro controller. It's awkward, being used to Xbox One and Switch Pro Controllers for so long.
agreed, although i am used to playing with Playstation controllers so its more the flipped face buttons that are still the problem (the one problem with nintendo's controllers really, other than drift)
The UK link doesn't work
Sorry. It goes in and out of stock all the time it’s a struggle to keep up with listings. Got another amiibo device soon.
How is this controller now? I mean after more than a year of using? :)
The same as of now. Small lag. No update patches yet. Calibrate does fix drift if you have it. Each release = another amiibo. Updating the Amiibos fr them. They made the new files separate so it does not reset any. It's good for amiibo use, for controller use rn no.
I'm buying this no questions asked
I rather get the tags the finding confusing codes and updating it through pc the tags are like 5 or less on temu
Get that, limited to joycon though as if you want a controller you need a Pro + cards which is more expensive.
@@CTAtechdesk what tf are pro plus cards

could it also be used as a remote control for a pc?
what’s the Amiipad website
Google Amiipad
So it only works with 13 games?
Works with all games. Diff is the free amiibo function.
@@timothyle4248 gotcha. On the web page he shows in the video it only shows 13 games.
That the others were elsewhere I found. Seemed like they would all be in the same place.
I have a question, can this controller get you banned on Animal Crossing?
I can’t say it won’t unfortunately but I’ve not heard of it happening.
@@CTAtechdesk Ok thank you!

You buy this controller for the amiibos.
Pretty ugly controller with a nice gimmick... I think there are key ring thingies that have a bunch of amibo and an app for nfc phones to program..
This is cool but when I try it for animal crossing it says “failed to read amibo”
