Joycons are shells, they derived from the style of how a GBA is made, a GBA is well a shell console. Shell Consoles are rather buttons but when a joystick is given, a joystick is a handicap. All controllers drift in a matter of time, joycons aren't cheaply made but takes lowar space for hardware compared to controllers. You can mod your joycon, but like a GBA, a joystick takes up almost 1/3rd of the entire console. You can think about adding a layer around the stick but in sacrifice of full 360 flexibility, and in order to give the switch a 360 flexibility, some sacrifices need to be made in conclusion, drift.
@@nokafe6667 so basically a hot crap of excuses to accept switch drift, you can still make good controllers as small as the switch without shitty drift, size is not an excuse to sell a faulty product for 70 that doesn't even last a year, average nintendo bootlicker
I just love laying on my bed like an upside down turtoise and play videogames. The concept of two separate controllers is so good... Unfortunately the drifting issue and the price for replacement (outside of the US Nintendo doesn't replace so easy) completely kill it, thanks for this video, good alternatives presented👍
The two best joy cons I've ever used are the split pad pro and the third party joycons with the grip fused into it that's on your video. They have everything the split pad pro doesn't have. There's barely any dead zones on the sticks and they have more travel than the original joysticks. The button d pad is slightly closer together with slightly bigger buttons which makes them easier to press diagonally unlike the original joycons. Good stuff.
I have the Vivefox, Hori Split Pad, and Binbok cons. The oddly named Binbok ones are my favorite. They were $50 and are slightly bigger than Hori, feel more comfortable, have a better grip/texture, have rumble, gyro, turbo, back buttons for mapping, and adjustable LEDs in the thumbsticks. I highly recommend them.
Split pad not having rumble KILLS it for me. Otherwise, they are great. But i'd play with a slightly drifty joycon over splitpad, just for rumble. Such a terrible decision on their part in my opinion
Curious because I seen it on Amazon the other day and considering it ... what did you think of the Zelda themed L joycon you showed at the beginning with the D pad? Is it worthwhile you think? Thanks.
**Also, no gyro-scope in the Hori controllers, you were playing Spaltoon, i use gyro there! Joy-Cons are better than Wii-Motes, but in the scheme of controllers on major consoles, they are small and terrible and the drift issue doesn't help. They can do motion which is kinda okay except i hate motion ha-ha. DualSense has blown its HD rumble away. But yeah ill take two NES pads packed in the box over the two joy-cons as my pads, i cant barely hold them as a "solo" controller. I feel like when buying a Switch, a Pro controller is a must have, and i would have rather had that packed in and just made the Switch like a Lite when portable.
Have you tried connecting some of those wireless Joy-Con to PC? I've been thinking about snagging a pair on AliExpress, so I could use on my PC (via Steam Input, as it supports L+R Joy-Con) and Android devices (separately though) I know that some models work for some people and some models are falsely detected as Pro Controller, so I just really wanted to know which one should *actually* work.
I fkn hate the original j-cons, i had like 5 or 6 pairs, all of which got drift or some other problem within like a month or 2 (or 3), i'm soooo god damn *done* with them, that's why i came here.
@@monsteratesso It’s real simple. Mario Kart 8 you only play with D-pad. Control stick is only functionally good on games where you need tiptoe precision, like Super Mario Odyssey, or Banjo-Kazooie for example.
Hori is trashy feeling(very plastic), the joystick is way too high to rest the thumb on as you can see at 4:24. and it can't wake up the switch from sleep with the home button.

I feel like everyone without exception says "people aren't fond on the size of the joycons", like, yeah, but everybody hates them because of the drift
They are average af controllers but the fact that they simply don't work is what makes them trash.
All my drift is fixed now with the paper trick. Highly recommend
I hate the drift, but I actually like the size. My hands are tiny.
You're the only one who talks to-the-point and didn't try to make it longer. Quality content.
Thanks Brother
“Cheaply made” oh so like the original joycons! We pay $70 for joycon drift.
90$

Wait cheaply made? Look at the drift issue
If these controllers don't have drift I'm sold
That should be one of the main factors when reviewing these

2:30 that thing literally looks like the Sega Gamegear
I love the Nintendo Switch myself
I found the gamecube joycons for 9$ on Amazon XD
dude love your voice and how quick you were to the point instant subscribe

Short and solid. I don't have switch and I'm planning to buy the switch oled. And then buy 3rd party joycon.
Good choice 👍

Just got the hori split pad pro, they had mega man ones and they looked dope so I copped it
What game is the racing game showed at 0:16 ?
Burnout paradise
What's the name of the game in 1:19 it reminds me of robo aleste

I have the same shape as the GC joy cons in the thumbnail but both of them no worky :(
Have you ever tried Nyxi? They look awesome.
I hate the drift, but I actually like the size. My hands are tiny.
The split pad Pro is fantastic but there is no motion controls 😢
Do they get drift?
@@lordgamermon mine did get a drift after a few moments but so comfortable
My first Nintendo switch had joycon drift and now my new oled has a button that won't press. Frustrated.
Which one has the best D pad and can play outside of handheld mode
Any joycons without offset analog sticks??
Do any have nfc readers?
I fkn hate the original j-cons, i had like 5 or 6 pairs, all of which got drift or some other problem within like a month or 2 (or 3), i'm soooo god damn *done* with them, that's why i came here.
Same, My 4th pair just got drift the other day. It's ridiculous this has been happening for so long and has never been addressed.
0:06 You play Mario Kart better with Dpad/Joy Con Arrows. Control stick is not for Mario Kart.
Funny Bc I would kick your ass using control stick, in fact, I will kick anyone’s ass at Mario kart using the control stick
@@monsteratesso It’s real simple. Mario Kart 8 you only play with D-pad. Control stick is only functionally good on games where you need tiptoe precision, like Super Mario Odyssey, or Banjo-Kazooie for example.
@@KepalaMonyet cool no ones cares and I’d still kick your ass at Mario kart using the control stick :)
@@monsteratesso No, you would be constantly looking at my ass because I'm driving in front of you the whole time.
@@KepalaMonyet just use motion controls lmao
Hori is trashy feeling(very plastic), the joystick is way too high to rest the thumb on as you can see at 4:24. and it can't wake up the switch from sleep with the home button.
So which are best I can't afford the normal ones
@Nobody comments are not funny you troglodyte you replied to a 4 mth thread... i don’t think you’re a genius either.
Bout to send in my joycons for the 5th time.
Can 3rd party joycon connect to switch lite?
The wireless ones yes. The ones that require they be connected to the Switch console, no.
Joycon drift
First
