The New Mobapad M6 HD for Nintendo Switch - Hall Sticks, Real HD Rumble, NFC, Gyro & Back Buttons
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 гру 2023
- This is the second generation Mobapad Gemini JoyCon replacements for Nintendo Switch, and they are by far the best JoyCon replacement option available on the market.
They feature all mechanical face buttons, great dpad, and shoulder buttons with a bit more travel than I’d prefer, but they’re still nice.
They have remappable back buttons, and you're given a choice between a standard dpad or an Xbox style circle pad.
They are the first of their kind to incorporate legitimate HD rumble, and they didn't skimp on the NFC. They have every single feature a JoyCon has sans the rarely used IR sensor.
I forgot to mention that they come with an alternate set of magnetic face plates with octagonal gates. And, of course, they are using hall sensor sticks.

Please read: I don't feel the same about these controllers 1 month later. They work great, but they don’t feel very comfortable for long gaming sessions if you have big hands like me. There needs to be more room for my pinky fingers. Just wanted to put that out there.
Also, for those looking for a case that will work with the M6 you can order one here: a.aliexpress.com/_mNsayqO
Is it at-least better than traditional Joy cons, I’ve been using the ones that come with the device and usually put my pinky under the console/controller for support but the back being flat makes it so uncomfortable, is this atleast an upgrade? I love the way it looks.
Definitely. It is still a massive upgrade over OEM JoyCon without a grip. I think JoyCon with a Skull & Co. or Satisfye grip is a more comfortable experience, but you're still left with the small thumbsticks in that case. The M6 is awesome. I just don't want to mislead people into thinking they're perfect now that I've had some time with them.
I totally agree, the hyperion pro for me is more comfortable to hold. But the buttons on the m6 are awesome..would love a controller that was big like the hyperion with the same clicky buttons and hd rumble as the m6 hd.
I have something coming that might be just that! (minus hd rumble) Hyperion shape with clicky buttons. It should arrive soon!
I'm sorry to hear that. Mine has arrived a day ago and I've already put 6 hrs on this thing lol. Just as expected I'm finally loving handheld gaming on my switch!
Awesome video bro, best review i have seen on youtube so far... and i have seen a lot of reviews... keep up the great work!
Man, keep it up, the quality for an small channel like this is awesome, i see you being one of the greatest with Retrogamecorps, ETA Prime or Taki, good joob, new suscriber. (:
Thank you so much, man! That’s a huge compliment I could only hope to achieve someday. I really appreciate the kind words and the sub! (:
People were asking… “Does have turbo?” Yes. The same function button that you press for mapping is the button to initiate turbo. Just press and hold the the function button on the joycon and press the button you want turbo to be applied to (on the same JoyCon). The first press will initiate turbo on the button. Press them together again and it will put it on auto turbo. Press them a third time to turn turbo off. It works like most turbo buttons do.
The same program button works for the back buttons. Just hold it down for a couple seconds until the light blinks, then press the button (or set of macros) and end it by clicking the back button. If I made that sound confusing please let me know.
It's refreshing to watch someone that is good at mariokart use these hahahah. Great review. I've got a pair on the way.
Just placed my order! Thanks for the vid man
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I got these 3 days ago and... wow! Such a game changer (literally). I absolutely adore the Mobapad M6 HD and cannot even imagine going back to the original joycons. For my hands they're a great fit and I can play for hours in handheld mode, which I couldn't with the og joycons.
Great video. Really informative. Keep it up!
Hey man, thanks so much! Appreciate you checking it out!
Watched this video multiple times, best Mobapad review.
Thank you 🙏
Great vid. Watched all through out the
Awesome thank you!
You don't ramble. I don't even own a Switch and I enjoyed it.
That is so nice of you to say. Thank you! I really do appreciate the kind words.
I agree.. no rambling whatsoever, very informative and enjoyable review
@@cathygarneau thank you! ❤️
Hysteria is a problem nowadays.
What different tham m6s ?@@OGTechNick
I dunno why I'm just seeing this video now..but I've been seeing these mobapad on some other channels, and I totally want these!
How long did it take for you to get them in the mail?
I think about 2-3 weeks. I have to say, as much as I love the HD rumble and mechanical switches, I’ve been enjoying the D9 with the Switch more. I don’t really think they belong in the same category but the D9 has been getting more use lately. My pinky fingers feel like something is missing on the Mobapad and it gets a little tiring after a while. I feel like they didn’t extend the sides down enough, and I think the reason for that is so it can still be dockable… That dock has been a major influence on so many dedicated Switch controllers/JoyCon replacements and always seems to hinder the ergonomics.
@@OGTechNick I see, I see..I still wanna get some tho, lol! 2-3 weeks isn't bad..just watched you open ur rp4 Pro, hehe. Take it easy man!
Thanks, my friend! Let me know if you decide to get them. I have something new coming by a brand called COIORVIS, but it’s a bit less expensive. They also have the HD rumble. We’ll see how they stack up soon.
@@OGTechNick really? I'm gonna have to check em out!
You have a lovely voice, thank you for the thorough video! I have the mobapad purple controller and love it.
Thank you so much for the kind words! That’s awesome you have the purple one. I love the colors and I’m glad you’re enjoying them. I really appreciate you clicking on the video 😊
Your review help with my decision. Absolutely awesome controllers I hope they last awhile. I didn’t think I would like the white but they look sweet on the switch.
I’ve just ordered some of these. They look so good and the icing on the cake would be if they connect to the joycon connector you get with the Switch. I’ve not seen anyone try yet but I sure will.
If you have the correct screwdriver you can take Joy-Con connector apart and remove the handle part from the centre piece. I did this with the Nintendo Joy-Con Charging Grip after I got the Nyxi Hyperion Joy-Pads because their centre piece doesn't have a USB-C port to charge them.
@CurtisJL93 cool. that’s what I did, but I used a cheap DOBE charging grip and just removed the center charging piece.
@@CurtisJL93 that sounds like a great plan. Thanks for the tip. 👍🏻
@@AustinBarnestl319 No problem, I'll be using it once my Mobapad arrives
Nice review!
Thanks man! Nice to get a comment from one of my inspirations. I’ve been watching you on my other channel prior to starting this one.
if you have super mario wonder you can test how good the HD rumble is by going into a level with those sound blocks, the notes are very clear on the original joycon and pro controller but with the mobapad chitu and M9 it lacks a bit of detail, I wonder if this has a better rumble...@@OGTechNick
@@VKsChannel Great idea. I’ll try that!
Best controller hands down. I just received it today and the product feels so premium. the ergonomics is the best for me. I have Nyxi Hyperion Pro, Crkd Nitrodeck, Binbok, Binbok Slim, and Hori Split pad pro. This is the best of all of them. The ergonomics is in between Binbok and Binbok slim with Nyxi Hyperion Pro and Nitrodeck joystick hall effects. It's got the best of both worlds. I'm buying a 2nd pair just in case they sell out. Their website doesn't look impressive so I do not know if this is a big company. I rather get a 2nd pair than find out they stop making them (I hope not)
I am glad to see this video finally. I LOVE my Retroflag but the lack of data pass through and inability to dock kill it for me. I find myself having to take off the dock for data transfers and using the port to ‘dock’ into my covert dock. I was between this and the M6S and I think you’ve pushed me over.
I will also add I have the v1 version so it doesn’t completely fit within the Retroflag deck. I use foam ear protectors to snugly fit it in place with no wobble.
Great review, thank you so much! Do you have recommendations for a center grip for charging and playing in docked mode? I like the idea of Nyxi Hyperion Pro, but I've been reading and watching that these are better as controllers, but lack the center piece/grip.
It seems kinda hard to find them these days, but I took a few center charging pieces off of the older DOBE JoyCon charging grips, and they work well. Most of the other charging pieces sold alone have that "A" shape and wouldn't work very well IMHO. Nyxi now sells a center charging piece for their Wizard, and I've used it with the mobapad, but it looks a bit awkward and bulges out in the back. I hope Nyxi does the same thing for the Hyperion because a standard central charging rail is all the Mobapad really needs. If you can still find a DOBE charging grip, removing its central piece is my best suggestion though. If you do, keep in mind that the underside of the charging piece has a hole in the plastic. It can just be covered with tape or whatever you want. I used one of those adhesive rings from the $1 store designed to help with holding a cellphone. It works well and the ring even comes in handy from time to time.
I have some binbok joycons and exactly the same thing happens with the dpad facing exactly the same side as in the video (hadouken), I was just looking for a video that would show if you can use powers in a fighting game.
helllo there man, thanks for the review
te R/ZR-L/ZL triggers are good?
just saw another reviewer talking about the gap they have and I got kinda afraid
watching you play it seemed pretty good though
They feel good to me. Ergonomics are somewhat subjective but I haven’t had a problem with the triggers. I will say I wish there was a little more to grab onto for my pinky fingers though. Long sessions start to get a little fatiguing.
Definitely the best joycons, and i bought the cheaper M6s versions. But for the me, the 8bitdo Ultimate is still the best for having all the same features (minus amiibo), but with Full button/stick remappability, which the mobapad sortof has, but 8bitdo's can also invert stick axis. I did leave a comment with their customer support asking for that, and mobapad did say they're possibly working on it, along with pc controllers. I just hope it means its coming to their nintendo controllers too
Thank you for playing a game with those. Also what cases you recommend to fit those mobapads hd
I think any of the cases that can be used with the Binbok controllers, or the NYXI Hyperion will fit these. They’re about the same size so the Switch with the M6 on should fit well.
What center piece do you recommend to connect the controller as one? I usually play my switch as a single controller seperated from the screen. Great review
My best recommendation is to buy a cheap DOBE charging grip and remove its center piece. The other charging pieces are all “V shaped” and really mess with the ergonomics. If you have a set of Binkboks with the plain black center piece that’ll work too, but it’ll be a little wider than the piece on the DOBE grip and feels less comfortable as a full controller like that, not to mention it won’t charge and DOBE one will. I don’t think the battery life is great on the M6 and maybe that’s why they didn’t include their own center piece?
If you do take my advice for the DOBE charging center piece, you’ll have to cover a square hole on the back of it with something after removing it from the original grip (I used one of those adhesive finger rings for a cell phone purchased at the $1 store)
Great video bro! Btw what is that purple controller that is nitrodeck-like? Looks dope i wanna get one
Thanks man! That’s the GameCube inspired controller by RetroFlag. It’s on sale for $35US at the link below. If that link doesn’t work for you, shop around because some places sell it for a lot more than others

@@OGTechNick that's dope. Already hit that subscribe button. Thanks again man and keep it up 💯🔥
Thanks for the sub!🙏
Question, in the link the purple blue controller is cheaper, is that the mark 1 model and the more expensive one (white) the mark 2?
Yes. The purple/blue is has standard rumble and a different microswitch under the buttons. Unless you really value HD rumble, or hate the color, the purple/blue seem to be pretty good for a lot less money.
This looks cool but.. do they have a carrying case for it as well? Hassle to always take it out when I go to the office or out and about..
They do sell cases for their controllers/gamepads but I won’t be taking this out of the house much, if ever. I hardly ever take my Switch out with regular JoyCon on it. It’s just so big. Its nice to play on the couch or in bed. Sometimes handhelds actually feel more immersive than monitors/televisions. I can understand taking it on travels but the Mobapad would take up too much space for somebody who plays on the go daily IMO.
I think they're more commonly referred to as the M6 HD. It's a good overview and I enjoyed watching your gameplay - I want other people to be able to find it and not sure how many people will search for it as the Gemini 2.
Thank you! I’m going to change the title. I have that in the hashtags but I’ll take your word for it. I’m new to the game. Appreciate the help!
Did you ever try Street Fighter with the dish?
Hello i have a genuine question to ask which joycon’s would you suggest to purchase i’m torn between 2 joycons which are the Nyxi pro and the Mobapad m6 hd? Which one would you suggest more and why?
I’d go with the Mobapad M6HD. The Nyxi Pro feels a bit more comfortable in the hands but the M6HD is much more premium. Much better quality sticks (Nyxi pro has slippery plastic sticks that require thumbcap grips) M6HD also has nice mechanical buttons, and real hd rumble. I have another video showcasing some Mobapad products coming next week. I’ll be talking some more about the M6HD in that video.
@OGTechNick are you able to run a turbo on auto on one side and then a macro on auto on the other side? I am looking to buy some joycons for use with a gpd win mini pc to play ARPGS like path of exile and diablo 4 and I want to try to run a movement turbo constantly with the left and then my attacks and flasks on the right side as a macro so I can theoretically just move the joystick around to do everything I need. It seems like either these or the Doyoki ones would be the only joycons that might be able to work for that purpose as they have the turbo/macro functions and work with pc/steam unlike the hyperions.
Also do you know if there is any way to charge these without docking on the switch? Could the Doyoki charging middle grip work on them to add a usb c port?
Macros and auto turbo definitely work but I’ll try to figure out how to test that to confirm 100%. I’m pretty sure it’ll work as each side works independently.
As far as charging goes, I bought a $5 DOBE charging grip and took the center charging rail off of the grip. It charges the M6 perfectly and serves as a full controller if you ever wanted to use it that way. I don’t know why they didn’t include a charging option, being that these can be used for things other than the Switch. It doesn’t seem too smart of them. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them release a central charging piece down the line, the same way NYXI did with the Wizard. I have that one as well but it’s not a good fit because it’s thick and sticks out in the back. The DOBE grip is a cheap and easy solution that works well.
I’m juggling a few things here right now but I do have some other requests to test on the M6 HD, so I’ll get on it soon and try to cover it all.
@@OGTechNick Thanks a ton for your super fast reply! I appreciate that you're willing to confirm my question but I also agree that it should work as they are independent.
Another question in the macro realm if you don't mind also testing when you get around to it, is which buttons are actually able to be put into the macro? Is it only the face buttons and triggers or can you also macro the + - buttons too? I'm curious if you can remap the + and - if you're using these on pc and have them also be able to be included into a macro assigned to the back button. Not a huge deal but figured id ask since you might be testing some of these things in the future anyway.
Thanks again for your responses and for making these videos, they are extremely helpful!
Could you test the angles on the octagonal gate? Every third party controller I’ve had has been off by just a little bit.
Update: I picked up a pair of these and they’re perfectly playable for smash bros. They are ever so slightly off but not enough for most games to notice. Mine actually have the perfect soft drift angle for mk8d so I consider the imperfections a plus.
Sure. I’ll test them tonight and get back to you. I’ll film a short video to show the results.
@@OGTechNick Thank you! It wouldn’t be a huge dealbreaker for me but smash on the go would be nice.
Great review! Do you have a discount code that we can use to get this a bit cheaper and also support you?
Thank you. Sorry. I purchased it at full price and don’t have any connection with the sellers yet. The link I ordered from is no longer up so I updated the link to another seller.
I am currently using the blue and purple Mobapad M6S, and it's the best joycons i ever owned. I do highly recommend that you use thumbcaps on your M6HD as the analog sticks are white colored and are very susceptible to dirt and grime 🙂
Such a good recommendation. They are so crispy white and I want to keep them that way. After the first day of testing them I scrambled to find some that fit. I could only find one of those free paw print ones that around the house so I’m using it on the left stick for the time being. The Skull & Co. brand I have for Switch Pro Controller are a little too loose. Do you have any recommendations?
@@OGTechNick I am using the cute animal paw thumbcaps meant for Switch Pro and PS4 for my M6S now and they fit well. I just uploaded a vid under my profile for you. I have seen the same thumbcaps selling on AliExpress. I heard that the ones for Joycons are too small for our M6HD/S 🙂
@@buttertoes1829 May I ask.. do you have a carrying case that can fit them? While the mobapad m6 hd and the switch combine
@@muriel24mj87 Afraid not. I use a generic drawstring pouch to keep my Switch console.
Plug in the charger in your switch and without running a game listen to the back of the M6S and let me know if you hear motor chatter. (only while plugged in)
Nice vid, ¿Do you know how to adjust the rumble on the m6 hd?
Thanks for watching. I don’t think you can raise or lower the intensity of the HD rumble. You can turn vibration off on Switch settings, but unfortunately I think that’s the only other option.
Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it. There's another good one on youtube in Chinese with English subtitles, but it's made by the manufacturer so who knows if it's honest haha. I have tried SO many joycons and they all have huge flaws, I'm very excited to try these. My favorite that I've tried so far are the smaller Binbok ones with Hall Effect sticks (they're hard to find and not on the official website for some reason), but they dosconnect unexpectedly often and are generally poor quality. It's a bummer that you haven't tried the Hori Split Pad Compact, because they are the most comfortable for my slender hands, and I'm wondering how these compare. The NYXI/Binbok (non-GameCube) ones are great for wireless, but too big for handheld mode, in my opinion. How do these compare? I'd also be interested in seeing a review for the case that is sold for these :)
Can we use the tomtoc hori split pad compact case for this? If not, is there any other case you can recommend?
I don't know about the tomtoc because they have so many different devices but the split pad case should work. If not, most of the cases designed for the nyxi and binbok joycon replacements should work.
Does the package include the middle connecting part to combine the left and right pieces in a single controller, when playing wireless?
Unfortunately, no. I have a few spare middle pieces from Binboks and other 3rd party JoyCon. I also removed the middle piece from a $5 DOBE charging grip to use with it. I don’t understand why they didn’t include one.
@@OGTechNick Good to know, I also have a few pieces left from old binbok controllers, but it seems as a very weird omission.
The thing about testing precise controllers with Ultra Street Fighter 2; is that game was made with the standard joycon in mind; which is made easier to pull off moves on a flawed joycon. As soon as you use a better controller, it is slightly off. You are better off testing the dpad with SF anniversary collection.
Wow, I had no idea it was designed that way. This explains why it feels so easy to pull off moves in Ultra, compared to any other version of Street Fighter, especially with JoyCon. Thanks for letting me know. I have 4 controllers here that need testing/reviews right now. I'll be using the anniversary collection from now on. I appreciate the comment!
That's a lie!
@redcrimson1028 Why else has it not been ported to anything else and is only on the Switch? And no, HD remix is not the same as this version. This game was custom made for the Switch and was not just a lazy port everyone initially thought it was.
How do the bumpers feel? I've seen another review which said they have excessive travel
After spending more time with it, I'd have to agree. The bumpers and triggers feel like they have more travel than necessary, especially with these microswitches. I also feel like the ergonomics are a little bit off, not leaving enough room for my pinky fingers. I should make an updated video explaining how I feel one month later without the rose colored glasses on.
Still the best Joycon alternative availiable trhough Im assuming?@@OGTechNick
Do these play wirelessly off the system? Too bad this doesn’t come with a mid part to make it a singular controller also
They do play wirelessly, separately and paired together. It is a shame they didn’t include a charging rail. I chose to DIY center charging rail by removing one from a inexpensive DOBE JoyCon charging grip. It works perfectly well to charge them and allows for them to be used as a single controller now.
Are you doing the Doyoky Lumos joy cons?
I’d be happy to if they send me a review copy but I won’t be ordering a set.
Whats the difference between the HD and the M6s? Is it just the hd rumble and the switches?
Yeah, just HD rumble and the different microswitches. The only other difference is the color.
What are the purple controllers in the video? I couldnt find where you named them.
Must be the Retroflag...
Yes, that is the Retroflag. My bad. I should've mentioned the name.
@@OGTechNick there are no mappable paddles on the back of the Retroflag, correct?
how good we talkin on the HD rumble
Really good! Best I've ever felt outside of JoyCon or Pro Controller. Feels the same, but these are a bit more hollow so there's a very slight difference
Ima get a nitro deck. Would u choose the nitrodeck , or nitro plus?
Definitely Nitro Plus. There were a lot of issues with the original Nitro Deck, and I think they listened to the community and made some significant improvements. I'm looking forward to it.
i quite like the rambling(and fumbling because i would do the same and i get to see how intuitive the product is at the same time) because you aren't an expert and say what you think about it and opinions about the product but i will request that if you could add a screenshot of the page where you could see the seller and the item because the names can be quite wierd on aliexpress and every seller can have some minor changes(and because i live in northern europe so all the sellers don't wan't to ship here or sell here always). But great work and the video quality has improved tremendously from your first video and i hope for it to get better the more experience you get with doing these videos and i wish you a happy new year
and nice hat that you can see when the switch screen in dark
Lol thank you, my friend!
It would be great if these controllers could also be adapted to work with phones, if there were any accessory for that. Can it work with PC?
Ya, they can work with PC and also with modern Android and iPhones. I have a telescopic joycon rail accessory that you add to your phone so you can use them on it. It works great. They just need to both be paired individually and they work perfectly. 👍
Since allot of people ask is there a possibly way you could show how to mod the dobe bridge for this?
Sure. I’ll try to get to that soon. Sorry for the late reply
@@OGTechNick thanks! Also I finally got mine I love them but the way they fit seems overly tight!
I agree they are really tight. One good thing about that is that on regular JoyCon, the Dobe bridge is a bit wobbly. It feels much more secure with these rails.
@matthewburno now that I’m thinking about it Doyoky.com sells charging bridges for their GameCube style JoyCon that are a bit less wide. I might include that as an option in a future video.
How do the ergonomics compare to a skull & co grip? I have XL hands so that is my biggest concern.
Hey. You caught me in a moment where I can immediately respond. I want to because I think people should know, I don’t love them anymore. Honestly. Skull & Co. w/ the largest grips is so much more comfortable to me. They should’ve made room for the pinky fingers. It’s not great.
Thanks for the quick reply! Now regretting my purchase yesterday lol.
@tobiasjansen9117 man I’m so sorry. I feel bad. This is a lesson for me to remember to update my older videos with pinned comments. I just added one. I’m sorry if it was me that inspired you to purchase. I’m hoping you’ll still like them.
No worries my guy! Worst case scenario is I’m down $100 (with case). Could sell for $80 probably. Best case scenario is I love em! Keep up the videos though!
So no wobble at the rails right? I know I saw you mention it but just asking again cause that’s the one thing all channels don’t test, and it’s annoying af!
Still no wobble at all. They slide on nice and tight. They do slide down a little easier than that first initial connection in the video, but still super tight. 👌
hey man whats the sticker you have around the borders of your switch screen? and the purple game grip?
It's a tempered glass screen protector with Zelda: BOTW bezel art. There are a variety of designs, but some are sold out. Now that the OG Switch is getting old, I don't think they're making these anymore. The BOTW design I have here is still available, though:

@@OGTechNick oh sick, ty!!
I just bought the NitroDeck. I wish I knew about this first
Aw man. I hear they have a new one coming out where they improved the rumble and moved the right stick above the face buttons for better ergonomics.
Why back holder in the back of joypad is missing? because it makes me feel safe when holding only one hand
I don't why they made the decision to remove the back pieces, but the slide on very securely. They are much more secure than any JoyCon I've ever felt on the Switch.
@@OGTechNick i see, but isn't that a nice feature? I have an omelette joypad and it is comfortable, but I prefer the Hori Split Pad Pro for my daily use, because it makes me feel safe.
It is a very nice feature, having that added security. I wish they would’ve included it like they did on the Gemini. I try to avoid holding my Switch with one hand because even though the M6 slide very tight on the railing, I still fear they will loosen over time.
I have a few omelette style joypads. One looks identical to the Nyxi Hyperions and another is the Retroflag GameCube design. This Retroflag feels extremely secure in one hand, but I see it scratches the rails on the OLED Switch model. I have V2 model. It also doesn’t have back buttons which is something I wish it had. I returned the original SPP years ago because it felt too big and flat for my hands, but I think the compact looks perfect. I am still tempted to get it.
Can you take off the thumbstick caps/tops of the sticks?
Yeah, they pop off. I don't know where to get proper replacements, though. I'd like to get some black caps.
How do you use those controllers individually
Good question. I purchased a cheap DOBE charging grip a long time ago and then removed the center charging rail. I use it for all the bigger JoyCon alternatives. You can get one for like $5US. I don’t know why they don’t include one with the set. My only guess is the batteries aren’t very large. That’s something I should look into, because I rarely use them in docked mode.
I heard people say that mobapad m6 HD drains the switch battery very fast. Is this true?? 😢
I’d have to do some tests to see for sure. It’s possible they have smaller batteries inside than official JoyCon so they end up using more of the Switch’s battery. Thinking about that now, it’s probably true.
Have you tried the nyxi hyperion? If so which on do you prefer?
I have, but not the ones with the hall sensor sticks. They Hyperion are comfortable, maybe even more so, but I like M6 HD better because the mechanical buttons feel so good, and I love the linear HD rumble.
Can you do comparison between them? Tia
I have a set coming that has an identical shape to Hyperion but with a different dpad and clicky buttons. I don't have the original Hyperion anymore, but these will serve the same purpose for comparison of the ergonomics. I'm also not loving the M6 as much anymore. I'm realizing that my pinky fingers need more room. The Hyperion already wins in regards to ergonomics, but I'll still do a video comparing them along with a few other JoyCon alternatives.
@@OGTechNick I got small to medium hands and they say from reviews it’ll be perfect for me 😅
Which ones, M6 or Hyperion? If you have smaller hands you probably won’t have any problems with the M6 but I think a lot of it has to do with how we play too. In my lap, the M6 feels great, resting in my palms. But if I have to hold it up I realize there’s no grip for my pinkys… If that makes any sense 😅
@OGTechNick I believe I found a bug in the M6-HD. Plug charger in the SWITCH and without any game running listen to the back of any of the JoyCons. Start with LEFT one, seems louder. Notice that the linear motors are constantly running/chattering? (Just like a digital servo chatter) This does not happen when there is no external charger plugged in. Let me know if yours makes this noise. Maybe you can send the company an email for a firmware update etc.
Thank you for letting me know. I'm going to check immediately when I get in tonight. I'll let you know what happens.
Well? did you hear it? Be sure to put your ear on the back of the JoyCon while USB-C charger is connected. Waiting to hear from you. (FW v1.14) @@OGTechNick
I just tested it. Mine are completely silent on both sides. How can you tell what firmware you're using?
I cant reply, as soon as I post detailed instructions my post gets deleted..
Let me try simplified: iOS Mobapad app, leave joysticks attached to switch and it will find them.@@OGTechNick
@krisiluttinen I saw your comment before it was removed. Man, UA-cam is deleting comments just like Reddit now? That sucks. Thanks for letting me know. I haven't installed the app yet. I'll install it tonight and see. Have there been any firmware updates? I'm wondering if a firmware update caused the issue for you. If so, I'll try my best to contact the manufacturer and see if they can provide a solution.
I have the same but my left joycon rumble is lower than right joycon rumble. Yours have the same problem?
Aw man, that sucks. It makes me wonder if there is a quality control concern to be had. I’ve been feeling like my right side is vibrating lower than my left. Certain games make it more/less noticeable than others though. If you go to “find controllers” and click each one they should have a different frequency set for that feature and the right JoyCon has always been the lower frequency one for the “find controllers” vibration. If you haven’t already, please try testing that to see. If your right motor is stronger, I have a feeling they somehow programmed the right motor for the left, and the left one for the right.
All that being said, certain games still do feel a bit “more off” for me with the lower intensity on the right side than it would in the exact same situation with an OEM (R) JoyCon.
I’m going to have to do some tests. Let me know your results if you get a chance. I’m curious about what’s going on here.
I would test it with more games. I actually have a few games that rumble almost exclusively on one side.
Exclusively on the right? Because I’ve noticed at least one that seems to vibrate exclusively on the left (Prince or Persia Demo)
I’ll test more soon
@@OGTechNick Oh I was talking about regular Joy-Cons! I just meant some games are like that! Basically it might be the games fault and NOT the controller's in some cases.
@thinkhector ohh gotcha. Yeah, you’re definitely not wrong with official JoyCon. I don’t notice it too often but there are definitely games where one is working and the other is barely doing anything at all.
Let me know if you try the Prince of Persia demo and if it’s like that for you with JoyCon, where the left rumbles but not the right. I think it’s probably a glitch in the demo or the game is just designed that way.
Does the mobapad wiggle alot when Attached to the oled?
No. They slide on nice and tight.
@@OGTechNick
Is it possible to use some kind of nintendo switch body protector while having the mobapad attached to the oled?
do your pinky’s get fatigued holding them
Most definitely. The more I use them the more I wish they had “legs”.
Rose colored glasses on day one… I still like them but the ergonomics aren’t the best.
I just uploaded a video on the BSP-D9 and that thing has legs. A PlayStation Portal clone for Switch and mobile gaming. Hall sticks, analog triggers… Super comfortable. No pinky fatigue there, I’m sure about this one.
Can you dock the switch with these attached?
Yes. No problem.
I like my "nightmare deck" 🤣🤣🤣
Lol. I’m sorry. No offense.
@@OGTechNick Nah, none taken, it amused me lol everyone has different taste. Nice video btw
@LissyRedgown cool. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Are you using a the Nintendo switch v2 do you have the oled switch
Yeah it’s a V2. I don’t have an OLED Switch
Hmm, maybe that motor chatter from the M6 HD is only happening on the OLED model. @@OGTechNick
Are the ABXY buttons soft?
They’re clicky, but also mushy. Hard to describe, but not ideal for me.
I bought these but I get no vibration how do I fix that for my games
Their vibration should just work with the Switch. Could you possibly have vibration setting turned off in the controller settings on your Switch itself? I cant think of any other reason they wouldn’t vibrate unless there is a hotkey combination to toggle rumble off that I’m unaware of.
unfortunately it's not available in Indonesia 😥
That is unfortunate. Thanks for checking out the video!
The split compact has one major con, the B button is way too close to the right stick.
Yeah, that would bug me. Appreciate the heads up!
Can anyone justify Mobapad M6 HD rumble versus the rumble in the m6 s? Lol that's a $30 price gap for a "premium " version of high definition vibration?? Lol honestly, is that worth it? Can't be😭🏁
I'd also like to know how the M6 S rumble feels.
@OGTechNick one thing I've been seeing is between the two versions ONLY the HD version people experience issues with rumble, even after having it updated. I'm really leaning towards the S version. Not only for the 30$ cheaper but I was thinking like hmm lol how many switch games actually use the "high definition " feature 🤔. It would have to be the majority ONLY IF the original joycons had the same feature cuz they were there from start.
I can’t map the back button, i don’t know how 😢
I will be doing a special Mobapad video soon, showcasing their new A1 Switch Dock w/ wireless controller charging, along with the M6HD and Chitu HD and Nintendo Pro Controller. In that video, I'll go over how to map the back buttons on the M6 HD since I also can't remember off the top of my head. Stay tuned!
Do they have turbo?
Yes, it does have turbo. The same button that you press for mapping is the button to initiate turbo. Just press and hold the the program button on the joycon and press the button you want it to be applied to (on the same JoyCon). The first press will initiate turbo on the button. Press them together again and it will put it on auto turbo. Press a third time to turn it off. It works like most turbo buttons. The same program button works for the back buttons. Just hold it down for a couple seconds until the light blinks, then press the button (or set of macros) and end it by clicking the back button. If I made that sound confusing please let me know.
Thanks! Debating between these, the NYXI Hyperion, and the BINBOK/DOYOKY. I hope they come to amazon soon!@@OGTechNick
@ryanothman7708 I think they will eventually. Probably pretty soon. Hope you find exactly what you like and what works best for you!
How's your retroflag?
I love the RetroFlag. Best cradle style controller for Switch.
@@OGTechNick I saw your update comment on this video about the comfortability of m6 hd. Would now choose the retroflag over the m6 hd now?
does it have amiibo support
Yes it has NFC for Amiibo. It has everything a JoyCon has except for the IR sensor.
oh yeah its has nfc scanners
These were a huge disappointment for me. The intrusive overly loud Mouse clicking sound coming from nearly ever button was driving me bonkers, especialy when you're using the D-pad. And i just couldn't get on board with the squishy L1 & R1 buttons, and weird sharp ended flat L2 & R2 triggers which felt pretty awkward to use.
Analog sticks are very nice, D-pad works great(But sounds awful. "click! click! click!"), it's not that comfortable(Hate the non-smooth backings and it's a bit bulky), and it includes HD Rumble & Gyro which are typically lacking from nearly every other alternative to Nintendo's own joy-con's, which is fantastic. But ultimately the loud and annoying mouse clicky buttons and lousy shoulder buttons did me in.
I hear you. No pun intended. A lot of people hate the clicky buttons. I used to when I was in a situation where I had to be considerate of other people around me, but if that's not a factor, the mouse click sound doesn't bother me. After some time with them, I learned that they're not for me either. Mostly from an ergonomics standpoint. I have to be careful about the rose-colored glasses I'm subconsciously wearing during real unboxings. I might stick to official reviews instead. It will give me more time to test and form an accurate assessment in the end.
@@OGTechNick
That's another issue i was having as well, the ergonomics/form factor. It eventually gets tiresome to hold after a while due to the bulk and wider placement(s) and i don't like the rougher indentations/grip on each controller handle either. I ended up giving them to my niece, and she loved them at first. But just after a couple of weeks or so, she went back to using the Joy-Con's. :P
New unboxings are always exciting, and can sometimes come with a bit of bias, obviously with the peeps who have been handed a free product and decide to shill it up, Money Talks after all. It's just refreshing hearing somebody else having some what of a similar negative opinion, because typically all i see is praise for the moba's.
Its true this is the true deadzone check test subscribe because of this
Thanks! I really appreciate the sub
The controller may be good, but it prolly won't fit in the original case. I still like the joycons.
What is the original case?
For example, the case that you originally bought for your Switch, in which you can put your Switch including the Joycons that are connected to the Switch. There is also an original case by nintendo. I don't think these controllers here shown in the videos would fit into it with the switch.@@OGTechNick
I understand. That’s true. These are way too big for a standard Nintendo Switch case. A lot of the 3rd party JoyCon offer an optional case and I have a couple from Binbok that are much bigger and work well. Mobapad sells a big case for their previous Gemini JoyCon so they’ll probably start selling cases for the M6 soon. Unfortunately it’ll probably be at least another $20.
Does it fit in the previous mobapad case?
@@fedecopo1595 I don’t have the previous case but I think it would. They’re about the same size. The only way I think it wouldn’t fit is if the original case has a specific form fitting interior.
The click sounds from the buttons are too off putting. I would get it ASAP if they do a version that isn’t the “mechanical button” type. Also preferably a black or other dark colour scheme
I understand where you’re coming from. The button feel is a subjective one, but the more I use it the more I realize how much better a nice quality silicone membrane button press feels. As long as they’re not badly implemented and mushy I prefer rubber membranes better too. Also, I couldn’t agree with you more about the color. This controller is guaranteed to look filthy after heavy use by any normal person. I put thumbstick grips over the caps to protect the white sticks. I’d’ say I hope they release black faceplates in the future, but to be honest with you.. I’ve stopped using the M6 altogether. I’ve been using the D9 telescopic controller and I don’t care what anybody says about its looks. It’s the most comfortable way I’ve ever played my Switch portably. The buttons, sticks and dpad all feel so good. The rumble set to its lowest setting feels really nice too. Not HD but it’s comfortable.
The link is dead
That’s what happens when they sell out. I’ve switched the link twice now. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll try to find another link, but also, just try searching Mobapad M6 HD on AliExpress. If they’re not sold out you’ll find them.
Okay I just updated the link again. It’s available by the seller I have posted in the video description. Hurry!
Try to remove the cross Dpad with your hand. It is impossible.
Haha. Hook your fingernail under the notch on the left side of the dpad. It’s on pretty good but actually pops off pretty easy that way.
@@OGTechNickI did it and is impossible. I pull it very, very hard and it never moves a bit, nothing and I almost break it. I had to use a knife to pull it out. What bothers me the most is that the Mobapad Chitu has two notches and is very easy to pull it out. This, however, don't. The same happened to two friends of mine.
@alfredoalbert7032 sorry to hear that. I just tried and mine popped right off.
Click click click click everywhere 😂 probably getting it 😎
i can't really give a professional comments or give you proper advice but i will give you my two cents about videos, but almost 40 min video is quite long and i have no knowledge about your video editing skills or anything but i wouldn't mind if you had a shorter video where you make the gaming section about a 1 min long for each game and say your opinions how you felt about the product during that game on and short impression in general and then post these kind of videos where you have almost nonedited fotage where you fumble and ramble on. The shorter vidoes could be just short clips from the longer video where you did some simple voice overs or a totally different footage.
This is good advice, and was essentially my plan. Things have been busy around here and I haven’t allowed myself the time to learn video editing and I instead end up using that time making unfinished products videos and releasing them to the public. Probably a bad idea… I should’ve started with some editing knowledge. I’m going to find a balance and get that sorted out. It is going to limit the amount of content I release for a while but, you’re right. I know most people won’t want to sit through a 40 minute video. Time flies while I’m filming too. It always feels like 15 minutes until I see the clock. I like speaking naturally and unscripted so I lose track. I might have to make myself seem a little more generic like my successful competitors. I hope to find an enjoyable way to do these presentations without being too similar to the other channels posting the same type of content. There’s a lot more work involved in this hobby than I anticipated. I will likely take some time off in the new year to begin the process of learning to edit. I’m apprehensive to post anything else until then because I get similar comments to yours often, just not in such a kind and respectful way. I appreciate you. Thanks so much for your comments and I’m really glad you like my hat :) Have a happy new year!
@@OGTechNick i don't think you should stop making these rambling type of videos at all because they are you but i think that shorter and more thought out video later where you could take feedback from these videos into account and answer questions. You could just title the longer videos something like "Spewing out my thoughts about (insert product here)" or "First impressions and opinions/ramblings about (insert product here)" and later make a proper review video where you have editing and more thought out game plan that are like 5-15 min long
I don't find his videos to be rambling, they are quite informative and genuine. It is refreshing to see someone not be so generic, glossed over, edited and scripted. Just a difference of opinion, I guess.
@@cathygarneau i call them rambling because he pointed it out himself in the video but i do enjoy watching them and even if i will never get a switch myself i still watched the whole video because i found it really informative and enjoyable
@@tikkanikke and @cathygarneau I love you guys ❤️
switch is out ... play on new stuff guys , like rog ally, steamdevk or legion go 😂😂😂😂
Or have a normal pc and a switch, best of both worlds
You didn't get the joycons because nobody was talking about them? Are you serious😂? Wow! If you see something you line just get it! Be the first to review it then! That's what i do. I never wait for somebody else's opinion.
Money doesn’t grow on trees homie. I’m just starting out here.
