    I have the Power A Controller for when docked, and the Hori for handheld mode, seems to work for me. Had I know about the Binbok before buying the the Power A when I bought my switch, I would have gone with that. Great video man..👍 funny and informative.

    I've been using the horis since they released. Use them every day to play smash handheld and other games.
    One stick eventually wasn't as responsive after a year but still usable. I somehow managed to crack the thumbstick but I think the switch may have been. Dropped somehow. I'd highly recommend them. Do wish they had gyro and rumble at least. I'll have to try the binboks one day.

    I personally went with the split pad pro. When I dock it's when I'm playing with the kids then we use our 2 pro controllers, then if we need more players we bust out the joy cons. So I would say that if you have a pro controller then the Hori is a solid option as well if you do play docked because neither of these in my opinion can really compare to the pro controller.

    Hmm… this is a tough one for me. I play my switch portably like 90% of the time, when I dock it, I use my pro controller. The fact that the binboks can be used while not attached to the switch means nothing to me. I also don’t care about rumble, so the fact that the hori doesn’t have it isn’t a factor for me either. Gyro, although I very rarely use it (90% of the games I play don’t require it at all) it seems like something hori should’ve included. On top of all of this, I use a Satisfye grip, which is amazing and feels incredible. So I’m not sure if I should even get one of these and make the grip obsolete. I think the one thing nudging me towards the hori joy cons is the better d-pad, cus I love my retro stuff, and the higher quality feeling joysticks and buttons.

    • @geodude6244

      Binboks better in everyway except joysticks. Hori has slightly larger and precise ones. Both have a noticeable deadzone. But binbok has grippy texture on thumb stick hori doesn't. If you play a shooter utilizing gyro binbok might be the winner. I even would say I like there d pad.

I wanted to look more into binbok but its really hard to get here where i live 😭
    And honestly, not having an rgb or able to turn it off is amazing for me. Cuz imo rgb only really looks good on pc setups. Console setups with rgb just feels odd to say the least but i dont hate it whatsoever. Just prefer the ones that doesnt have it

    People totally misunderstand the Hori split pad.
    Yes it has no battery but thats good because any joy con that has batteries will literally drain switch battery to keep the joy cons charged. Nobody seems to realize this and i noticed a huge difference in switch battery lasting wayyyyy longer while using the Hori split pad. Also, the joysticks are literally perfect. Sensitive no dead zone and perfect for shooters. So gyro is really not necessary.

    I don’t know how long it is up already (on the Amazon I use) but there’s actually a “middle-part controller part” {sorry, forgot the name and too lazy to check again} for the Hori Pad now, which costs you 70+ Extra to get.
    So combine that with the standalone price of the Hori Pad and you have an overall expense of one-third Switch Console to get the full combo. I mean if you have the money and willingness, then yay?

    • @TechSpaceCowboy
      @TechSpaceCowboy  2 роки тому

      Oh weird. I’m assuming it has batteries then?

    • @digiing1992
      @digiing1992 2 роки тому

      No, this adapter has an entrance above to connect it to the console (or maybe other things too) as a now-wired-controller and an entrance below for headphone plug-in. So like a PS4 controller with cable instead of Bluetooth.
      I assume that the Hori Pad gets charged while being connected to this adapter part when you play in Docked Mode, just like they are powered up by the Switch in Handheld Mode.
      But that seems to be all it does, since all the things that the Hori Pad can’t do on it’s own are still undoable with this adapter part.
      So basically, you can use it to play with the Hori Pad on TV (or PC too apparently) and have headphones attached to your controller while doing that.
      As I don’t have it myself though and only checked what this adapter can do in a video on UA-cam (after finding it on Amazon), I’m not saying anything definite here.
      You should probably watch one of these review videos yourselves because I’m unsure if I explained it sufficiently. None of the “big Nintendo Switch UA-camrs” have made a remark about this Adapter yet, as far as I’m aware.

      Handheld only? Maybe... It has way weaker battery though - V2 is 4.5-9 hours, OLED is similar and Lite is only 3-7 Hours. Also Lite is not as much customizable as V2/OLED and you can't play on TV which is a shame since it's the main selling point of Nintendo Switch.
