- BinBok's Transparent Joy-Con for Nintendo Switch surprised me with their comfort and overall quality, but are they actually better than Hori's Split Pad Pro?

Excellent review! Those clear controllers look great 👀. Might need to switch over from my Split pad pro controllers. Thanks again!
Thanks for the vid. Subbed! Ill try these soon!
I'm getting a set on March 7th for my birthday (alongside Nexomon Extinction) since my Joycons are messing up again (a shame since Nintendo "fixed" them and I have 2 really nice grips which protect my Switch and increase comfort tenfold) and am super excited! The wait is killing me, I much prefer playing in Handheld even though I love my Pro Controller and Monitor. Handheld gaming is more relaxing for me, and I just feel more "at home".
Also I see you were playing SMT V, 3, and MHG! Great games!
Nice review, ive been wanting to buy this to play project diva on docked mode, so its really helpful you mentioning the dpad being unresponsive when on wireless mode. kinda saved my wallet here.
Also i clicked on the video cuz see nocturne & smt5 on the thumbnail and now glad i did 🤣
That's great to hear! And yeah, huge SMT fan
Hi! Thanks for the review!
Were you able to test the joystick deadzone?
In my experience its pretty large, so mostly use the for 2D games.
FPS games are pretty hard to play on these.
I have just received this in the mail, and it is fantastic!
Glad you like it!
I've been playing around with mine for a month. So glad I bought them, feels so much better in my hands.
they really are super comfortable
Bought a used switch that can’t dock, and also had drift on the left joycon, so I’ve been on the hunt for a good alternative, the split pad pro is what brought me here, but I might stay for a while!
Why not just get a brand new one instead? I’m asking before you got the switch
How do you feel about these versus the funlab joycons you reviewed awhile ago? I have wrist and arm issues but prefer to play handheld, so I'm in the market for something with rumble and gyro that have a bit more grip to them for comfort. Interested to hear what you think!
I think the gap on the split pad was there for easier docking. But that’s my opinion. Great video!
These look pretty comfy and only official downside is no NFC which I’ve never used outside of home.
Is that the switch oled? The screen looks fantastic. Or what screen cover are you using? Thank!
I have these and love them! Feel like much better quality than Split Pad Pro set I ended up returning. No issues with mine and they feel awesome in the hands.
Happy to hear and thanks for watching!
It's a shame the official joycons drift and aren't built all too well since with a good grip they are super nice
I have the black Binboks. Love em. My only complaint. The slide out of the Switch without pushing the release button. I do have the transparents on order. Can't wait. I do wish they had NFC built in so i can ditch my last pair of Nintendo Joycons.
Why would you buy more if the first set broke?
I don’t get why people would complain about the build quality. I have the black Binbok and they feel just as good as the Split Pad Pro. Both feel incredibly light. I even prefer the button feel of the buttons on the Binbok. I bought both the Binbok and Split Pad Pro at the same time to see which I liked better and the ONLY thing I can say the Split Pad did better is that it lets you set the turbo to the back paddles. If you do that on the Binbok it will apply trigger to the button it’s mapped to as well.
Great review!
I totally agree with you about the comfort of the Split Pad Pro, too. I tried those first because I expected them to be the obvious option to compare against and they actually hurt my hands more than the Joy Con themselves. Of course it gave me more grip but it also dug into my hands uncomfortably.
Does the software read them as as a pair of joycons or Pro Controller when they're unattached so you can remove some using the Nintendo software or is that just a pipe dream just curious have a great day everybody
Does these still work for you? I've heard they stop working after 2 or 3 months, and I am looking to buy some, do they still work?
Everyone who has reviewed this but one has said the cable is for charging, when it's actually meant for updating software. Does it say in the manual charging and that's why everyone says it, or is it just an assumption? If it was for charging they would have to send 2 or it just doesn't make sense.
Have mine since for 3 months. After the first month the trouble started. Pressing right side of the Dpad there some additional resistance and it clicks twice. The other directions don't have that issue. Switch was reporting wrong battery level of the right controller - always half full. Left controller forgets LED setting when turned off. Both randomly forget Rumble settings when turned off. Also rumble was way too strong even in the lowest setting so I ended up turning it off. Gyro worked fine tough.
I got a firmware update from Binbok that was supposed the rumble issue. I hoped it would fix other stuff too. It actually fixed the rumble. But it rendered the controller useless. The LED has only weird color schemes. I can't select basic colors like red, blue or green anymore and I ca not turn them off anymore. So I'm stuck with bright-blue-purple. But it gets worse. The plus and minus buttons don't work anymore so 95% of the games cannot be played anymore. I tried to reset both controller. No success. I tried to contact the Binbok support but never got any reply.
Long story short. They don't live up to the hype. Binbok has some serious quality issues and the support is non-existent. That really disappointing onsidering that those are among the most expensive 3rd party joy cons.
I will replace it with Mobapad M6 - costs only a few bucks more but the quality of the M6 is several leagues above the binbok.
Update: After a while I contacted the support again and got a prompt reply. They gave me another firmware. After downgrading the FW. The controller is at least back to what it was at the beginning. Currently I use the M6, it's better. But when I need the option to play wireless - on travel when I connect the switch with Hotel TV with a small 3rd Party adapter, it nice to just take the Joycon off and connect them with the small plastic piece to a full controller.
What does turbo functionality mean?
Question do these drift?
Build quality on a good pair is awesome.... problem is like half of em don't work. 👍 Stick with Hori, I've been through three sets of binboks.
Except that IMO, the Hori is more expensive and is useless when not attached to the Switch
I heard about that on Wulff Den's video too.
I’m jealous how you put a screen protector on your switch OLED with any dust or hair underneath it, I went through 9 of them and finally got one perfect. Wasted $40 and you did it your first try.
Haha how did you know it was my first try? It’s a little uneven right to left but I’m ok with it. I always install my glass screen protectors in the bathroom with the shower on pretty hot. The steam seems to help pull dust out of the air. Thanks for watching!
The secret was to apply the protector immediately after unboxing the switch. Even during those 5 seconds I still got dust!
@@JeffHawthorne I just went on my driveway and applied it cause it’s too dusty in my house and plus I have dog hair flying around everywhere.
Do the bathroom hot shower trick. It's very effective!
Can u connect this to PC ?
Don't forget split pad doesn't support custom keymapping
I haven’t been the lightest bit disappointed in these joycons
still feel that way? durability is my concern
Do the buttons feel better than original joycons?
They feel pretty nice but they have just a bit more resistance than I'd like. The buttons are much larger and closer to the pro controller than the joy-con though
I bought one for my Oled Nintendo Switch 👍
Nice! They look great on the OLED. Thanks for watching!
Nice review but I think I'll stick with Hori!
Thanks Liam!
I have no interest in these since I'm happy with the split pad pro. But these are pretty nice looking. Transparent controllers are always cool to see. When it comes to rumble, I'll just use the pro controller lol. Split pad for me is pretty comfy but that's obviously different for each person. Also speaking of grips, the pro controller has pretty thin grips similar to tge split pad.
The* lol
are they comfortable for smash bros?
I didn’t use these to play Smash Bros specifically, but yeah, I think they’d be a really comfortable option for Smash players. Thanks for watching!
Ah yes! Neiltendo Power.
My favorite Switch accessories channel. Haha!
These look very cool, by the way!
But, it’s gonna be a pass for me. My Hori pads still do the trick.
You’re very sweet to say that. Yeah I didn’t mean to trash on the split pad pro the whole time really, these just kind of surprised me with how good they feel for a mostly unknown company. Appreciate the support!
Don't throw away your hori! These will drift/trigger buttons will get spongey in less than a month. 👍
They're so cheap for a very good reason guys. Think about it, if these truly were joycon replacements they'd be like 100 bucks.
You don’t even get usb cords with PS5 or Xbox series controllers!
What do you mean? My ps5 came with a usb cord…
@@Mechromey PS5 controllers by themselves don’t. And Xbox series S console doesn’t come with any usb cords at all!
QC on these seems absolutely awful. Split Pad pros were too thin for my hands. The search continues I guess
I use these for Smash and they work great. Anybody want this smoke I’ll clap you.
Not better than split pad pro as far as functionality, the Hori’s win that battle, the Binbok’s win if your playing without the joy con’s being connected to the switch.
How's the joystick deadzone ? You said it was a bit unresponsive in wireless but didn't even try it wireless.
You barely played with these, the review didn't help me at all, it looked more like a commercial than anything else
Just because I didn’t show using these wirelessly in the video doesn’t mean I never tried it? I used these for a full week before recording the vid. The dead zone on these is fine, better than some other third party controllers I’ve reviewed. My biggest complaint with these is the button resistance is a little too high for my liking and the rumble is a little wonky
я увидел дохрена балабольства, минут на 10 если быть точным, и нихрена не увидел тесты сия устройства.
А то что оно вах прозрачное и светодиодики в нем светятся это никому не нужно. Ставлю dislike такому плохому обзору.
Вы такое больше не снимайте пожалуйста
