Wasn’t impressed with the NYXI Wizard. The face buttons were terrible and a lack of C stick just felt off to me. Felt like a decently made 3rd party controller instead of a more traditional GameCube controller. This looks a lot better, but I’m bummed the triggers look generic 😭 but I’ll take decent triggers over hollow face buttons.
I wanna be able to play MP remastered without switching control layouts between handheld and docked modes. Something like these joycons could help. Though 60+ bucks is pretty steep for me. Can't wait until more reviews comparing these two controllers (binbok snd nyxi gamecube style) come out. For context: MP remastered works with normal gamecube controllers, using the gamecube usb adapter, but you are missing buttons (like the home button and + and - ) that make it not the best. And you gotta switch the y and x buttons, or you will get confused (turning into morph ball in fights when you want to use missles) and switch the map button, and it ain't the best. Also, I prefer the gamecube controller versus pro because I jump between MP switch and MP original randomized.
For anyone that comes back to this video. I got the controllers in the mail two days ago after they had already given me a refund. They are great. I’d recommend you get them just be wary of customer service. You may not have a problem just remember if a problem does arise you might not have the best time dealing with the company.
Pro Tip: when I searched "gamecube joycon" I found this model but I didn't even realize it was BinBok at first; all I saw was "DOYOKI" on the controller, and I searched "DOYOKI GameCube JoyCon" and I had to rifle through a bunch of videos before I realized this vid was about that controller. So maybe throw a "DOYOKI" in the tags or title. Js.
I placed my order yesterday for this controller, so now I'm eagerly waiting on the shipping confirmation - fingers crossed it arrives in time for the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom release!
Be careful if you order. I ordered 2 months ago and they keep sending me emails saying “1 more week they’ll be ready” when the week ends and I email again they say the same thing. Happened 4 times now
I got NYXIs GameCube joycons 2 weeks ago. Wasn’t cheap feeling, but the face buttons were reaaaal bad. No gimmick on this thing can fix how 3rd party it feels next to a real GameCube controller. BinBok looks more authentic and more well made. I just wish they didn’t pick generic triggers for this thing
I prefer the NYXI joycons honestly! While they look similar to gamecube joycons they offer a more modern feeling to them with the hall effect sticks and regular size sticks!
This is probably a dumb question, but does it still have the L3 and R3 thimbstick clicks? I ask because the original GameCube controller didn’t have them.
I personally don't like how they made the middle spacer black because it makes the whole controller look like crap because black on purple is not appealing to me at all and for that reason i will be buying the NYXI Wizard version instead because that black on purple color scheme is just ugly, but i will say that if they do in the future make a purple colored version of that middle spacer i will most likely get this version too but not while it has that miss-matching black on purple setup. Update: I just got my NYXI Wizard NGC Joycons a few days ago and i got to say over all they are not bad but where it falls apart for me is that A button it sucks, because it's way too smushy and i have had it get stuck a few times while i was playing a game of Borderlands 2 GOTY edition on my switch oled and that it not good and i have heard that Binbok/Doyoky's version has better face buttons and so i think im going to get those next month when iv got the cash and i should point out that i did not get my copy of the NYXI Wizard controller brand new and infact i got it used off of eBay because for whatever reason NYXI's website kept on declining my bank card and so i decided to check what eBay had to offer and i was presently surprised him what i found as the very first one that showed was not only quite a bit cheaper then it's brand new price but it was in really good condition too and with it being at around the $57.00 price range instead of being over $70.00 it was practically a steal and it even came with a matching purple braided usb-c cable instead of that shitty one that normally comes with it and even though i did get mine used and not new considering that it was kept in really good condition i don't think that it being used really matters that much and despite the shitty A button it works fine so im at the very least satisfied with my purchase.
@@CarrotsNotCake Yeah it works fine and i use it quite often and i even use it when i play games like Pokemon Scarlet and Borderlands 2/TPS and the only thing that is a little annoying is that the LEDs occasionally like to turn themselves on when the controller is connected to my Switch directly while it is off but other then that its fine, and im sorry to hear that yours isn't working correctly.
@@Animeloversonicfan Mine is doing the lights glitch, and both sides are input glitching. For their first attempt at a controller of their own (their other controllers are all just branded Nyxi, but not made or designed by them, as far as I know), they dropped the ball. It seems that most people are having one issue or another with these.
non analog triggers is the deal breaker for me unfortunately. I want a controller that works on the switch, but also on other things like the Steam Deck. So analog triggers is a MUST.
I just care if they hold up to sweaty smash matches. So basically. Does it feel solid? Are the stickboxes on par with nintendo's and do they last? (i know that Nyxi uses hal sticks) I have had 2 wireless gc controllers both from Hori and a pdp usb gc controller. And although the stickboxes on the hori's felty nice, they only lasted about 2 months before giving out. And the PDB one is better but less precise, which causes me to miss inputs. Honestly i just learned to play with a pro controller at this point.
I'm definitely going to pre-order this! I was fortunate enough to get the NYXI Wizard and, while I really like it and it's definitely the best way to play in handheld mode and one of the best GameCube controller replacements, It could definitely use some improvements, like the triggers and the C-stick and adding the ability to charge both sides through the center piece. It looks like this controller has attempted to address those things, I'm excited!
It just sounds like you're shilling too hard on these to Binkbok because they asked you for your input. Otherwise the controllers seem to have great potential as being my Smash controller on the go.
Madkatz: OuR cOnTrOlLeRs ArE pErFeCt! YoU'rE jUsT sTuPiD! Binbok: People don't like our controllers, let's listen to criticism and improve them based on what they want to see.
they look awesome maybe ill buy this ones too, the only thing that kinda dislikes me is that the joystick are from alps, same one of ps5 wich are known for drifting, the nyxi a hall efect joystick, but this ones looks more cuality.
@@CarrotsNotCakecan you explain further what you mean by random inputs. I ordered one myself and waiting for it to come in. I want to see what to look out for when it comes in.
If they're quality analog sticks, they won't drift like these new controllers do. I'm still using two decade old controllers with zero issues. JoyCons have drift after what, a year?
Mario games are platformers, traditionally played with a D-pad. Street fighter is a fighing game, traditionally played with a FIGHT STICK 😂 Not a D-pad.
@@UncleGeeb Platformers don't really use diagonal press which determine how good a dpad is. There are millions of players that uses dpad for fighting games, if the dpad is any good.

Tomtoc! Make a case so Drip can carry these bad boys! 😂
Great vid man! Tempted to snag one when they officially release!
I’m getting the other ones to compare it from what geeb said I think these are the way to go. I’m definitely impressed
All these brand use same oem. Very likely for iine to produce a bag for this because they always do.
luckily doyoky put the hall sticks in later. I just bought mine
I need them to make a platinum color of these controllers.
nooo, definetely no killer... they are pre ordering still... please be calm lol
I placed my order yesterday for this controller, so now I'm eagerly waiting on the shipping confirmation - fingers crossed it arrives in time for the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom release!
is there a case that will fit these i.e. the hori split pad pro case from tomtoc?
I am not paying for controller again without hall effect sticks. Period.
I was wondering if these were real or not after I saw them on a Google search a few nights ago. No one has any info on them until now, thanks!
Be careful if you order. I ordered 2 months ago and they keep sending me emails saying “1 more week they’ll be ready” when the week ends and I email again they say the same thing. Happened 4 times now
I understand they had issues but don’t do continually tell me to wait another week
They constantly disconnect from my switch
Eh, NYXI is way better. HALL Effect sticks, no wobble, changeable gates to round... these are objectively worse
Do you have the NYXIs?

does it fit in anycase?? the butterfox?
You'll have to check dimensions of the case that you want to use. Some cases will fit it.
can you remap buttons to the opposite joycon?
If you use the switches button remap in system settings then yes you can
PDP have the best LR trigger ever
non analog triggers is the deal breaker for me unfortunately. I want a controller that works on the switch, but also on other things like the Steam Deck. So analog triggers is a MUST.
Don’t order. Been waiting 2 months. I email every week and ask they say is to wait one more week for new product. Horrible customer service
The BattlerGC by RetroFighters is Bluetooth, has rumble and analog triggers.
Also it's Doyoky not Do-yoky, meaning it's said like this "Doi-yoki" and again not Do-yoky.
