Today I'm reviewing the highly customisable NYXI HYPERION Joycons for the Nintendo Switch. These are a really incredible addition for the Nintendo Switch and I really like them a lot.

Thanks! I have last year's version of these nyxi joycons and I love them. Not to mention they have really good customer service. One of my shoulder buttons ended up breaking. I asked them to send me a new shoulder button so could fix it and nyxi sent me a whole new one no problem. Well worth it to buy these for sure!
I like that the buttons are like engraved instead of painted on, so there's no wear over time.
If the centre slot piece isn't manufactured very well you could probably take a joycon grip and take off the grip part which would make basically the same thing but with official joycon rails which could help prevent that wear and tear on the right nyxi joycon like you mentioned

I think I'd prefer to keep the original joycons intact and live with it the sketchy Nyxi centerpiece 😅

@@RetroBreezeYT no I meant the joycon grip, the thing you slot them into to make a seperate controller, you can unscrew the handles off it and be left with the centrepiece similar to what's included with the nyxi

I wonder if you did that with a charging grip if the controllers could get charged through it instead of needing to be docked on the console or independently charged. well, I ordered a set of these controllers last week, guess I'll experiment when they get to me lol

@@Orion_Alathorn don't see why it wouldn't work, and even if it doesn't I highly recommend doing it with a regular joycon grip, did it to mine when j got my nyxi joypads in the mail and it's a way better connection then the plastic on plastic connection of the stock adaptor
I got the sew through ones and am really pleased with them

Where do you guys get those back covers which protects the back of the Switch oled whilst using these hyperion controllers in handheld mode?? I cannot find one for the life in me. I'm looking for one that is preferably flexible and smooth on the inside so it won't tarnish my TotK back
Can you remap the face buttons via the Nintendo Switch system settings? I am hoping to flip the A&B, X&Y buttons to match the xbox layout?
Sold out, hopefully they re-stock soon! So much difficulty to get a quality controller of any kind for the switch...

Back in stock. Just got them.
Would you recommend nexigo or binbok joycons over this ones? I really don’t like the l3 r3 thing
Can you bind the paddles to function as a turbo button for a trigger?
for those still waiting for the nyxi controllers to come back in stock, I would highly recommend the MOBAPAD controllers

Ehemm.. Iine Elite Plus Joypad.. Try to check that out especially the Splatoon design one.. Look really cool..
I'm extremely confused here. There doesn't seem to be any information on split play specifically for motion control. Like demonstration of playing Splatoon for split play motion control as well as exercise games that use motion control. How good this functions for motion control in split play with controllers in separate hands.

Hi can you turn off the back macro buttons? Incase I'm always pressing them accidentally
What is the white case you have on the switch? Also, do you have any issues with the left controller wiggling when in handheld mode like its not secure on the device
A big improvement on the previous version
What is the best, the hyperion or the athena ?
Can these be used as individual joycons for multiplayer games like Mario party?

How do they hold up 10 months later, any technical issues developed over time?

Seems like a nice JoyCon replacement, although with the grip, I don't understand why they couldn't just make it a rechargeable grip. Both controllers need to be charged separately, so why not make the grip that makes them work as one controller be rechargeable? Yeah, you can charge them with the Switch Dock when they're connected to the system, but still.

I would say the worst thing about these joycons is the dpad. It's worse than any other dpad I've tried (Nintendo and Sony), even the stock joycon buttons. It in fact does use a rubber membrane and the problem is NOT the clicky switches. I suspect it is the design and height of the dpad plastic by Nyxi that makes it almost impossible to do diagonals. After some trial and error, I swapped in a different dpad (from an aftermarket SNES controller), along with some rubber spacers placed underneath the Up and Right directions and some double sided adhesive on the circuit board underneath the dpad center pivot. so I could rock the dpad around in all 8 directions comfortably. There is no disassembly guide, but you don't have to disconnect any ribbon cables or the battery to do this mod.

Thumbs down! Really no info here. Doesn't explain how well it functions in regards to dead zone. And also importantly when using for split grip motion control. How accurate is the motion control for proper aiming.
