    It’s not an “imitation” or a “knockoff”. Neither NYXI nor Binbok made this. It’s a dropshipped product, i.e. same product produced and shipped directly from the same manufacturer, but sold & marketed online by dropshipping “companies” that simply put their brands on it. I say “companies” but it’s often just one guy’s side-hustle outside his day job. He puts these products for sale on amazon or wix under a brand of his own. All orders get forwarded straight to the factory, which would ship it straight to the customers. You get the exact same product regardless of which brand you buy it from. One is not a knockoff of the other.

    I have a white version of these and they look so good. Honestly, I was fine with the joycons, I played Breath of the Wild and half of Odyssey with them just fine. But man, the Binbok/NYXI joycons have spoiled me. Going back to the normal joycons just feel so... cramped now. Sometimes you don't know what you want until you get em. I appreciate how you can also make these into a pseudo-pro controller. People should know more about these controllers, so thanks for covering them!

    This controller is great if you like playing a lot of different third party games in handheld mode. Nintendo games work great with Joycons, but that doesn't carry over for non Nintendo made games. This controller also makes holding the device a lot easier. It was worth the money to me to play stuff like Bioshock and The Outer Worlds with better aiming. Joycons are terrible for first person shooters. They are also useless in Dead By Daylight with the Qte gen fixes or weapon throwing as the killer.

    You should look at the Nyxi Hyperion or the Hyperion Pro (difference is the Hall Effect Joystick) which is actually different from the Binbok. The one you reviewed is the Nyxi Athena series I believe. I think both Nyxi and Binbok are both reselling and rebranding the same controller from China. The Hyperion series seem to be new from those mysterious Chinese manufactures.

    I bought a pair of these and they're much more comfortable than my Split Pad Pros. HOWEVER the thumbsticks are much stiffer and have a bigger deadzone, making it a lot harder to do finer movements. Aiming a pokeball throw in Legends Arceus is much MUCH easier with the Hori SPP - such a shame. (Edit: typos)

    I have both the NYXI Pro Controller and the Hori Split Pad Pro. All I can say is that one is better than the other and vice versa depending on the game I am playing (on the perspective of playing in handheld mode) For 3D games like The Legend of Zelda: BotW, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and any games that are similar to those, the NYXI ones are functionally better thanks to having gyro/motion controls but I can live with the Split Pad Pro just fine with this. Its just that it will not be as convenient as the NYXI ones. For 2D Platform games like the entire Megaman Legacy Collection (classic, X, Zero/ZX), and, especially, fighting games, the Hori Split Pad Pro is better for me since its D-pad is miles better than NYXI's imo (except for Smash which I only play in docked, never in handheld mode since I use a GC controller) For docked, I rarely use the NYXI ones. Most of the time, I use an 8Bitdo dongle then connect my Dualshock 4 controller lol.

I've had mine for about a year and no complaints, except the grips can slide off, if you're not paying attention. The latche releases need to be more secure. The Binbok is the one that should be licensed for Nintendo. Hands down, a 100% better value than any other controller out there.

    I got these and hated them... If anything they were too large. A standard joycon sits in the crease of my hand and my fingers sit behind the screen - and whilst that can get uncomfortable, these felt like all the weight of the screen was sitting on the joycon rails. They also added a lot of extra width to the console which made it feel like my hands were way too far apart, and the rumble was really loud and not a patch on the HD rumble of the official joycon or the rumble in the pro controller. In the end I went back to the official joycon, or played in table top mode with a pro-controller.
