Joypad Controller Compatible with Switch 8 Colour Adjustable LED, Replacement with D-Pad & Non-Slip Grip for Switch joycon, Wireless Ergonomic JoyCon L/R Remotes Gamepad Joystick Controller

There are some questionable design choices with the revision of Binbok's popular joycon alternative, most notably in the face buttons and d-pad. The face buttons use a very stiff conductive membrane pad, with a gummy/squishy bottom-out that almost makes a popping sound when released. The largest issue with this is the design of the buttons themselves, tearing it apart reveals that underneath the buttons they use a very strange ( | ) shape to apply pressure to the pad when pressed. This odd shape makes the button press feel very uneven with the button depressing on one side with light presses but the pad doesn't receive enough force to register a button press. So the solution is to just push the buttons harder, which is fatiguing on the thumb not to mention annoying. This issue CAN however be somewhat remedied if you're willing to open this up. Simply applying a precise cut of some electrical tape to the bottom of the ABXY buttons themselves gives more surface area for the button to push down on the pad with, fixing the uneven button feeling. It is a bit time consuming however cutting out the precise shape with a razor and applying the tape to the bottom of these small buttons but if you're dead set of them I highly recommend it!Second issue is with the d-pad, It's terrible and unsalvageable. The d-pad uses tactile buttons like the actual joycons with a membrane on top of it. Combine this with the poorly designed pivot spike in the middle that only adds to the stiffness, diagonal inputs become stupidly hard to pull off as you need to press down in both directions with enough force to push down the membrane and tactile circuit.Analog stick performance is just about 1:1 with a regular joycon, dead-zones and all, they feel identical to use.They're kinda meh for all the hype everyone on amazon and Youtube reviews would have you believe. Still better than actual joycons though, which to me are literally the crappiest controllers $80 can buy.

My favorite features of this controller is the looks and yes that was a huge selling point for me and it doesn’t let me down not one bit, Especially in dark settings or Atmosphere. My only down play for this controller is the fact that you can’t wake up your Switch from sleep mode when the joy cons are not attached But besides that, this is a great controller & it Works absolutely fine with bigger buttons & a little bit more spacing between the layout of the buttons as well compared to the standard joycon controllers. Overall it’s good purchase & I recommend you buy it especially for the portability, functions (Turbo) & Aesthetics.

(TL:DR; Buy this, color change is at the bottom of this review)The feel of these in your hands is far better than the original Joy Con controls. Much like others here, I too have found that the Joy Con's break very easily. The matte grip finish fits better as you're not having it slide from your hands. The button positioning is a little bit different due to the ergonomics so that might take some getting used to. It also allows some heavy game play since these don't get gross and slick with hand sweat. The biggest problem I had by far was figuring out how to change the color on each joystick. If anyone else is looking here for help; Hold T and press down on the joystick. Release and repeat to cycle through static colors, double click for the breathing functions. Both of these have to be done seporately unless you're an octopus or maybe Goro of Shiva (MK FTW) or see if someone will come in with an assist. Over all, 10/10 would buy again if in need.

*Edit 2: 5/12/21Updated to 5 stars. I bought a 2nd pair, and they're perfect. They're perfect! Buttons are fine, everything is as it should be. This pair absolutely gets a 5/5 from me. I know they don't have NFC or HD rumble, but no 3rd party controller does. In terms of 3rd party joycon, these are the best money can but.I also bought a pair of the wider version, and tbh, I don't like those. They feel too wide and bulky. And because the analogs are bigger, they're diagonally positioned like a pro controller, BUT, not enough to be in the perfect natural resting position for my thumb. Idk. They're usable, and the extra paddle buttons are nice,, but I just don't like them nearly as much as the thinner Binbok variant which is more comfy, and the analogs still offer larger range of motion than official joycon, but don't obstruct my thumb due to being recessed. I thought I'd like the larger, Hori Split Pad Pro sized variant more, but nope. It's just not as ergonomic. And, it doesn't fit in any case I own. Whereas the thinner variant fits in the Satisfye grip case.*Edit: 4/11/21I successfully dismantled the right joycon by taking out the 5 screws in the back, removing the back shell, then prying up the battery and sticky foam that kept it adhered to the board, then removed the 2 screws holding the board down and the 2 screws mounting the analog casing to the frame, and carefully lifted the board out of the way.The rail was still attached to the board via ribbon cable, and the battery was still attached via wires, but it was enough to move out of the way to access the silicone membrane of the 4 face buttons. I pulled the membrane off so I could see the backside of the face buttons, and used an Xacto knife to carefully lift each button out. The issue is, the back of the buttons have two rectangular slits in them, presumably material savers to cut down on cost of plastic used. It doesn't press against the membrane with even force. And they're not quite long enough. Tape will fix both issues.I then took quality electrical tape and layed 3 layers of electrical tape on a cardboard box flap, and used the Xacto knife to cut 4 triple stack squares of electrical tape the size needed to cover the backside of the face buttons. I applied and pressed firmly to ensure the tape was centered and wouldn't move with force applied against the membrane.It works great! Buttons feel perfect now! Indistinguishable from official joycon face buttons!Upping to 4 starts for potential of being able to transform these into something great.*Original Review*I love these joycon. I love them so much. The analog sticks have so much more travel and they are the most ergonomic joy con I have ever used. The RGB lighting around the analogues is also really awesome. But man... the buttons are horrible! The face buttons have to be pressed down a little harder than normal to register, and if you only press lightly like you would with a normal joy con, it will feel like you’re pressing the button but it won’t register. Only after you press harder do you feel it click down further for the registered press. If you make a conscious effort to press the buttons harder then it’s not too much of an issue, but it’s seriously aggravating and something that bothers me a lot, because if this wasn’t the case these joycon would be near flawless. Well, aside from the Dpad which only registers in 4 directions like the stock joycon, so you can’t do 45° angle presses for Street fighter and the like. Which to be fair doesn’t make them any worse than the stock joy con in that respect, so I could definitely let that slide if the buttons worked properly.I read another review on here suggesting taking them apart and using an X-Acto knife to cut out little circles of electrical tape and stick it to the bottom of the buttons so that it makes smoother contact. I just ordered some tape and a knife and I’m going to give that a try even though I’ve never opened up a joy con before. But they’re just so close to being perfect, or as perfect as I need them anyways, that it’s worth a shot.
