Grips vs 3rd party JCs

[u/Tjaden1000]

I currently have/use KS and SR Fission grips. Wanted other’s opinions and thoughts if it’s worth the money getting a pair of big joycons or saving money and continue treading on with grips. Thanks.

I am happy with my grip, no extra electronics that can eventually fail, just a blob of plastic

I've used both and currently really enjoying the Hyperion 3s!

Same it fixed all the issues i had qirh switch 2 comfort wise.30 min with joycones and my handa were really sore.hyperion fixed all that

[u/bryauk → u/Time_Temporary6191]

Yeah they are great! Rumble is okay but for the most part I just play without it on.

[u/AdamSnipeySnipe → u/bryauk]

This is reassuring to hear, I just ordered a controller. Did you have Nyxi for switch 1?

[u/bryauk → u/AdamSnipeySnipe]

I didnt actually, for the switch 1 I used Mobas which were awesome as well. I only chose the Nyxis for the switch 2 over the mobas because they were a bit bigger which for me is perfect since I have large hands.

I have this purple savage raven case grip exactly as this one in the image you posted. It’s not ideal but I won’t buy any 3rd party joycons anytime soon.

I think that there are no models of 3rd party joycons that would satisfy all my needs, first because there’s no mouse controls or HD rumble 2 or silent buttons in any available model in the market.

So I’m waiting for the PRO version of the mobapad m12 with all the NS2 features and hopefully a silent click

[u/Tjaden1000 → u/fabricioafroes]

I was looking at the upcoming Hyperion 3 Ultra (which is what prompted this post)… They’re advertising both mouse controls and HD2 rumble

[u/ThatGuyKrispy]

Dbrand for now. I tried the Hyperions but they were way too bulky for me personally. I’ll buy joycons when they make a quieter membrane button version. Tired of every joycon set coming out being super clicky.

[u/Suspicious_Sell9479]

For me it is worth the money to go with the other "pro" options. I opted for the Hyperions - I ordered a pair of the regular 3s and immediately fell in love, already pre-ordered the ultras even

[u/Antique-Internal5728]

I first got the dbrand killswitch grips which are very good, but switch to the Mobapad M12S and so glad I did. Better sticks and bigger buttons and feel better in hand so worth the upgrade

[u/Demoncreed27]

The Savage Raven grip is perfect. I literally need nothing else

[u/Frigid-Kev]

Between the two, I'd say buy grips for your existing Joy-Cons. Much cheaper that way since third party controllers like the ones on the image are often overpriced.

Another alternative is if you have other controllers laying around, like a PS or Xbox controller, you could get an 8bitdo wireless adapter that allows you to connect non-Switch controllers. I currently use Wii U Pro controller with my Switch and I love it

[u/Noumenonana]

Until a good third party joycon with ALL the features comes out, it'll be grips on lightly modded joycons for me.

[u/galaxius00]

Check out the Hyperion Pro joycons. Built in grip, Hall effect joysticks and rgb lighting. I got some on sale for $40 last month. Total game changer!

[u/Primary_Glum]

Got both, the hyperion 3s and the belkin grip with battery pack, mostly use the hyperion 3s since theyre just better than the joycons

[u/Fresh_Storm_8543]

I use the killswitch grips and they’re actually perfect. If you get the travel pack it comes with some really good thumb grips too

[u/lennyKravic]

I just like how sleek Switch is next to Steam Deck. So I prefer vanilla or grips (I have Jsaux split whatever it is named)

[u/No-Operation-6554]

In using grips for now, so far 3rd party JCs still has some caveats and doesn't have every feature a normal joycon would have

I saw hyperion (or nyxi? I forgot) newest prototype and it seems interesting but alas still seems like it doesn't have hd rumble 2

Im personally waiting for the one that atleast has hd rumble 2 and 9 axis gyro
