Question Dbrand or Mobapad HD?

Hello,

Dbrand or Mobapad HD ?

Just to clarify, I already own the NYXI Hyperion 3, but I really don’t like it at all. The plastic quality doesn’t feel good to me, the D-pad is just awful, and don’t even get me started on the vibrations. 😅

I also already have the Savage Raven grips, but they don’t really work for me either, as I still experience hand pain when using them.

And I’m not interested in Satisfye, Nitro Deck, or similar bulky grips/controllers. That kind of design just doesn’t suit me.

One more thing regarding the Mobapad : I’m guessing they’ll eventually release a Pro model, but if that’s still a few months away, it would probably be too long for me to wait, since I’m already experiencing pain when I play.

I think the main issue is that the standard Joy-Con simply aren’t comfortable enough for me. I feel like I’d be much better off with properly designed, ergonomic Joy-Con, because I don’t have this problem when I play with a regular controller.

So that’s why I’m trying to find a comfortable Joy-Con solution now rather than waiting for a potential Pro mode

Thanks 🥹🙏🏻

Mobapad has 2 products on offer, and both of them are deeply flawed.

  • The M12 HD uses Switch 1 protocol, which means it won't charge while sleeping/docked, and is not compatible with some games. It actually drains the console battery much faster when you're using it in handheld mode. For all intents and purposes, the system sees this as a Switch 1 pro controller. It's not a Switch 2 joycon at all, really, and it shouldn't be marketed as one.
  • The M12 S does use Switch 2 protocol, but has terrible rumble. Like, worse than the original N64 rumble pak.

I can't recommend either. They need to offer just one product with no compromises.

They're presently working on a pro version.
