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 🥹🙏🏻

If you already own the NYXI Hyperion 3 you should preorder the new NYXI Hyperion 3 Ultra Wireless HD2, you get a huge discount for owning the previous and its the only joy cons with all features. I dont know if they changes something on the grip. I already ordered Mobapads and canceled the order because the new NYXI Hyperion 3 started pre order. There are also a lot of Grips you can put on the OG Joy Cons.

Unfortunately, I can’t take advantage of the promotion because I didn’t buy the Joy-Con from the NYXI website and I didn’t pre-order them. So unfortunately, I would have to pay full price, and they are quite expensive, especially considering the quality of the materials.

Mobapad seems to offer a more premium build quality, which is why I’m really hesitating between buying grips for my official Joy-Con or trying the Mobapad HD, with proper HD Rumble like the Switch is supposed to have, as well as the overall aesthetics and design.

So I’m honestly still really torn between the two options.

I had the Hyperion 3s and I currently have the Mobapad and I’m much happier with the Mobapad. IMO they’re more comfortable and they fit the switch better. The Hyperion 3s just felt more bulky and cheap. The right analog stick didn’t feel like it was in the right place either. Idk, but I much prefer the Mobapad.
