Great joycons and controllers that dramatically improve the Switch
I never liked the original Nintendo joycons, too flat and unergonomic and the best thing you could say about the sticks is they worked…mostly. In May 2024 I bought the MobaPad M6 HD joycons for the Switch OLED. I’m not exaggerating when I say they massively improve handheld usage of the Switch. Satisfying, clicky mechanical buttons and hall effect sticks that are better than the sticks on my Xbox and PS5 controllers - and they don’t drift!!! Also mappable back buttons. They’re very comfy to hold too, nice curved bulging grip that is big enough to be comfy, and not too big that it makes the Switch less portable. In September I bought the ChiTu controller to use when the Switch is docked. I don’t understand the name of it lol, but I absolutely love the controller! Like the joycons, hall effect sticks, mechanical buttons and back buttons on the rear of the controller that can be mapped to whatever you want - I usually map them to L3 and R3, I’ve never been a big fan of L3/R3 on any controller, so the back buttons solve that. It’s December now, both joycons and controller still work great after a LOT of use! The problem with reviews is that often people post them right after getting them, but I can say with confidence these things are still sturdy and work perfectly after tonnes of playtime, 7 months using the M6 HD, 3 months using the ChiTu. They also have motion control and NFC/Amiibo support so you lose nothing using them instead of the default Nintendo controllers. My summary then is pretty obvious - if you’re looking for the best Switch joycons and controller the M6 HD and ChiTu are great purchases that you won’t regret.
