5.0 out of 5 stars Swan Song for the Switch
I don't write product reviews often, but I felt I should take the time with this item. With less than a year (supposedly) until we have a "Switch 2", I decided to freshen up my Switch as I try to knock out any remaining games I want finish before the next console. I wanted a full set of features with this new handheld. My main criteria: comfort/ergonomics, gyro, vibration, back paddles.First I'll talk about two other popular options I tried and finish with my Nexigo gripcon experience in the last few paragraphs.I've used the Holi split pad pro quite a bit, and while it does feel REALLY great in hand it's missing gyro and vibration. Might not matter to some, but in my new handheld I wanted something with the full suite of features.The Nitro Deck has been getting a lot of attention lately, and I tried that as well. The build quality is great, and while is has gyro, vibration, back paddles... honestly the ergonomics did not appeal to me. It feels closer to a Steam Deck in hand and in appearance, but not nearly as comfortable. And the right thumbstick in relation to the ABXY buttons was also a problem many others have reported. You could probably get used to it, but it was very awkward for me. Another issue was the lack of adjustable vibration - could only be set to on/off and to me it was too distracting when on. Less is more when it comes to rumble in my opinion... playing Mario Wonder the thing was buzzing constantly. Honestly I think the Nitro Deck looks good, and certainly has some great marketing, but it just wasn't enjoyable in hand to me.Which finally brings me to the product at hand, this Nexigo Hall effect gripcon. This thing is the culmination of all their previous models, has every feature you could want - I won't list them all here as you can read the product description, but this is one of the few decks out there that does "everything" and wraps it up in a package with superb build quality (really, I'd compare it to the Nintendo pro controller) and looks great as well.The Gripcon fits my average sized male hands very comfortably - FAR more so than the Nitro Deck, the ergonomics are no comparison. Thumbsticks feel fantastic and are in perfect position in relation to the d-pad and ABXY buttons. Vibration is adjustable to several different intensities, a rare feature but was key to me. The lightest setting is perfect for me - subtle, not overbearing, but it's there. Also, this thing is it's own dock, which is a really cool feature I wasn't even looking for. Your Switch can live in the Nexigo, because all you need to do for docked mode is pop your USB-C and HDMI cable into it and you're good to go. Yank em out when you want to go portable again. So easy - not to mention it upscales the video output to 4K which is something the branded Switch Dock does NOT do. It even has a USB-A slot so you can hook up, for example, a headphone dongle. Add in a few other bells & whistles like cartridge storage slots, turbo, and a kickstand because why not? If I had one criticism, it's that the ABXY buttons are a *little* bit "clicky" for my taste, but honestly after a couple minutes of play I don't even notice.After trying out multiple grips/attachments, reading many reviews, and sifting though plenty of comparable products, in my opinion this Gripcon is the pinnacle of Switch handheld (and docked) play. I would recommend this to anyone who owns a Switch.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great feeling grip, fits OLED well, does reduce battery life but control is excellent
Overall, this is a great handheld. I initially was troubled by the reduction in battery life, but it isn't as extreme as I first thought (it does reduce it more quickly, but not twice as fast) and the vibration is a nice feature to have, although it is a bit loud and doesn't have the "HD" feel of modern vibration motors. More like the old school Dual Shock vibration rotary offset weights (and, since it's kind of see through, you can see them in there and that's what the look like too). It's very comfortable to me, with hands bigger than average but not gigantic. The sticks, D-Pad and triggers feel good. The buttons are a bit stiff at first but get a bit more comfortable as you spend time with it. I am extremely pleased with the accuracy and feel of the joysticks. That was my biggest hope and it nails things there.I don't use the turbo or additional button features really ever, myself, but they're there if you want them. I do use the two slots on the back for additional Switch carts - handy, I wish it had 7, haha - and the included HDMI out and USB C in works extremely well as a portable "dock." Very nice to be able to do that without having to worry about setting up a regular dock when, say, visiting somewhere you have access to the TV.I will say, I thought that mine had an issue initially and received a replacement... that did not work right. One of its buttons was stuck sending signal at all times no matter what. So that was a bit concerning. But the one I have, and kept, did not in fact have a problem it turns out, and it has worked well for the two months or so that I have been using it. I will update my review if there are unexpected issues later, but I'm hoping it continues to perform well for me and make me feel satisfied in the purchase.Edit 06-17-2025: Still going strong a year and three months after purchase. The joysticks remain excellent to use, and the HDMI out is convenient for connecting to a TV without a dock. I am now looking forward to when Nexigo figures out how to make something like this for Switch 2, I'll definitely try it.
C'est comme une nouvelle console
Ce pad change radicalement l'ergonomie de la console : la prise en main est plus naturelle, et se rapproche davantage à une manette de xbox. Terminées les crampes !Les boutons pleine taille répondent bien, ainsi que les joysticks à effet hall (donc, qui ne s'usent pas et ne sont pas sujets au "drift")La fonction sortie HDMI est bien pratique : cela limite l'encombrement lors des transports, on a tout sous la main en permanence.Le seul reproche que je pourrai faire, c'est que le port USB-C du pad ne fonctionne que pour la charge, il ne peut pas être utilisé pour le transfert de données.En conclusion, je suis très content de ce pad, et j'utilise désormais beaucoup plus ma switch !!
Très bien mais manque une notice dans la boîte.
Mon fils trouve la manette / coque sympa mais un soucis de droit sur un des joycon.Peut être un réglage à faire.Par contre, il a cru qu’elle ne fonctionnait pas car elle ne réagissait pas même après des heures de charge mais fallait aller dans les paramètres de la console pour activer comme des pads pro.
Amazing Controller
I’ve been using the NexiGo Hall Effect Gripcon with my Switch, and honestly, I really like it! It’s super comfortable to hold, and the Hall Effect joysticks feel way smoother and more responsive than the regular Joy-Cons. It’s made a big difference for longer gaming sessions in handheld mode.What really sold me, though, is the docking feature. I love the idea that I can just pop it onto the kickstand and connect it to my TV with the HDMI out—no need to mess around with the regular dock. It supports 4K and 1080P, so games still look great on the big screen. Plus, it even has a USB 3.0 port, which is a nice bonus.Overall, the NexiGo Gripcon has been a great addition to my setup, especially for switching between handheld and docked mode. If you're looking for something more versatile than Joy-Cons, this is definitely worth checking out!
Great grip, poor face buttons
I bought this product after reading all the positive reviews and watching some comparison videos on YouTube. I love the grip of this set and the comfort it provides for bigger hands. No complaints about the triggers either. And this case won't damage the sides or the back of your Switch like some other cases do.However, the A B X Y facebuttons are of incredibly poor quality. After two evenings of mild usage my A and B buttons already stick frequently. Mind you I'm a clean gamer, I don't eat near my Switch, and I wash my hands before I game.Sadly I will be returning this product.
fits great, great feel, good price, really happy with it
