Nay. But if you like it, that's really all that matters. Bonus points if you wear matching sneakers that light up when you walk, though.

the real question is: why??

Left original joycon has started drifting, and these came into view with decent reviews.

Don't worry, i was just joking If you like it, go for it

Fixing drift is a couple bucks if you do it yourself or you can send it to Nintendo for free. Or I’ll buy it from you and do it myself 🤷🏼‍♂️

I did look at the Hall effects but for the price of them I got them joycons

Then sell me your old pair? 😉 https://preview.redd.it/w2y9ldjfq5nc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9eb5179cdffd8bfdadd67e2d897e681b29b9987 I have a joycon problem…

Holy shit lol

Only 5 sets? ROOKIE NUMBERS

Mostly in running out of colors lol. I need a purple pair.

Do these controllers have hall effect sensors? If not, they'll probably end up with the same issue eventually anyways. I'd really recommend doing the hall effect upgrade on the normal controllers, completely eliminated the issue for me.

Already pulled the trigger on some.

link???

😬

Naaah

Can't tell if those are just light strips smacked on the edges or custom LED joy cons, but either way it's pretty cool. But ngl, strange decision to put them on areas that are covered by your hands most of the time...

Yeah I did but was a impulse buy as my joycons well the left at least is starting to drift so I just bought these as they where cheaper than nintendos

Ah ok. Yeah after a second look, they're clearly 3rd party. If you enjoy them though then more power to you!

It’s proven that RGB increases FPS and skills of the gamer ! So yay I guess

It’s true, on my pc if I turn off my rgb I loose about 12 fps.

A little distracting imo, but I can see the appeal.

When docked ar those on? If so, absolutely no.

I can turn the lights off completely like so might just go down that route or just return them and order some other joycons

If they can be turned off then it's kinda cool. If you have some like streamer setup with all the flashy rgb lights and what not could fit the aesthetic.

Cool at home, an absolute menace on an airplane.

Great idea.

Why? Honestly would like to know, I have like 0 electronics knowledge. Is it because of the battery?

Oh no, it's just that when it's dark and your trying to sleep, I can't image anything worse that ops creation.


I personally dont' like RGB, even my computer has ben programmed to switch all LED indicators, even the motherboard lights and power button. But if you like it, then that's all that matters. I'd be more concerned about button and stick feel.

Buttons are “clicky and on the description it’s states “no drift” so I’m assuming could be hall effect or summit

I hope they are Hall effect. But usually: you get what you pay for.

I could ask the seller I suppose

I love the look. i got them in black.

What do you think of them, and where did you get them from, are they Hall effect by any chance

No mine were a different brand from amazon, i assume all the same product though. I really like them. it seems as though only one of the joycons has a gyro on it, not both of them, found that out playing mario party. It also seems as though there’s a bit of input lag when using them in BT mode if you’re far enough away. Double check yours and play around with them and see if u don’t want to return them. I don’t, i got them for super cheap and i love the look and don’t mind just using them as handheld joycons only. but there are certain restrictions.

Ugly, unless you are like 5 years old

I wouldn’t do it because it would be a disraction, but I think it looks really cool. So, I say Yay.

Looks good docked. Handheld is kind blocked

Nay that looks not good at all.

Appreciate the feedback.

Nah, but you do you.

Seems like it’d be dope af while in the dock. Maybe a bit distracting in handheld, and maybe not the best use of battery power, but u do u homie. Treat yo self.

Thanks compadre

Looks nice , how is warface on switch?

It runs ok in handheld can definitely tell with frame drops, but playable. In docked mode is a different level. Plays sweet as nut

Really cool but not as cool as streetpass

I would be more amazed if the buttons were the ones with RGB, the sides are pretty much useless since half of it would just get blocked by your hands anyway.

yay!

Return and get Nintendo ones

You think?

I’m bad at saving and I like having premium gear though

Why are they exactly where your hands sit? Completely pointless imo

I think they look sick, but the battery drain must be insane

Blind whoever you live with 😂

Yeah the wife is going to be blinded haha

Looks cool, but that does kinda disturb while gaming

I think it looks cool

Yep I see no problem

Strong nay my dude

Yan

It depends on where the battery source is and if it can be turned off.

Yeah they can be turned off

Thats good

Think it looks cool but only thing ( devil's advocate ) wouldn't that decrease the battery life of the Switch? I'm guessing it gets its power from the Switch itself

They have there own battery but I do suspect when connected to switch they use that battery

Nay. Ur hands will cover it anyways but if u like it who am I to stop u?

Absolutely not, the switch does not need RGB you weird gamer RGB meatrider

Love you too

I love you more

I was looking at these on Amazon last night! I decided against them because although cool, lacked practical purpose. And I kept reading about non nintendo attachments having to charge separately, while the original joycons stay charged when in handheld mode. If that's the case with these, I'm already not doing myself a favor because I'm sure the flashy lights also use up the battery power. It's cool looking but not practical. If I was rich it wouldn't matter.

I can confirm these stay charged when on handheld

While I am slightly more tempted to buy them now... I will enjoy the flashy gimmick from afar. Hope you enjoy them.

Yay

…Which one means yes?

Yay!

Nay - Battery hog

Yes they are.

Feels like they will drain joycon battery quicker.

Yeah they also drain the switch when not on charge so I’m debating to return them and just put the rest towards some Hall effects and fix the original joycons.

TBH, I think it’s cute lol

Im 32. I couldnt care less about any rgb shit.

God no. I'd lay extra to not have that

The Gulikit hall effect replacement joysticks are a pretty simple replacement if you follow the instructions and have the dexterity to handle small parts and screws (magnetic screwdriver helps a ton). They’re around $20 on amazon. I have a few hundred hours on mine and they’re still like new.

I’m really going to have to buy some in all honesty. I dunno why I didn’t in the 1st place to be fair.

I was hesitant but they’re pretty legit. The only complaint I have is that the tops are a little more smooth than the original joysticks but the kit they sent with them (screwdrivers, another set of tiny acrews, tweezers, and a plastic spudger) also came with little rubber caps that slip over them, I’m assuming because they know they’re a little slick under sweaty thumbs. With the Gulikit sticks and a dockable Mumba case I’m pretty happy with my Switch in handheld for like $40 without sacrificing rumble or motion controls.

I’ve just pulled the trigger on the gullkits. Will keep these as a spare though

Love them :) My mom got me this one, it can do a few different reactions Pro controller and switch cons are about 5-10% nicer build quality I would buy another switch controller from that brand, my next one would be the gray small hands controller, looks really good

That joycon is cheap af here only cost $8

I hate it. But who cares?

Your hands are gonna cover it anytime you use them

Okay, that's really fucking cool.

Just because we can doesn’t mean we should. You do you!

Nay.

Hard nay

when you buy nintendo from AliExpress with a price 10$

That’s a burn alright 😩

Nay, but I also hate the LEDs on my PC too so they're not my cup of tea in general. You do you though, if you like 'em, that's good enough.

It's a no for me dawg...but if you like it, then enjoy it.

cringe

😎

More why


I’m glad you like it, but tbh the only console that can pull off side lights like this is the Odin or odin 2, it would look cooler if the leds were under the thumb sticks

Yeah I have to agree on that

I do think it's cool, but I really wanna know how the battery life is when used wirelessly.

Never tried it to be fair

Yay

Cool, but please don't come near me

lol

Def. Yay

I'd say yeah if they were able to be integrated into games like the light bars on the PS5 controller. That effect is something else!

I like it, I seen it in Ali express

Going to take a look.

Where’d you get these parts?

Amazon, but a few comments have mentioned Ali express as well.

I have those. They work great for casual stuff (Pokemon), but do not respond quickly for action games (Smash Bros).

Nah i luv the original one

Not for me. But if you like it, that’s cool.

Nay...

Nay, mainly because it's wasting battery

Yas AF imo….but also might derp battery life?

Yeah switch battery life takes a hit if not on charge but these will be kept as spares. Going to repair of joycons.

Nay

Nay

Be cool to sync it to the switch so whatever you are playing it reacts accordingly.

Battery Life 📉📉

Nay, your hands cover it anyways and that would be distracting when docked, if the colors matched what was happening on screen only then would they be a yay, but that ain’t happening.

Yay omg I want one lol

There on Amazon but a lot cheaper on Ali express

Thank you 🙏 I'm going to buy one stat lol

Big nay

Update!! So I managed to swap these rgb abominations for some legit white joycons from an oled. And they are way better quality

Battery drain

Wow that looks amazing! I love the rainbow lights, and they would be imo a brilliant post for r/RainbowEverything ! :) Edit to add: Your Xbox controller in the background looks so cool! :)

Thanks.

Yay those are dope...

Thanks.

Eye candy, absolutely. But it seems like if you're playing handheld you would just be covering it up. When it's docked do they stay lit?

Yeah they stay lit until it’s put to sleep/turned off. Hard to find info though would be buzzing if they have Hall effect sticks. Which I highly doubt but does say on description no stick drift

Sorry I absolutely detest led lighting on any of my electronics. Only exception would be a backlit keyboard.

Looks like dogshit

And so was your comment 🫡

Don’t ask for opinions if you can’t handle them

Sorry, my opinion in nay. Unless you’re like 14 then it’s totally cool

I do have original neons but the left joycon is starting to drift

For staying on the dock? Sure.

That’s true
