Review on 2021 New Wireless Switch Controller for Console Pro Gamepad with Joystick - Non-Slip Ergonomic Design (Black) by Dawn Bias

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Durable, with excellent tactile feedback!

I bought this controller to use exclusively on my PC. Binbok BBUS-YS08-001 is Qiaoting's lightweight Bluetooth controller designed for use with the Nintendo Switch platform. Like many Switch Pro controllers, it features dual analog sticks, a 4-way navigation pad, thirteen buttons, a gyroscope, haptic feedback, a pairing button, and a hard reset button. The plastic body is of good quality, the buttons feel solid enough, and the LED indicators are clear and quite bright. I just want to point out that my favorite part of this controller is the haptic feedback. It's powerful enough to complement the games that support it. The packaging is excellent; Including foam rings and a plastic shell to prevent damage while using resources like space and plastic responsibly. The controller can be connected to a PC using the included USB-C cable. With a wired connection, most functions of the controller work properly. Windows 10 does not support gyroscopic functions. I'll talk about their connection a little later. Pairing wirelessly with a PC is simple and straightforward. Use the "Pairing" button to turn on the controller and it will enter pairing mode. From there, using Windows 10's native Bluetooth pairing is enough to connect the device. However, the input style used by all Switch wireless controllers is not natively supported by Windows. Two third-party applications can be used to enable the wireless control function. Valve's Steam platform is free and performs the software emulation needed to get the controller. works almost 100%. After installing Steam, enter the "Big Picture" mode in the View menu. Then select the gear icon and choose Controller Settings. You will see it there and should select "Support Switch Pro configuration" and then also "Use Nintendo key layout". Keep Steam enabled and you'll get support for this controller on any gaming platform. However, Steam does not support the gyro functions of the controller. You can download Steam from store.steampowered.com ReWASD is a comprehensive gamepad mapping tool by Disc Soft Ltd. You might remember them as the creators of Daemon Tools. ReWASD's functionality is extensive, allowing you to remap any button, emulate a keyboard or mouse with your controller, and it also includes turbo and macro support. But the most important thing is that you can also use the gyro functions in this Binbok Switch Pro Controller. It's not free, but the benefits far outweigh the costs in my opinion. You can download ReWASD from rewasd.com. In summary, the controller makes a reliable and durable impression at first glance. I think it could benefit from a larger amp-hour battery, but it's by no means underpowered.
