Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Nintendo Joy-Con Replacement Controllers - FUNLAB Switch Joycon Pair with Grip, Turbo/Vibration/Motion Functions, Macro Button (Turquoise/Purple) by Duy Desperado

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great 3rd party controller! A real D-PAD!

I was looking for a good non first batch controller as a spare. The first thing that drew me to this pair was the price, value for money and colorway. They look pretty sleek and I like the M handle that comes with them. The bottom part protrudes a bit, which is very convenient for your hands when playing handheld or with the M-grip! Pros: Easy to get in and out of the Nintendo Switch. Closes tightly like normal original devices. Micro USB charging ports on the side. Charges through the Switch when connected to the docking station. The Rumble Pack appears to be more durable than the Nintendo joystick. Feelings are really good! The joycon feels "sharper". The thumb grip feels better than traditional controllers, and the joystick is slightly raised. No drifting or anything like that after hours of Mario gameplay. The actual feel of both is really good. The bottom protrusion allows you to better hold it in your hands in portable mode. And a real D-PAD on the left joystick! It is very good. Probably just bought it for that reason. The SL and SR buttons on the grip are crisper and easier to press with my fat hands when used in single joycon mode. Works with built-in stand even with joysticks attached! Cons: The charge indicator bleeds through the plastic so you can see the flashing green when the joycon is paired. The extra buttons don't really bother me. I don't really need them, although I don't care. I bet they are good for other players or accessibility. Build quality, while not bad for a third-party controller, definitely feels below Nintendo standards. When you attach and use the stand, the Nintendo can easily fall off. (Though you can just pull them out!) Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons. I will probably buy a second pair!

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Clarity
