Review on Fixture S1 Original Controller Nintendo Nintendo Switch by Garrett Craven

Anyone who's played the Nintendo Switch knows it's uncomfortable to hold. Analog sticks and Joy-Con buttons are small and cannot be gripped with fingers on the back of Joy-Cons. To potentially solve this problem, Fixture S1 is a mount that allows you to connect the Switch to a Pro controller for handheld use. There are cheaper ones available on the Revain, but they don't quite match the quality of the plastic or the design of the hinges on the S1 (there are no tripod-style knobs to tighten like the cheaper mounts). There are two hinges, one where the S1 connects to the Pro controller and the other where it connects to the Switch, which allows you to find the exact angle you want, and the hinges are very strong, so this one Angle is maintained until you adjust it.. alone. . You can also remove the Pro controller from the S1 and use it as a tabletop stand. Unfortunately, you can't flip the switch to play games in portrait mode. As for the cons, the S1 snaps onto your pro controller and can cause minor scratches at the contact points. I'm not sure how this can be avoided without severely weakening the S1's ability to stay connected to the Pro's controller, but it's an issue. I think the big concern is the weight of this combination. While you can tilt the Switch so that its center of gravity is higher than the Pro Controller's center of gravity so it's not as heavy, the combined weight of the S1, Switch, and Pro Controller isn't light. Switch (without Joy-Cons) = 10.56 ounces 2 Joy-Cons = 3.52 ounces S1 = 3.1 ounces Per Controller = 8.3 ounces Switch with Joy-Cons weighs 14.08 ounces. Switch (no flaws), S1 and Pro Controller weigh 21.96 ounces. You're essentially trading the convenience of the Pro controller's grips and large analog sticks/buttons for about half a pound of extra weight. You have to decide for yourself whether this compromise is worth it. I decided that the added comfort of the S1 wasn't worth the extra weight.
