1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,520
What up? It's your boy Riley back to take another look at kind of a weird product because that's my ammo apparently on this channel

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,640
Next we go sponsor this video so we can take a look at the grip con which is both a Nintendo switch controller and

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,580
a dock for like five bucks more than the

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,640
Standard price of a Nintendo switch dock, which I mean, I'm not good at math, but if I was

5
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,720
If I was doing some then it would feel good that right there

6
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,400
This thing has apparently got hall effect joysticks. It has customizable button

7
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:42,920
Macros in some form and so there's lots to take a look at before we get too deep into the features

8
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,560
Let's just take a look at the actual hardware. It comes with this little box here with extra

9
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,560
Joystick covers on it. Oh, they look like they're bigger. Maybe nice

10
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:57,660
We got documentation. Well, actually before we look at the documentation look at that

11
00:00:57,660 --> 00:01:03,480
Ooh, I always like a good like a fabric II felt II looking

12
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,600
Feeling thing on tech. It's too often. The tech just like is not homey

13
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,640
I want to feel like I can go to sleep on it and that's not the case with this but

14
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:22,000
There's a chance most of this stuff is just talking about like oh, these are the Nintendo switch buttons on the like standard Nintendo switch controllers

15
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,440
But whoo, I like those colors, but we also have some extra buttons

16
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:33,920
Especially on the back look at those. Okay, let's do a little overview quick starts guide safety guidelines

17
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,080
Be safe when gaming. It's important. Listen to your mom in this scenario. That's me. I'm your mom

18
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:47,240
Obviously on this side, you know joystick minus button d-pad settings button and a

19
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,120
Capture button on this side. We got the plus button

20
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,440
the letter buttons other joystick home button and T

21
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,480
Which is the turbo button which will allow you to you know

22
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:08,400
Specify any one of these buttons that you want the controller to mash for you in button mashing situations

23
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,160
Which and switch games? We know we know they're there

24
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,560
Okay, when we look at the rest of the controller though things diverge a little bit

25
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:25,920
Obviously, we got the trigger buttons and shoulder buttons here But we also have the USB-C charging port the HDMI output for when you're in docked mode

26
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:31,680
It's a switch. So it's gonna output at 1080p not anything super super fancy for now

27
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:38,960
Nintendo and a USB a port for you know, when you're in docked mode if you want to attach extra wired

28
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,560
Controllers, I'm assuming over here. We got two spaces for game card storage

29
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,480
So the switch itself is going to have the cartridge slot and then you can have two extras

30
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,200
You know if you want to pop and pop if someone challenges you to a duel in the street

31
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:00,460
You got to be ready now over here are those back buttons. I was talking about and these

32
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:07,520
Unlike the turbo button, which will just mash stuff on the back these buttons will you can you can set macros

33
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:14,000
So if you hold it and press some buttons, we'll we'll figure it will show you later down here is the

34
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:22,400
Button to switch between docked and handheld mode when you have an HDMI connected and down here a kickstand

35
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,520
So it's like it's not just that it's like a dock, you know a fake dock. It's like it's it'll stand up

36
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:38,120
It'll be fancy. It'll have some class and then of course There's the USB-C port at the bottom there, which is what we're gonna slide the switch into right now

37
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,040
Okay Big moment, okay

38
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,080
This is that feels wrong at a certain level

39
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:53,160
But it also feels like right like this feel look at this this could be a product that came together

40
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,280
Nintendo it's gonna be fine. It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be fine. It's gonna be I know. It's a third-party controller. Oh

41
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:06,240
Feel good. I Was a joke, but it did feel really nice clicks in dang

42
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,120
I mean, it's like it's the same click as the as the Joy-Cons actually now

43
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,520
I'm curious about how to do I just does it just pop out without you don't have to press a

44
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,280
release button You just slide it out

45
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:27,960
That is very satisfying it's just working. I mean no set up necessary apparently to get the basic features working here

46
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:33,000
But what you're supposed to do is go to settings controllers and sensors

47
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:41,680
Pro controller wired communication. It's already on we're in pro mode already on this channel

48
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:48,320
Normal mode only normal mode even though I've got the nexico grip con on my side. I

49
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:56,000
like how meaty The the buttons feel like obviously compared to the original switch

50
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:02,720
Controller buttons. They're very clicky, you know, it's like a small little thing, you know for for a handheld console

51
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,960
They did pretty good, but this button is like it's got some weight to it

52
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,640
There's longer travel distance and there appears to be a pretty solid

53
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:18,040
Tactile bump still like there's a I've used some Xbox controllers that feel kind of mushy like it's a big button

54
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:24,080
It's got some travel. It feels like you're pressing something significant, but it doesn't really have that to kind of bump to it

55
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,840
This has a very satisfying Bump and I think all of the buttons do more or less

56
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,720
mmm, I Can immediately tell that this is a hall effect joystick

57
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,360
What do you huh? What's that? I

58
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:46,560
Love this game So the vibration is I think pretty strong

59
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,520
I actually like it, but thankfully nexico has a feature where you can adjust the intensity of the vibration

60
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,440
So and that's through the controller not through Nintendo's software. So that's pretty cool

61
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,800
It's so weird in games like this that the jump and shoot are different buttons, right?

62
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,720
Like but like I want to jump and shoot and you have to you have to do this

63
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:14,240
Maybe I've just you know, I grew up as a console gamer and I've been PC gaming for so long now that the idea of

64
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:23,480
Only using this Thankfully nexico has thought about people like me who are frustrated by that so that we have that we have the macro buttons

65
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,360
We're gonna map them. I'm gonna map jump to this one and

66
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:36,280
Maybe on this one, I'll map like four different buttons. We'll see we got to hit the setting button for two seconds until an LED shows up

67
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,800
Okay, all right now that LED is shining bright and

68
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,680
I'm going to press the button you want to map

69
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,200
for me, that's that and then I press the back button and

70
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:59,600
And Now it's solid white the solid white means that it's set successfully every time you press this key

71
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:08,760
An angel gets its wings Okay, so I mapped jump and now I can jump and shoot like look at this

72
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,360
No one could stop me if I'm at the same time. So

73
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,240
From now on if I'm jumping it's cuz I'm pressing this bad boy

74
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,880
I'm not pressing B. I'm not even gonna touch be ever again

75
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:28,600
Even when I go home Okay, I'm gonna map the other button to this like aim and fire

76
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:34,680
Combo for the secondary weapon. All right, so let's enter mapping mode again

77
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,120
With the setting button. It's blinking. I have to have the timing right

78
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,360
I have to hold the button until it's charged and then fire boom

79
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:52,540
boom Okay, so now I'm gonna map that to this one. So when I press that right button

80
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,920
It does it

81
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:07,120
I'm probably the best Samus ever Now I'm gonna go beat the boss like okay. Yes, normally I wouldn't be prepared, but I got Hall effect joysticks

82
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,680
We're gonna map a turbo button before I go into the boss just so I'm prepared

83
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,960
But apparently I didn't know this you could set the you can set the turbo button to automate

84
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:23,440
Button mashing on one of these buttons, but you can also adjust the speed you can either activate it 12 times per second

85
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,040
Which is the default or 20 times per second

86
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,400
Okay, I'm good. It's gonna be fire. So hold this and

87
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,680
Then press this Hopefully that worked. We'll see. Oh

88
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:42,800
Here we go. Okay. Okay. Ah Boom boom. Oh, I'm scared. I'm scared. I don't know how to play this game. Oh gosh

89
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,400
Yeah, no, this is a bad idea. Oh use the turbo button turbo. Oh, it didn't work

90
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,040
Got him. Okay, so we figured it out if you hold the button and press turbo

91
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,160
You're gonna enter semi-auto mode. So by holding them down the button

92
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:04,680
It's not it's as if I'm not holding it down I'm just pressing it over and over and over again, and I can start and stop that if I

93
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:11,440
Hold the button and press turbo again It'll enter the second mode, which is full auto. That's just firing all the time

94
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,320
You're firing you're a firing your laser and you don't want to do anything else

95
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:22,000
Which in this case is what I want to do. So I'm going up to see the boss one more time. Let's go. Oh, here we go

96
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,080
Oh, he's he's he's done. He's done. He's done man. You're over. It's over fire. Oh

97
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:30,680
Jump jump jump jump jump

98
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,440
And I think that means I won

99
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,880
Thanks next ago He helped a little

100
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:47,240
Noob like me get to the championships now the last thing I just wanted to show here was that this thing has gyro control like a

101
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,880
regular You know Nintendo controller, so

102
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:59,760
There's that as well, I mean that probably looks horrible for you the viewer and you know, I would never recommend

103
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,440
Using this form of still see what hold on a second. What?

104
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:12,640
How does this? This is why you should never use it. I wouldn't use it, but the point is that it's there

105
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,840
So if you ever need to give your switch to your grandma to

106
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,840
distract her

107
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,240
The gyro control is there like in a regular Nintendo controller

108
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,320
Hey one day older Riley here back on set because we realized

109
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:37,520
We didn't actually test out the dock Functionality so we're gonna do that right now. Okay, so just like a regular dock. You have to plug into power

110
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,680
and then your HDMI going to your TV and

111
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:52,320
And we're there So I mean it's a it's a dock and like I said you can press that button on the back to switch between the TV and

112
00:10:53,320 --> 00:11:00,760
The console pretty quick switching from the TV to the console and it takes a bit more time switching from the console back to the

113
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:07,160
TV, but that's because it has to work harder to push the the frames uphill

114
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,840
That's one issue if you got a thick HDMI cable, then you might have some issues having it

115
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,160
Want to stay and there we go. Oh perfect Mexico thought of that

116
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:24,360
So yeah, if you want the traditional dock experience you can set it down there and use another controller or you know

117
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:30,600
You can still use this controller as well If you want to play with other people and project to a to a TV

118
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,960
So and this is what playing switch looks like just you know

119
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,760
Cool. There's the dock functionality

120
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:44,960
BAM Well overall I'm pretty happy with the experience I had with this thing. It's 65 bucks

121
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:51,800
Again five dollars more than the Nintendo dock, but you get like a whole controller with it with extra features

122
00:11:51,800 --> 00:12:00,280
It comes in a couple of colors actually I forgot to say There's this purple one and this blue one and they all have this sort of like you know that kind of I don't know if

123
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:05,920
Probably can't legally call it atomic Purple or whatever, but it's you know, it's that's it's that see-through

124
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,120
Design that has come back into style and thank goodness

125
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,260
so if you have other aesthetic sensibilities than just

126
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,080
Minimalist black option then those are there for you. I

127
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:23,680
Didn't even put the the little extra things on and hey, you know what they kind of look like tires

128
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,360
Look at that. So if you want to play Mario Kart with those it might make it better

129
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,280
If any of this peaks your interest there's a link in the description

130
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:40,360
You can go check out the nexigo grip con and if anything else peaks your interest when it comes to unboxing products
