This is hands down the best joy con replacement for playing Switch handheld, and I’ve used pretty much all of them.
It doesn’t have a battery and is treated as a pro controller by the Switch. The USB C passthrough works perfectly as long as the charger can do 15v, and the official charger works normally. The OLED Switch is secure enough that it’s not going to slide out accidentally, but it’s not a challenge to get it out intentionally. The OG Switch is looser and easier to remove, but I just put one in and shook it around a bunch (for science of course) and it didn’t feel like there was any risk of it escaping. You do have to be a little more careful to make sure the OG Switch’s port is lined up with the connector when putting it in though.
The lights don’t look as garish as the pictures and don’t use much power. Some of the settings are pretty cool looking, but thankfully you can just turn them off. I was worried about how the clear plastic would feel, but the underside is nicely textured similar to a Series X controller, but a little coarser with a pyramid shaped diamond pattern instead of raised dots.
The vibration is pretty good and better than other 3rd party controllers I’ve used. It is adjustable and the high settings are really very strong. I use the second highest, the highest is a little too intense for me. Even on high it doesn’t rattle or buzz and is fairly quiet.
The sticks are improved over previous iterations of these controllers. There is only one programmable back button on each side though. There is also turbo which I haven’t ever tried. It also has motion controls that actually work!
The bottom of it under the screen and the tip of the grips are flat and it functions as a stand if you set the flat part on a table. It is another feature that was surprisingly well executed.
The button presses have about the same feel as Series X, but flatter like on Nintendo consoles. The D pad is slightly clicky, but not loud. It’s exactly like the one on Xbox One controllers, to the point that it might just be the same part, or a really good clone. The shoulder buttons are almost exactly like the Switch Pro controller, but L and R have a slightly clicker feel.
It is super light, my scale put it at about 8.8 ounces or 250 grams. It has the best feel and balance weighteise that I’ve ever had playing a handheld.
