#joycons

I ordered these on Aliexpress and swiftly canceled them after having a think about it. Apparently they were sent anyways. And you know what? I kinda hate them, actually, so bully on me for inadvertently saving $34 on an item sale that's generally priced at $80 to $90.

The ergonomics are very good, shoulder buttons are a crisp click, they're bundled with a bunch of good features, but they have goddamned Omron mouse-click buttons on both the directional buttons and ABXY. I abhor the feel of these specific Omron switches when used as joycon buttons, and they seem to be the same Omron switches as are used in the Mobapad M6 HD joycons I actually did buy with my own money, thought were horrible, and benched forever.

In all respects they are a lesser Mobapad set, having most of the same feature-set with none of the customizability (replaceable stick caps and d-pad module), no NFC connection, inferior rumble, and a similar price-point. In general feel and ergonomics I also find them a step down from the Hyperion Pro controller set which had rubber membrane ABXY buttons, a much shorter button throw on its d-pad, and had replaceable stick caps, all at a lower price.

How to Pair Switch 1 Joycons with the Switch 2

Glad that they made this possible, as I'm pretty sure only a few games would need the original Joycons.

They still connect to my laptop and to steam but the controls are all wrong. Like if I press A to go forward a screen instead it acts like a cancel button and goes back a screen. Yknow?

And the first joycon I connect the little green square light goes to the top of its bar but then the second joycon the little light goes to the square below that?

I cross my fingers that the joycon 2's sticks aren't soldered to the board so that we can still have easy replacements. if that is the case:
