ECHZOVE Nintendo Switch OLED Controller Grip

First, don't miss the key to getting this connected:
Home > System Settings > Controllers and Sensors > Pro Controller Wired Communication > On
(You'll need a different already-paired controller to make that happen.)

The feel of this product far surpassed my expectations. The buttons have a nice, solid click without being "clicky" or difficult. The gyroscope works great. Out of the box, this worked with high precision without fiddling with settings. I was impressed with how tight the response is.

The sticks feel a little small and hard. They're about Switch Joycon size, but, they're a hard plastic. They don't feel great in your hand. I recommend purchasing a "joycon thumb grip" which come in a variety of fun styles - find one you like, and the controller will feel quite a bit better. (At least it did for me.)

The fit in the system itself wasn't perfect. It's got a tad bit more room on one side than the other (I do not have the OLED model Switch). Besides being very slightly off center, it was able to rock side to side slightly. I wasn't worried about the console too much, but I would have felt better if it had a tighter tolerance. It connected just fine even if it was imperfect. The felt style backing was nice and helped hug the console into place. I'm not worried about the controller scratching my console.

Overall, I like this a lot. It's ergonomic, light weight, and a much better feel than the OEM controllers. If you play in handheld mode often and you're looking for something that works better, this is a great option.

- 💙 made things easier for my son 💙

We aren't big gamers but my son is Mario obsessed. He his rough on things because he is non-verbal and becomes frustrated. He is also still learning cause and effect. So he doesn't understand the need to be delicate with the traditional joycons, or why they pop off when he playing the switch hand-held. This has resulted in him breaking one joycon trying to get it back on by himself. He tried jamming it one when it wasn't lined up, got it stuck then manhandled it off, causing it to break. So, when I saw this all-in-one handheld controller grip, I jumped at it. I saw it being easier for him to handle and it would prevent the controller popping off problem for him. This has worked perfectly for us and I'm so happy we found it. It has helped him be more independent and prevented his frustrations. I absolutely love it!

I love how the Nintendo Switch makes high end gaming portable. But I'm not a big fan of the joycons. Their thin flat design feels uncomfortable in my hands. I saw this controller and thought it might be able to help.

I have the original switch and it fits fine in this console. The buttons are comfortable to push. I wish the thumb sticks had a larger diameter; they feel a bit small. The rumble isn't HD rumble, but it isn't annoying. The rumble reminds me a bit of the GameCube rumble. The kickstand is better than the original kickstand. I love the integrated game card holder. My favorite part about this is the round grips on each side. This fits my hands a lot better. It also has four additional macro buttons, but I haven't found a use for them yet.

One issue I had is that this did not work at first. In order to get it to work, I had to turn on USB controllers in the Switch settings. After that, it worked flawlessly.

Overall, I like this product. It makes portable gaming on the Switch comfortable.

This makes your Switch feel more like a Steam Deck.

The joycons are light, minimal, and it's great to be able to split/use as two-controllers, but if you're just playing single player games, you'll want something like this to play with - it feels so much better.

I like the typical blue/red Switch combo look.

It has additional programmable buttons on the back, and game cartridge storages (up to 4) and a kickstand.

It docks via USB-C, but there's also a USB-C input (for charging) on the bottom right side)

The only thing that would make this better is it worked like a joycon/wireless.

All in all, I'm really liking this controller grip. It is so much more comfortable than just using the regular base joy cons for handheld mode.

Pros -

Comfortable grip, and pretty easy to hold.

Felt lining where you insert the Switch and for the extra little game slots.

Joysticks feel solid, responsive, and have textured ridges on the top so your thumbs don't accidentally "slip".

Nice vibration.

Has some heft to it and doesn't feel "cheap".

Cons -

Some people might not like the weightiness. It's not super heavy, but some might be more sensitive to it than others.

The instruction manual is not 100% up-to-date or clear about how to connect it initially. However, it's easy enough to figure out what they mean, but it should still be updated to be more accurate.

The charging port on the bottom right side is really easy to miss.

The buttons on the back are a bit awkwardly positioned to press, but I don't have any games (so far) where I need them, so it's not an issue for me personally.

Overall though, I'm really liking this controller grip!
