For those wondering about the longer joysticks. It helps with aiming. You get a much better "fov" with the precise aiming. Definitely not something most people buy separately. But it's a nice thing to have
personally its hard to see the difference with pictures or online, it looks better in person but for the price it's at, i for one wouldn't buy one. Edit* Just realised it wasnt the mclassic, woops. Yeah hard to notice a difference with this mcable as far as jaggies go, but the contrast does look nicer
Honestly the Satisfye grip is actually crazy good. I didn't actually realize how much holding the switch in handheld was bothering my hands until I bought one and threw it on lmao. Didn't get mine on sale personally but it was definitely worth the price then. I legit think I couldn't possibly play Ninja Gaiden in handheld mode without them :"^).
Couldn't get a grip on my switch lite until I ordered the sitisfy grip lite and the case is crazy good dropped it off 3rd floor window so my wife could take a switch with her and our son to the doctors office she of course didn't catch it but everything was safe inside after falling 40 foot onto concrete driveway
i have liked grips since the dawn of man but i just never went through the trouble of trying to find a good one. i got the one sold at GameStop and i like it. but now i want to re play metroid 2 for obvious reasons and i dont own one for my 3ds cuz i never tried getting one :(
@@bland9876 look on Amazon you'll find one and safer than eBay if you don't get it or anything's wrong Amazon will make sure you're satisfied even if it's sold by a 3rd party
I definitely bought the grip after seeing one of your videos when my switch was about 3 days old. My boyfriend even said that I cared more for the accessories than buying more games at the time 😅. Can't live without it and glad that I listened to you, I even bought as a gift for my brother who had the switch longer than I did. Thank you!
Yeah. Just a bit more contrast in my opinion and that's it. I watched the video in 1080p and I can hardly notice any difference whatsoever in terms of antialiasing or image crispness. $130 for that thing is a total ripoff.
@@Loading_______ Well, you've already got a vested interest in it being "worthwhile". No one wants to admit they bought something that doesn't do much even when working exactly as intended.
For someone when they first started watching Woods videos back in the end of 2019 and was very skeptical of the Satisfye grips since they were a sponsor, to finally buying one in March 2020 and can say this, he is 100% correct about it I will always use it when it is not in docked mode, it is fantastic and a must have if you play in handheld.
I love my pro controller for docked play, but I took my Switch on a year long deployment where I played entirely in handheld mode and was extremely happy with my Satisfye grip. Unless you never play in handheld, you won't regret getting one.
The mClassic works exactly the same as the mCable. It just has the ability to output in 4:3 instead of stretching anything. Not sure why you think it’s worse? Also, the FUSION controller feels awesome, but it lacks rumble and the audio Jack only works when wired, which disables motion controls for some reason. With those features missing, $100 seems kinda crazy.
And the upscaling is up to 1440p with the mClassic which works great on my monitor. I don't understand the statement that the mCable should be better either.
@@cosmiclikesminecraft Maybe because you get an extra HDMI cable? The mClassic is only a dongle without a cable. I asked the Company about their products. They said the same. mClassic > mCable Basically I did know that before. So they just confirmed it again. Here is what they said: If you don’t need an extra HDMI cable, I will definitely recommend mClassic. The mClassic is very similar to the mCable but with a few differences: 1) the mClassic is a dongle that goes in between an HDMI cable and the console vs the mCable which is obviously a cable 2) the mClassic has a few extra features that the mCable does not: - 1440p/2K output support - Pass through mode (which is basically an "off" mode which doesn't require you to unplug the unit") - Retro mode (which tunes the processor for retro consoles and changes the output aspect ratio to 4:3)
@@cosmiclikesminecraft someone already responded with some facts, but yeah I always assumed it was just because there was less material cost with the mClassic. The only way I could see there being any difference in image quality would be if you were using a super low-quality hdmi cable with the mClassic. But either way, I thought it was super weird to claim there was some big difference and the mClassic was worse, when the opposite is the case
@@cosmiclikesminecraft The mCable is the product they have to sucker dumb people into buying even though it's trash like the Mophie charging cases that used to be in Apple stores.
Must say, I love my Satisfye grip and have it on any moment it is undocked. HOWEVER, (tl;dr- consider your audience before buying the grip.) for anyone who doesn't know, one of the selling points is that the handles are asymmetrically angled to put your left thumb on the thumb stick but your right thumb on the buttons. My wife hates that because she plays most often with our Playstation and prefers the hand strain to the asymmetry (she's straight up kooky-dukes). My kindergartener, more reasonably, plays without the grips because they are too big for her hands.
Funny how while saying that the $100 Fusion controller "does everything", you FORGOT to mention that it does not support amiibo or even have ANY TYPE OF RUMBLE... They even put weights inside because without motors it was too light. So with almost twice the price of Pro controller it lacks basic feature and switch specific feature.... Shame on you
Oh dude I have a case like that for my psvita! Wow how time flies I got it back when I got my special edition vita in like 2015 or 16. It's the best case I have ever owned and I didn't even know they made more stuff since then. Thank you so much for this!
I'm 100% sure other people have had this issue, but each time I've used the satisfye, I get scuff marks on the back of my switch. I really hated that, so I switched to a company called Mumba. But other than that, I love what satisfye offers!
It’s not a major difference, and for most people no you wouldn’t notice it if you’re looking at overall resolution quality. If you pay close attention to borders of objects or character models though you can notice slightly more defined, less jagged and blurry edges as well as some deeper colors. A lot of people won’t be affected by this difference but it’s for those with an eye for those details. And some people might not even consider what this product does to necessarily be an upgrade, it’s all subjective. It also doesn’t show anywhere near as well in captured footage on TH-cam as it would if you were seeing the difference with the console on your own TV.
Just came back to this video after getting my Satisfy grip in the mail. It's SO GOOD. Literally can never go back. To everyone reading this who has a switch and not the grip - Get a grip.
I've been buying and collecting third party joycons in different styles and i don't use my original joycons anymore because it's so much more comfortable. I really wish they would redesign the joycons to be more comfortable or make their own official after market joycons in different shapes. I've never heard of the satisfy grip so I'm definitely going to look into getting it. 😄
I have the powerA controller. I love it! You DO need to have it plugged in and in USB mode to have the headphone jack to work. Fun video, just a little inaccurate.
Yea, the audio jack only works when plugged in, so it defeats the purpose. Maybe he just threw it in to this list cause he thought it worked wirelessly?
@@spyvexr5834 You don't need rumble and you DEFINITELY don't need NFC support. It's the best Switch controller out there and if you play tons of FPS's on Switch like Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal, it's the best controller to use because of the four mappable prongs on the back.
@@gamephreak5 for 100 DOLLARS 40 MORE THAN THE SWITCH PRO CONTROLLER WHICH HAS HD RUMBLE AND NFC it doesn’t has a very BASIC feature like rumble nobody needs that controller for switch games, if ur buying this 100 dollar controller for doom u definitely have a playstation or an xbox to play these games. The controller also doesn’t wake up ur system with the home button.
Wish i could get one that cheap. It's currently almost £100 to buy in the UK (from Amazon) so not much less than I paid for the switch itself. Just can't justify that price
IF YOU PLAY YOUR SWITCH PORTABLY OR HAVE THE SWITCH LITE YOU NEED THIS. I seriously didn't believe him for the longest time. But is seriously changes the entire handheld experience of the switch. SERIOUSLY.
It's totally worth it, dude. I absolutely love mine and I never take it off anymore. It just fits in my hands so perfectly and allows me to play for hours on end.
@@fadedfiction2733 being able to play in bed without your hands going numb made me buy one for my brother. It’s worth it, and makes it feel much more secure porting it around the house/wherever
No joke the Satisfye is the best thing ever. I have big hands and I playing the Switch without it gives me cramps and probably carpal tunnel. Plus I have to hold the thing up. The dude is right - I paid $30 for mine and it put a whole new lease of life on my Switch. Great invention!
Same I got the satisfy grip and it was nice but my L button quit working on my joycon so I bought one of the Hori split pads and I love it. Doesn't have rumble, motion, or amiibo scan so that's a downer.
The reason for switching the sticks to longer ones is for fps games mainly, it basically just gives you a bigger area for the aim stick. Like on the elite, i use the shortes on the left stick and the longest on the right.
I sometimes think about picking up the satisfye grip, but then I remember that I hate to play the switch portability and have only taken it out of the dock 3 times in 5 years. But the fusion Controller does look great!
I agree. I got mine to play on my TV. I have a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 controller. I'm not much a handheld player. I have a DS 2 but for my grandkids and some Zelda games. Glad I'm not alone! 😊
Thank the gods !!!! I found your video Wood. I was going on a hard-core Switch playing fest... 6 hours in, wrist were killing me had to stick it in dock mode (I'm old, like 20 years your senior old 😂). Why I waited to get the satisfye Pro. Who knows, i just ordered one. Made sure to used your link and even dropped the "beatemups" code. Thanks again for everything you do !!!
I agree that a grip and travel case are essential for every Switch owner. However, I prefer the feel of the Hori Split Pad Pro. Having the extra buttons can be nice in certain games, but they aren't something I use often. I tried out my brother's Satisfye grip, and I just didn't like it as much as the Split Pad Pro, its hard to explain why. Its just a subjective, feel thing. The case I have for it is the ButterFox Grip Case, which is also very nice :D The Split Pad Pro is also 100% dock compatible, which is a feature I especially like. I don't have to try and find a place to store the Pad while I am docked, and then don't have to worry about remembering to grab it when I go mobile.
nice to hear, would like to get a satisfye but it seems to be sold out everywhere (EU) or about 100 euros which is too much for a handle imo :p might check hori, thanks for the tip
@@joshyelverton5051 hey! I went for the skull & co neo grip bundle. Also got my pro controller on the side so I’m very happy with both (SC neo grip is also protective in the dock, and nice in hand)
the higher thumbsticks are mostly for better accuracy in shooters but considering this one comes with 2 high ones it's also for comfort for some people
I have an mclassic (which I think is better than the mcable because it outputs at 1440p as opposed to the mcable just going up to 1080p when using it on the switch properly) and while it doesn't make a huge difference in most games the ones that do look noticeably better make a huge impact on the experience, it is a must for me when playing Xenoblade 2, that game looks blurry as heck without it
I enjoy that you kept it simple for a people new to a switch. 3 accessories. But gotta say that donkey Kong barrel docking station does look pretty awesome
The satisfye grip is great comfort wise, but I own the original model without the little rubber bumpers and it permanently scratched the back of my limited edition within a couple weeks of use. I would’ve loved to get one for my lite but because of my prior experience I’m not willing to scratch another limited edition (Pokémon) switch.
That satisfye grip looks so nice! I really need one but that's well outta my price range atm. In the UK it's almost £100 so not much less than I paid for the switch itself!
@Anthony Jordan found one on Amazon by a different brand that I'm hoping will do the job. Delivery is very slow on it (it's not due until mid January) so I'm assuming it's coming from China or something. It's by a company called Skull&Co and it was £17.99. If i remember, I'll reply to this comment again once I've tried it and let you know if it's worth it or not. For that price though, i wouldn't really mind if it's not the best on the market as it didn't cost the earth
Thanks @@CraftyWitch1990 , I would love to hear about your thoughts on the lower cost grip after you receive it. The Satisfye is many times more than I would like to spend on a grip.
@Snow Paw came last week and it's pretty darn good for the price! Has a small section that needs to be unscrewed and removed if you have an original switch, leave it in if you have the OLED model so it fits both types. Comes with 3 extra sets of the bits that you hold in your hand (the actual grip parts i guess not sure if they have an actual name) and they're all different shapes and sizes so you can find one that fits your hand shape and size easily. For less than £20 i don't think you can go wrong with it. It's comfortable to use and holds the switch securely (i shook it to be sure)
If you’re ok with no rumble or motion controls, I’ve liked the split pad pro more (I have both and some 3D printed experiments). The controls are just so much of an improvement that I don’t miss the goodies
All the accessories seemed good, but the flip grip is the most important switch accessory in my opinion but I also play a lot of games using a vertical screen.
In my opinion the 8BitDo Pro 2 is the better option overall. You can customize EVERY single button, stick, back paddles and even the adjust and modify the rumble. Oh yes it has rumble support which the Fusion Pro does NOT have. It has Turbo/Macro support which the Fusion Pro does NOT have. It has multiple profile support which the Fusion Pro does NOT have. It supports multiple platforms like Android, macOS, Windows and Raspberry Pi. Missing features like no rumble, no macro, limited mappable buttons (only the back paddles are mappable) and having to choice between headphone support that only function if you're plugged in or wireless controls (can't do both at the same time) on a $100 pro/elite controller is just unacceptable now a days. Especially when you can easily get all that and more for half the price. Sometimes you can even get it for less than half the price as I bought my 8bitDo Pro 2 on sale for $30. When you compare these prices, it's really not worth it no matter how good the Fusion Pro feels. They came SOOOO close the being the best Switch Pro/Elite level controller. Was so disappointed how it left me wanting more which sucks. I ended up sending it back and keeping the 8bitDo Pro 2 instead. Fingers crossed that 8bitDo make a Elite style controller next since they pretty much got nearly all features of a Elite level controller down.
I almost bought one of those 8Bitdo controllers (because seriously, who wants to pay $70 for an official controller) until I saw someone link to an adapter that they (8Bitdo) made that allows me to play the Switch with my Dualshock 4's. :) The adapters for $20 a piece but I got 2 open-box ones from Best Buy for $30.
Well dang, I may have to save up for that cable, it definitely makes the games look better! I did recently get myself a 4K TV and with that cable, it would really make the visuals even better.
I love accessories even though I live in Argentina and I cannot get anything here hahaha, I also love your podcast with Erek! If you can you could make a video of 3D printed accesories for switch, that will be something I could get xD
@@Mrbingles9 Aw, that sucks. But according to Powera, they are also located in Argentina. Or use a special delivery service there... something like that.
READ THIS COMMENT heads up to everyone about the fusion controller. it is a hundred dollar controller with changeable faceplates, button mapping, extra joysticks, back pedals, gyro but it DOESN'T HAVE RUMBLE. pretty serious negative there that i wish you mentioned... the satisfye grip is pretty sick tho...
Interesting you prefer the mCable over the mClassic. Most reviews back in the day when both released rated the classic and the cable as identical. As for me I tested both and in my setup they seemed to also produce the same result. So now my SNES is attached to the classic (because of the 4:3 mode) and my Switch is also attached to the cable. I think the difference in price is just due to the fact that one is a whole cable and the other is just an adapter.
I bought my satisfy grip, BECAUSE OF WOOD and this channel. I actually bought TWO, one for me and one for my son, and i NEVER play my Switch in portable mode unless the grip is on it. In fact, the second i take it out of the dock, the satisfy grip goes on. And without it, the switch feels like its this tiny, skinny thing that just feels horrible in my hands. And I can honestly say, thank you to wood for that. LAMO.
Ordered the Satisfye grip and case because of this video. Arrived today and I'm extremely pleased with the quality. I was previously using another company's grip, and while I enjoyed it and have nothing negative to say about it, I'm already in love with this new one! My old carrying case definitely pales in comparison to the Satisfye one. Nice thing is, all the old stuff can be hand me downs to my Niece. Thanks Wood for the video and recommendation!
I wanted to like the satisfye grip. I have no problems with grip it was comfortable and was great for certain types of games, but for me, I usually play 2d games and rpgs and the Skull and Co was just more comfortable. I do recommend the satisfye for any fps you might be playing on the switch tho
really want to get the controller, but not sure with the possibility of a new switch coming. love, love, love my satisfy grip though!! you convinced me to get one and it’s the accessory i absolutely can’t live without. i also got the traveling case with it too, which i also love
I got the satisfy grip and case combo when I first got my switch two weeks ago. Was honestly skeptical if I'd even like it, and it turned out I love it.
I have the the m classic. It works best on a 1440p display but DEFINITELY makes the image a bit sharper and makes the colors pop much more. Adds contrast. Also: grips are life and nice Razer laptop 😉👍
I got a satisfye grip because of you and i love it! I tried to play without it recently and it felt like i was trying to play with credit cards instead of controllers lol
I have a Q: You know the "thinnest switch case" that you have that allows the switch to even fit in the dock with the case on? Can the Satisfye Grip go ontop of that (as in while the thin switch case is still attached)? Asking because I has a paint job on my joycons and wanting to save it from wear and tear with the case.
I love the Satisfye grip. I’ve been using it since they started coming out. They’re the ones that got me into backing interesting things. Also, I’ve seen some knock-off grips. They don’t even come close to how awesome the satisfye grips are. Quality! By the way, did you see those thumb grips they’re making?!? They look amazing, I can’t wait to get mine in! It’s really neat, cuz they’ve expanded into making thumb pads for all consoles! They are going to be sweet!
I've used the satisfeye grip and it really is good. My only issue is the switch joycons itself. I've essentially completely swopped out the joycons for the Hori Splitpads. Those things are dumb comfortable! I'm not too bothered by rumble and the such but if you are then it won't be for you. That power A controller looks serious though!
I think you should sticky a note to inform potential buyers that the headphone jack only worked in WIRED mode. Defeats the point of having a wireless controller that is weighted so highly because it has an audio jack when the audio jack only works in the wired configuration. Also worth noting that it does not work with Amiibo at all, as well as that the motion controls do not function when the controller is used in wired mode. I enjoy your videos and appreciate the work you put into them. I think these are very important key points that need to be mentioned and clarified better so people aren't very disappointed when they get it home and find out its not quite how they understood it would be from your description ;) For a Splatoon player like myself where motion control is very important, it makes this controller unusable in a wired configuration and pointless to have when wireless if the purpose was to be able to use headphones with it at the same time.
Definitely planning on grabbing a satisfy grip. I am curious if they are going to come out with a satisfy grip for the new switch oled? If they do I may have to pick that one up as well.
Honestly, I will eventually get all of these. Switch accessories are like when the Wii came out, there's a ton of them and most are lacking quality. This vid helped me out a lot, because I've been wanting to get some good additions to my Switch and this just did it. Thanks Wood!
I actually have a portable dock for my switch for friends houses and stuff. It is just a thunderbolt hub with HDMI but I use that all the time. Kinda surprised not to see anything like that on your essentials list.
The satisfye grip is something i also got myself as soon as i heard of it for my switch and always use it in handheld mode and it is soo good! The case is also nice and use it when i take the switch with me.
OMG this is great…. That mCable looks amazing! Wish we had a discount code on that one lol. I am trying to figure out the difference in the cable vs that hub thing they make though… Anyone know why the cable is in fact superior? Is it worth the extra money over the classic hub like connector? It’s more of a hassle for me dealing with a cable in my setup too so I don’t wanna go there unless it’s worth the effort, lol.
I'm pretty sure the mclassic is the superior product over the cable. I've had the mclassic a short while now and it definitely makes some games significantly better looking. th-cam.com/video/R4zk4OFGt7Y/w-d-xo.html
@@kolatrl I have the mClassic too and love it. I was also wondering why Wood said the mcable was better, and why the cable is more expensive. The video you posted (watched it earlier lol) doesn’t really answer my questions. The mClassic does in fact seem superior, so why would the mCable be more?
I think the mClassic is better, it is newer and upscales the Switch output from to 1440p! I believe it costs less because you don't have to buy the actual HDMI cable. Also this: th-cam.com/video/O-RfJOmHMYI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks guys, yeah I confirmed with the manufacturer and they too said the Classic is actually superior as it’s the newer product and actually can go further. The cable is more because it includes the cable. Wood’s comment confused me LOL but it seems like we’re all on the same page now! I ordered the classic and can’t wait till it comes in.
Me watching this video: There's no way this Satisfye grip is as great as he's saying. The switch isn't THAT bad in handheld mode... *Orders the Satisfye grip* Me, the first time using the grip: Oh my god how have I ever lived without this???
Serious question, how does the Satisfye grip compare to the Yok Ergo grip? I know the Yok has built in game slots but I'm more curious about the ergonomics.

The mClassic works exactly the same as the mCable. It just has the ability to output in 4:3 instead of stretching anything. Not sure why you think it’s worse?

Question then what’s the reason the Mclassic is cheaper?
@@cosmiclikesminecraft Maybe because you get an extra HDMI cable? The mClassic is only a dongle without a cable.
I asked the Company about their products. They said the same. mClassic > mCable
Basically I did know that before. So they just confirmed it again.
Here is what they said:
If you don’t need an extra HDMI cable, I will definitely recommend mClassic.
The mClassic is very similar to the mCable but with a few differences:
1) the mClassic is a dongle that goes in between an HDMI cable and the console vs the mCable which is obviously a cable
2) the mClassic has a few extra features that the mCable does not:
- 1440p/2K output support
- Pass through mode (which is basically an "off" mode which doesn't require you to unplug the unit")
- Retro mode (which tunes the processor for retro consoles and changes the output aspect ratio to 4:3)
@@cosmiclikesminecraft someone already responded with some facts, but yeah I always assumed it was just because there was less material cost with the mClassic.

@@cosmiclikesminecraft The mCable is the product they have to sucker dumb people into buying even though it's trash like the Mophie charging cases that used to be in Apple stores.
And pre-ordered my Beatemups version, thanks for your amazing channel.
Must say, I love my Satisfye grip and have it on any moment it is undocked. HOWEVER, (tl;dr- consider your audience before buying the grip.)
for anyone who doesn't know, one of the selling points is that the handles are asymmetrically angled to put your left thumb on the thumb stick but your right thumb on the buttons. My wife hates that because she plays most often with our Playstation and prefers the hand strain to the asymmetry (she's straight up kooky-dukes). My kindergartener, more reasonably, plays without the grips because they are too big for her hands.
The only reason I haven't bought one is precisely because they don't offer a symmetrical version
I hate PlayStation thumbstick setup. Cramps and strain like crazy.
@@IDoABitOfTrollin I never used one but it looks painful
Funny how while saying that the $100 Fusion controller "does everything", you FORGOT to mention that it does not support amiibo or even have ANY TYPE OF RUMBLE... They even put weights inside because without motors it was too light. So with almost twice the price of Pro controller it lacks basic feature and switch specific feature.... Shame on you
The audio jack also only works in wired mode.
Rumble is overrated anyway.
thanks for the info
@@Sameranth You didnt see it on the Amazon listing? Lmao.
@@TritonGamezYT I didn’t look at the Amazon listing?
Satisfye is fricken awesome. Wish I would’ve waited for the sale but that’s alright!!
Yes
Doesn't seem to be selling in my country 🥲
@@mastaw try through Amazon.
Doesn’t matter they crank up the prices for the sales anyway
For some reason it won't ship to Canada?
Oh dude I have a case like that for my psvita! Wow how time flies I got it back when I got my special edition vita in like 2015 or 16. It's the best case I have ever owned and I didn't even know they made more stuff since then. Thank you so much for this!
I agree. The Satisfye grip with the case is truly a game changer . It doesn’t look like much until you try it .
I'm 100% sure other people have had this issue, but each time I've used the satisfye, I get scuff marks on the back of my switch. I really hated that, so I switched to a company called Mumba. But other than that, I love what satisfye offers!
I don’t even have a switch anymore but I still love watching this guys switch videos
The satisfy grip is honestly amazing! I put off buying a pro controller for years because it was just so comfortable in handheld
the satisfye grip is actually amazing. i bought one and i haven't taken it off my switch since i got it
The hdmi cable thing changed nothing in my eyes, it just looked the same.
Same, thought there was something wrong with my eyes for a sec.
It’s not a major difference, and for most people no you wouldn’t notice it if you’re looking at overall resolution quality. If you pay close attention to borders of objects or character models though you can notice slightly more defined, less jagged and blurry edges as well as some deeper colors. A lot of people won’t be affected by this difference but it’s for those with an eye for those details. And some people might not even consider what this product does to necessarily be an upgrade, it’s all subjective. It also doesn’t show anywhere near as well in captured footage on TH-cam as it would if you were seeing the difference with the console on your own TV.
@@sleepscience_ I feel like the josh around is always the most helpful person, thank you
Yeah. It's also expensive, so you can easily live without it
I bet you think 30fps and 60fps look the same too...
I didn't even know the HDMI cable was a thing. I'm about order it right now.
And, how is it?
BLESS US PLEASE
Don't drop $150 on a gimmick, it's not actually going to do what it claims
Just came back to this video after getting my Satisfy grip in the mail.
It's SO GOOD. Literally can never go back. To everyone reading this who has a switch and not the grip -
Get a grip.
Bro I got the Animal Crossing Statisfye grip for my graduation. That was great.
I've been buying and collecting third party joycons in different styles and i don't use my original joycons anymore because it's so much more comfortable. I really wish they would redesign the joycons to be more comfortable or make their own official after market joycons in different shapes. I've never heard of the satisfy grip so I'm definitely going to look into getting it. 😄
I have the powerA controller. I love it! You DO need to have it plugged in and in USB mode to have the headphone jack to work. Fun video, just a little inaccurate.
Yea, the audio jack only works when plugged in, so it defeats the purpose. Maybe he just threw it in to this list cause he thought it worked wirelessly?
@@Mrbingles9 which would be quite dumb of him
The controller is kinda trash for 100$ no rumble, nfc support AND FOR 100 DOLLARS.
@@spyvexr5834 You don't need rumble and you DEFINITELY don't need NFC support. It's the best Switch controller out there and if you play tons of FPS's on Switch like Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal, it's the best controller to use because of the four mappable prongs on the back.
@@gamephreak5 for 100 DOLLARS 40 MORE THAN THE SWITCH PRO CONTROLLER WHICH HAS HD RUMBLE AND NFC it doesn’t has a very BASIC feature like rumble nobody needs that controller for switch games, if ur buying this 100 dollar controller for doom u definitely have a playstation or an xbox to play these games. The controller also doesn’t wake up ur system with the home button.
i think it's time to update the video wood now switch has inbuilt blutooth :"D
Man, I agree with everything regarding the satisfye grip. I originally didn’t want to spend $30 on a grip. But man am I SO GLAD I did!
Wish i could get one that cheap. It's currently almost £100 to buy in the UK (from Amazon) so not much less than I paid for the switch itself. Just can't justify that price

You’ve talked about SatisFye enough that I finally just caved. The 50% off sale and you’re code was what convinced me. I can’t wait til mine comes
It's totally worth it, dude. I absolutely love mine and I never take it off anymore. It just fits in my hands so perfectly and allows me to play for hours on end.

@@prettylittleravenna Alright, I'll look into it.
No joke the Satisfye is the best thing ever. I have big hands and I playing the Switch without it gives me cramps and probably carpal tunnel. Plus I have to hold the thing up. The dude is right - I paid $30 for mine and it put a whole new lease of life on my Switch. Great invention!
I mean the grip would be nice.... if my joycons actually worked.
Me too :(
Same I got the satisfy grip and it was nice but my L button quit working on my joycon so I bought one of the Hori split pads and I love it. Doesn't have rumble, motion, or amiibo scan so that's a downer.
@@Azpec you could ship it to Nintendo maybe they can fix it
@@gamerwolf3392 yes I think I will. I'm out of warranty time so I might open it and see if I can fix it myself.
The reason for switching the sticks to longer ones is for fps games mainly, it basically just gives you a bigger area for the aim stick. Like on the elite, i use the shortes on the left stick and the longest on the right.
I remember watching ur "getting my switch" stream live omg throwback
Brought a SATISFY grip the same day I got my switch light as u recommended it in an old video and I definitly could not live without it
If I had to pick an accessory I couldn't live without, it would be the Satisfye Grip

Wood just so you know, PDP also offers wired Nintendo Switch controllers with audio jacks and swappable face plates 😊
“If you’re used to it you might be used to it.”
Pure poetry
I sometimes think about picking up the satisfye grip, but then I remember that I hate to play the switch portability and have only taken it out of the dock 3 times in 5 years. But the fusion Controller does look great!
I agree. I got mine to play on my TV. I have a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 controller. I'm not much a handheld player. I have a DS 2 but for my grandkids and some Zelda games. Glad I'm not alone! 😊
Thank the gods !!!! I found your video Wood. I was going on a hard-core Switch playing fest... 6 hours in, wrist were killing me had to stick it in dock mode (I'm old, like 20 years your senior old 😂). Why I waited to get the satisfye Pro. Who knows, i just ordered one. Made sure to used your link and even dropped the "beatemups" code. Thanks again for everything you do !!!
I agree that a grip and travel case are essential for every Switch owner. However, I prefer the feel of the Hori Split Pad Pro. Having the extra buttons can be nice in certain games, but they aren't something I use often. I tried out my brother's Satisfye grip, and I just didn't like it as much as the Split Pad Pro, its hard to explain why. Its just a subjective, feel thing. The case I have for it is the ButterFox Grip Case, which is also very nice :D The Split Pad Pro is also 100% dock compatible, which is a feature I especially like. I don't have to try and find a place to store the Pad while I am docked, and then don't have to worry about remembering to grab it when I go mobile.
nice to hear, would like to get a satisfye but it seems to be sold out everywhere (EU) or about 100 euros which is too much for a handle imo :p might check hori, thanks for the tip
@@missurbanjungle2356did you end up finding the right grip for your console? I am in the middle of deciding mine
@@joshyelverton5051 hey! I went for the skull & co neo grip bundle. Also got my pro controller on the side so I’m very happy with both (SC neo grip is also protective in the dock, and nice in hand)
the higher thumbsticks are mostly for better accuracy in shooters but considering this one comes with 2 high ones it's also for comfort for some people
I have an mclassic (which I think is better than the mcable because it outputs at 1440p as opposed to the mcable just going up to 1080p when using it on the switch properly) and while it doesn't make a huge difference in most games the ones that do look noticeably better make a huge impact on the experience, it is a must for me when playing Xenoblade 2, that game looks blurry as heck without it
I enjoy that you kept it simple for a people new to a switch. 3 accessories. But gotta say that donkey Kong barrel docking station does look pretty awesome
The satisfye grip is great comfort wise, but I own the original model without the little rubber bumpers and it permanently scratched the back of my limited edition within a couple weeks of use. I would’ve loved to get one for my lite but because of my prior experience I’m not willing to scratch another limited edition (Pokémon) switch.
Thats fair
Since you put a controller as accessory, my favorite is the 8bitdo arcade stick. It's awesome to play beatemups, fighting, metroidvania games.
That satisfye grip looks so nice! I really need one but that's well outta my price range atm. In the UK it's almost £100 so not much less than I paid for the switch itself!
Right! I looked to get one before seeing this video from a year ago. Price has def doubled and out of my price range for this
@Anthony Jordan found one on Amazon by a different brand that I'm hoping will do the job. Delivery is very slow on it (it's not due until mid January) so I'm assuming it's coming from China or something. It's by a company called Skull&Co and it was £17.99. If i remember, I'll reply to this comment again once I've tried it and let you know if it's worth it or not. For that price though, i wouldn't really mind if it's not the best on the market as it didn't cost the earth
@@CraftyWitch1990 Thanks for the heads up and good luck!
Thanks @@CraftyWitch1990 , I would love to hear about your thoughts on the lower cost grip after you receive it. The Satisfye is many times more than I would like to spend on a grip.
@Snow Paw came last week and it's pretty darn good for the price! Has a small section that needs to be unscrewed and removed if you have an original switch, leave it in if you have the OLED model so it fits both types. Comes with 3 extra sets of the bits that you hold in your hand (the actual grip parts i guess not sure if they have an actual name) and they're all different shapes and sizes so you can find one that fits your hand shape and size easily. For less than £20 i don't think you can go wrong with it. It's comfortable to use and holds the switch securely (i shook it to be sure)
The satisfy grip really is a must buy for your switch. I got one about year ago and I can’t play without it or my hands actually start hurting.
If you’re ok with no rumble or motion controls, I’ve liked the split pad pro more (I have both and some 3D printed experiments). The controls are just so much of an improvement that I don’t miss the goodies
All the accessories seemed good, but the flip grip is the most important switch accessory in my opinion but I also play a lot of games using a vertical screen.
In my opinion the 8BitDo Pro 2 is the better option overall. You can customize EVERY single button, stick, back paddles and even the adjust and modify the rumble. Oh yes it has rumble support which the Fusion Pro does NOT have. It has Turbo/Macro support which the Fusion Pro does NOT have. It has multiple profile support which the Fusion Pro does NOT have. It supports multiple platforms like Android, macOS, Windows and Raspberry Pi. Missing features like no rumble, no macro, limited mappable buttons (only the back paddles are mappable) and having to choice between headphone support that only function if you're plugged in or wireless controls (can't do both at the same time) on a $100 pro/elite controller is just unacceptable now a days. Especially when you can easily get all that and more for half the price. Sometimes you can even get it for less than half the price as I bought my 8bitDo Pro 2 on sale for $30. When you compare these prices, it's really not worth it no matter how good the Fusion Pro feels. They came SOOOO close the being the best Switch Pro/Elite level controller. Was so disappointed how it left me wanting more which sucks. I ended up sending it back and keeping the 8bitDo Pro 2 instead. Fingers crossed that 8bitDo make a Elite style controller next since they pretty much got nearly all features of a Elite level controller down.
I almost bought one of those 8Bitdo controllers (because seriously, who wants to pay $70 for an official controller) until I saw someone link to an adapter that they (8Bitdo) made that allows me to play the Switch with my Dualshock 4's. :) The adapters for $20 a piece but I got 2 open-box ones from Best Buy for $30.
1:29 they need to make an elite controller like xbox
Well dang, I may have to save up for that cable, it definitely makes the games look better! I did recently get myself a 4K TV and with that cable, it would really make the visuals even better.
I cant spot a single difference
0:15 have it for the phone
Haven’t seen the video yet, but guessing that I think satasfiy grip is number one.
I got hooked on the Satisfye from Wulff Den, and yeah- it's a must-have for ANYONE who even thinks about playing in handheld mode.
I love accessories even though I live in Argentina and I cannot get anything here hahaha, I also love your podcast with Erek! If you can you could make a video of 3D printed accesories for switch, that will be something I could get xD
The grip seems like it could be 3D printed, then a little DIY to add the rubber nubs so it “floats” in the grip. That could be a lil project.
The Satisfye or Powera websites ships all over the world. You can buy them there, and they'll ship to Argentina.
@@TucBroder Argentina is a special place in terms of receiving packages from abroad, unfortunately.
@@Mrbingles9 Aw, that sucks. But according to Powera, they are also located in Argentina. Or use a special delivery service there... something like that.
READ THIS COMMENT
heads up to everyone about the fusion controller. it is a hundred dollar controller with changeable faceplates, button mapping, extra joysticks, back pedals, gyro but it DOESN'T HAVE RUMBLE. pretty serious negative there that i wish you mentioned...
the satisfye grip is pretty sick tho...
Interesting you prefer the mCable over the mClassic. Most reviews back in the day when both released rated the classic and the cable as identical. As for me I tested both and in my setup they seemed to also produce the same result. So now my SNES is attached to the classic (because of the 4:3 mode) and my Switch is also attached to the cable.
I think the difference in price is just due to the fact that one is a whole cable and the other is just an adapter.
the mclassic can go up to 1440p (good for pc monitors for example)
I bought my satisfy grip, BECAUSE OF WOOD and this channel. I actually bought TWO, one for me and one for my son, and i NEVER play my Switch in portable mode unless the grip is on it. In fact, the second i take it out of the dock, the satisfy grip goes on. And without it, the switch feels like its this tiny, skinny thing that just feels horrible in my hands. And I can honestly say, thank you to wood for that. LAMO.
So wait they're hired the price so it could look 50% off cuz I've only ever paid 20
Honestly I did think it was a bit steeper than when I got it. I did pick it up on sale but it didn't seem that much 😂
Probably showing the case bundle.
Mine was $35 about a year ago lol
Ordered the Satisfye grip and case because of this video. Arrived today and I'm extremely pleased with the quality. I was previously using another company's grip, and while I enjoyed it and have nothing negative to say about it, I'm already in love with this new one! My old carrying case definitely pales in comparison to the Satisfye one. Nice thing is, all the old stuff can be hand me downs to my Niece. Thanks Wood for the video and recommendation!
I wanted to like the satisfye grip. I have no problems with grip it was comfortable and was great for certain types of games, but for me, I usually play 2d games and rpgs and the Skull and Co was just more comfortable. I do recommend the satisfye for any fps you might be playing on the switch tho
really want to get the controller, but not sure with the possibility of a new switch coming. love, love, love my satisfy grip though!! you convinced me to get one and it’s the accessory i absolutely can’t live without. i also got the traveling case with it too, which i also love
I was excited for the PowerA controller too but when I found out it doesn’t have rumble AT ALL, it was a huge turn off for me
I got the satisfy grip and case combo when I first got my switch two weeks ago. Was honestly skeptical if I'd even like it, and it turned out I love it.
I have the the m classic. It works best on a 1440p display but DEFINITELY makes the image a bit sharper and makes the colors pop much more. Adds contrast. Also: grips are life and nice Razer laptop 😉👍
Still not sure whether it's worth 120 bucks though
I got a satisfye grip because of you and i love it! I tried to play without it recently and it felt like i was trying to play with credit cards instead of controllers lol
I have a Q:
You know the "thinnest switch case" that you have that allows the switch to even fit in the dock with the case on?
Can the Satisfye Grip go ontop of that (as in while the thin switch case is still attached)?
Asking because I has a paint job on my joycons and wanting to save it from wear and tear with the case.
The grip is THE BEST!!! And the matching case is gorgoeus and really protects the switch. I love mines 🤘
Everyone in 2021: let’s make a podcast!
"the satisfy switch grip never leaves my switch... ever"
proceeds to take it off.
I love the Satisfye grip. I’ve been using it since they started coming out. They’re the ones that got me into backing interesting things. Also, I’ve seen some knock-off grips. They don’t even come close to how awesome the satisfye grips are. Quality!
By the way, did you see those thumb grips they’re making?!? They look amazing, I can’t wait to get mine in!
It’s really neat, cuz they’ve expanded into making thumb pads for all consoles! They are going to be sweet!
"$100 controller $130 hdmi....but hey..... its nice"
Your reasoning seems sound, im sold
I've used the satisfeye grip and it really is good. My only issue is the switch joycons itself. I've essentially completely swopped out the joycons for the Hori Splitpads. Those things are dumb comfortable! I'm not too bothered by rumble and the such but if you are then it won't be for you. That power A controller looks serious though!
I think you should sticky a note to inform potential buyers that the headphone jack only worked in WIRED mode. Defeats the point of having a wireless controller that is weighted so highly because it has an audio jack when the audio jack only works in the wired configuration. Also worth noting that it does not work with Amiibo at all, as well as that the motion controls do not function when the controller is used in wired mode.
I enjoy your videos and appreciate the work you put into them. I think these are very important key points that need to be mentioned and clarified better so people aren't very disappointed when they get it home and find out its not quite how they understood it would be from your description ;)
For a Splatoon player like myself where motion control is very important, it makes this controller unusable in a wired configuration and pointless to have when wireless if the purpose was to be able to use headphones with it at the same time.
Definitely planning on grabbing a satisfy grip. I am curious if they are going to come out with a satisfy grip for the new switch oled? If they do I may have to pick that one up as well.
Preorder one now!
Honestly, I will eventually get all of these. Switch accessories are like when the Wii came out, there's a ton of them and most are lacking quality. This vid helped me out a lot, because I've been wanting to get some good additions to my Switch and this just did it. Thanks Wood!
Sameeeeeee
I actually have a portable dock for my switch for friends houses and stuff. It is just a thunderbolt hub with HDMI but I use that all the time. Kinda surprised not to see anything like that on your essentials list.
The satisfye grip is something i also got myself as soon as i heard of it for my switch and always use it in handheld mode and it is soo good! The case is also nice and use it when i take the switch with me.
The switch feels wrong without the grip
When u said I needed the grip, I repeated in a hypnotized voice, “I need the griiiipppp.”
OMG this is great…. That mCable looks amazing! Wish we had a discount code on that one lol. I am trying to figure out the difference in the cable vs that hub thing they make though… Anyone know why the cable is in fact superior? Is it worth the extra money over the classic hub like connector? It’s more of a hassle for me dealing with a cable in my setup too so I don’t wanna go there unless it’s worth the effort, lol.
I'm pretty sure the mclassic is the superior product over the cable.
I've had the mclassic a short while now and it definitely makes some games significantly better looking.
th-cam.com/video/R4zk4OFGt7Y/w-d-xo.html
@@kolatrl I have the mClassic too and love it. I was also wondering why Wood said the mcable was better, and why the cable is more expensive. The video you posted (watched it earlier lol) doesn’t really answer my questions. The mClassic does in fact seem superior, so why would the mCable be more?
I think the mClassic is better, it is newer and upscales the Switch output from to 1440p! I believe it costs less because you don't have to buy the actual HDMI cable.
Also this: th-cam.com/video/O-RfJOmHMYI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks guys, yeah I confirmed with the manufacturer and they too said the Classic is actually superior as it’s the newer product and actually can go further. The cable is more because it includes the cable. Wood’s comment confused me LOL but it seems like we’re all on the same page now! I ordered the classic and can’t wait till it comes in.
The satisfying grip is so nice and way better then the bare back of the switch and makes gaming funnier
Great list! While I'm very curious about the mCable, that is $130 I could put towards a Switch Pro... one day. 🤔
Me watching this video: There's no way this Satisfye grip is as great as he's saying. The switch isn't THAT bad in handheld mode...
*Orders the Satisfye grip*
Me, the first time using the grip: Oh my god how have I ever lived without this???
Serious question, how does the Satisfye grip compare to the Yok Ergo grip? I know the Yok has built in game slots but I'm more curious about the ergonomics.
