I can’t honestly give this device a 4 star rating, it’s more like a 3.5. All the complaints people had, seem to be fixed. I didn’t have to download a firmware update. I was really worried about this device after seeing all the negative YouTube reviews. I have an Asus Rog Ally. Lenovo Legion Go, Logitech G Cloud. and of course my switch. Needless to say I have my share of handhelds. At first I was expecting a heavier device, nope it’s the lightest of tge 4 I own. Feels no where near the heft of any of my other gaming handhelds. Bottom right button too bright? Right out of the box there were instructions to lower the brightness by tapping the program button. The rumble feels just right and it doesn’t make the noise people were complaining about. Triggers didn’t seem as light as people claimed. I’m not accidentally hitting them and they take a little effort to activate. I didn’t notice any deadzones. So basically everything people were complaining about is fixed and no firmware update was needed. I do have some gripes, people were comparing this device to the steamdeck, it’s no where near the same size. It’s actually pretty small. It’s the smallest handheld device I own. The ergonomics are no where near as comfortable for bigger hands like on devices such as the Asus Rog Ally and G cloud. I really wish they would have made this deck wider and a tad bit longer so that the palms of my hands could rest on the controller, instead of hanging off of it. I do have abnormally long fingers and hands. My hands are almost as big as some people’s feet. So this is more personal preference and everyone’s mileage may very. Now the big topic the right analog stick sucks, yes it is playable, however not for long periods without doing some awkward clawgrip. To be fair.. I have about 200 switch games and only 4 were first person shooters. I mean who would buy this tiny device with low frame rates, small screen, and natively horrible sticks to play a FPS? I love first person shooters, but I’m not playing them on my switch I’m on one of my 2 hand held pcs, my PS5, my home pc, or my Cloud streaming G cloud. If you have multiple devices chances are you’re on the switch for one reason only Nintendo’s Exclusives, and let’s face it there really aren’t any decent ones on the switch. Maybe I’m missing something but as of late excluding N64 games like Golden Eye, and Torok, there’s only Metroid Prime. I really can’t think of any Nintendo FPS exclusives. Yes I can’t enjoy Boarderlands 2 on my switch, Metroid Prime, and 2 other games that elude my memory with this controller. It still works for the other 196+ games I own. Just for the record Boarderlands 2 looks like garbage on the tiny 6.something inch Switch screen at 30 FPS and 600p resolution. I’m getting over 100 fps on my Legion Go on an 8.8 inch 2k resolution, and I don’t need a online membership like with Nintendo to play it. I have 2 other dock able attachments and a grip extender, all 3 are wider which works better for my hands. The grip extender feels great in my hands but leaves me stuck with the switches horrible drifting sticks, crappy D pad, and tiny buttons. My other 2 controller docks just feel cheap in comparison to the nitrodeck. People complained about the D pad I actually like it, it’s my personal preference. The hall effect sticks and triggers feel nice and precise. I like the resistance on the sticks, similar to the PS5’s duel sense, not loose and wobbly like the Xbox controller and clones. I don’t think there is a perfect device that fixes all of the switches shortcomings, but the Nitrodeck solves most and just falls short for big hands and on the FPS games people hardly are ever going to play.
