The Mobapad M12 HD could be the best Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con replacement currently available. In this full review, I test the Mobapad M12 HD and compare it to the official Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons, the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, and the NYXI Hyperion 3 to see if this is finally the third-party controller Switch 2 owners should buy.
The Mobapad M12 series offers a ton of premium features including TMR Glide sticks, HD Rumble, programmable back buttons, Turbo functionality, wireless support, gyro controls, mechanical microswitch buttons, interchangeable D-pads, RGB lighting, NFC / amiibo support, and much better ergonomics compared to the standard Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons.
But despite all those features, there are still some compromises. In this review I go over everything you need to know before buying the Mobapad M12 HD or Mobapad M12 S for Nintendo Switch 2.
