NYXI Hyperion 3 Review – Is this the best Joy-Con alternative for Nintendo Switch 2, or is it just overpriced?
In this video, I test the NYXI Hyperion 3 Wireless Joy-Con for Nintendo Switch 2 to see if they actually improve the handheld gaming experience. The Switch 2 is powerful, but the original Joy-Con still struggle with comfort, small buttons, short thumbsticks, and no proper D-pad.
The NYXI Hyperion 3 promises a premium upgrade with a more ergonomic design, Hall effect thumbsticks (no drift), micro switch buttons, RGB lighting, gyro controls, and extra programmable back buttons. But with a high price tag, do they really deliver?
00:00 - Intro
00:36 - Design and build quality
02:11 - Features
03:35 - Missing Features
04:06 - Are they worth it?
04:54 - What do you think?
I cover everything you need to know:
• Comfort and ergonomic design vs original Joy-Con
• Build quality and magnetic grip controller
• Hall effect sticks and improved precision
• Micro switch buttons (and why they might not be for everyone)
• RGB lighting and customization
• Gyro performance and wireless features
• Missing features like HD Rumble, amiibo (NFC), and mouse mode
• And whether they’re actually worth the money
While the Hyperion 3 is a big upgrade in comfort for handheld gaming on Nintendo Switch 2, there are some serious compromises—especially considering the price.
So… should you buy the NYXI Hyperion 3, or stick with the original Joy-Con or Pro Controller?
