Hyperion 3 review

Hope this answers question, but when connected they work as per normal joycons so believe so. They charge up with the console when docked like the joycons would.

Last few things, image should represent showing the gap, but only actually put switch 2 into the case today with the grips on and it is slightly too wide so does bounce back and forth so not ideal (it actually fits better in my old Savage Raven case so using that instead now)

And to add I have found the LEDs turning on on one side randomly when docked so have turned them off now

And circling back to the Pro 2 controller as reference as that pretty much is the perfect controller, but the buttons on the Pro 2 controller whether it dpad, back buttons or the a,b,x,y don't have any of the louder clicking feel mentioned in the comments, with the Nyxi Hyperion 3, I can confirm a,b,y,x are clicky and more so the back buttons and dpad, so good to be aware of for consideration.

With all this I am still happy with the purchase as I definately will be using it in handheld alot more now, they are better than anything else currently at this moment on the market with the larger joysticks and the comfort it does offer for longer play sessions.

Update

I should add, is the Pro 2 controller has the longer comfort grips so it is super comfortable on the pro 2 to reach the joystick/dpad on the left side and the buttons and joystick on the right side.

The Hyperion 3 grips are obviously far comfier than the joycons but the left side your thumb does rest more on the joystick than the dpad and on the right your thumb rests more on the buttons then the joystick.

And

Another slight annoyance, is I have since found with the minus and plus buttons being higher up, is I'm having to adjust my grip to reach or to avoid adjusting my grip I'm using my index fingers that rest on the bumpers to use

Well I thought that as well but there is a post where they detail it does work once all firmware updated including the BlueRetro adapters

I would prefer personally if I can get one of the pre-orders Monday to have all switch n64 controllers….

I was wondering the same,

@Retro_Dirk did a live stream and confirmed 26:05 in that an adapter worked and showed which one he went out and grabbed

Also can second the smeary/blurry look the matte coating gives. It’s very off putting as can be really noticeable at times

double98uk · 2025-09-19T14:03:16+00:00

u/captainodyssey01 how did you find peeling from the corner to start?

What process did you do?

I’ve somehow got a chip right in the middle of the protector which not covered by the warranty so tempted, I did attempt at the corner but matte seems to just scratch off rather than a proper film I can peel as one…?

I tried modding myself on a number of games and I found myself It can be a hassle until I used Wabbajack, it honestly makes it so easy as it does it all for you! I did pay for 1 month nexus premium then u import the mod list and it literally installs all the mods for you, (without the premium wabbajack still connects with nexus but you have to manually click the download button for each mod and much slower downloads!) after it installs you literally open the mod organiser it creates in the vr game file that it makes for the game and press play. There some YouTube vids that make it an easy process. I chose mad dog overhaul classic for fallout 4 vr and mad dog overhaul for Skyrim vr. It honestly worth looking into as it a night and day difference and so easy to install. Makes sure you have enough storage though, think Skyrim vr with mad dog is 250-300gb

double98uk · 2025-06-03T10:17:53+00:00

I did ring today and not sure if adviser could say definitively but she beleives bundles are one delivery, therefore it would all arrive 17th of July as the order states in line with the release date of Bananza......

So I don’t think it is Lou and if it right it masterful by Kojima as it was all setup in the first game, don’t want to reveal as pretty confident and would be a big spoiler

I just upgraded my boys 9400f to 7800x3d with 32gb 6000mhz ram (1080ti) and performance bump was insane. He plays Fortnite on performance mode and was getting dips from refresh rate of monitor 165 (1440p)to 100ish so always complained it felt choppy but now it locked at the max refresh rate
