Since the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 in June 2025<\/strong>, Players are thoroughly enjoying the new console\u2026 but in terms of accessories, one thing was clearly missing: decent third-party Joy-Cons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago, while searching for Joy-Cons and GameCube-style controllers, we stumbled upon NYXI<\/strong>, a brand offering both wireless controllers and alternative JoyPads.
Tested and approved on Switch 1, GameCube, and also PC<\/strong>, Therefore, it is with great excitement that we welcome this great news regarding the Switch 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Hyperion 3<\/strong>, NYXI becomes the very first third-party developer<\/strong> to propose genuine Joy-Con controllers designed specifically for the Switch 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed exclusively for the Switch 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The NYXI Hyperion 3 marks an important milestone in the Switch 2 ecosystem.
These are the first third-party Joy-Cons natively compatible with the new magnetic attachment<\/strong> of the console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No adapter, no intermediate shell: they attach directly to the Switch 2, exactly like the Nintendo Joy-Con.
Of plug and play<\/strong>, without compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A controller designed for serious gaming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

NYXI clearly focuses on ergonomics.
The Hyperion 3 controllers have a much more comfortable shape than the standard Joy-Cons, with larger buttons and a grip designed for... long sessions<\/strong>, both in handheld and docked mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The connection is made by Wireless Bluetooth<\/strong>, with controlled latency and advertised stability on par with premium controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joysticks use technology Hall effect<\/strong>. Increasingly sought after by demanding gamers, it eliminates drift problems thanks to its mechanism. without mechanical contact<\/strong>.
Result: no wear, consistent precision over time and significantly greater durability than classic sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like the Nintendo Joy-Cons, the Hyperion 3 also incorporates programmable rear buttons<\/strong>, as well as software customization options to adjust controls, stick sensitivity, or dead zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of sensations, the vibrations are definitely present and properly balanced, providing immersion without going overboard.
The advertised battery life is comfortable, and fast charging via USB-C<\/strong> allows you to quickly get back into the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A real alternative, without burying Nintendo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Hyperion 2 Joypad, the Wizard controller, and the Warrior controller (also compatible with PC and GameCube) had already created a significant gap compared to the original Switch 1 accessories:
Button pressure, adjustable mechanical triggers, grip\u2026 everything was clearly superior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, Nintendo did not remain idle.
THE Joy-Con 2<\/strong> and the Pro Controller 2<\/strong> benefit from significant improvements over their predecessors. Many players will be perfectly satisfied with the original equipment, especially in docked mode, where the Pro Controller 2 stands out as a real success in terms of quality and ergonomics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for long sessions in portable mode, and on more dynamic games, the Hyperion 3 could clearly make a difference.
In the end, It's your level of expectation and your usage<\/strong> which will guide your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NYXI: a reputation that is being built seriously<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

NYXI has already built a solid reputation among Switch and retro gamers thanks to original, ergonomic and versatile products.
In general, the brand distinguishes itself by a serious manufacturing quality<\/strong>, with buttons and triggers that are very pleasant to use in-game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the additional accessories, such as the carrying cases adapted to their JoyPads<\/strong>, demonstrate a real attention to detail and protection of the equipment.
In addition to this, there are spare parts available<\/strong> (buttons, alternative sticks) and a responsive and attentive customer service<\/strong>, a point often overlooked but crucial for a third-party brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-orders open and release imminent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The NYXI Hyperion 3 are currently available in pre-order<\/strong>.
The first shipments are scheduled to begin from the March 1st<\/strong>, for estimated delivery in early March 2026 to the first buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provisional verdict<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After months of waiting since the launch of the Switch 2, the NYXI Hyperion 3 finally arrive where we no longer expected them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Native compatibility, anti-drift Hall effect sticks, true ergonomics and solid finish:
On paper, they have everything to become the benchmark for third-party Joy-Cons on Switch 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are still waiting for information regarding the Customizable RGB<\/strong> and the NFC reading of Amiibo<\/strong>\u2026
In any case, the pre-order has been placed, and we'll talk about it again very soon. controller in hand<\/strong> \ud83c\udfae\ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n\n\n\n
