What a difference the M12S make to handheld play!

Being someone who only plays Switch 2 in Handheld Mode, I always thought the stock cons were perfectly acceptable, nothing truly offensive.

Then I started looking around at options, and was between these and the Nyxi's

I thought the Mobapads just looked 'right' on the Switch 2, all streamlined, no bits jutting out or above the screen, and the white looked so clean, so I pulled the trigger.

These have made a truly night and day difference when actually playing. So, so comfortable for extended sessions, I am now playing until I get to the stage of a low battery warning, without even thinking about comfort or hand cramping.

The TMR glide sticks are wonderful, and so responsive. And I absolutely love the micro switches on all the buttons 😍 I know some don't like the noise level of them, but I just find the clckiness so satisfying, brilliant.

I haven't missed Mouse mode or HD rumble 2 personally, and although the stock rumble is not the best on these, at least you have the option to turn it off entirely if you choose to.

It is a shame that the Mobapad M12 Pro has now been announced, as I more than likely would have waited for those if I had known they were on the way, but even so, if you are looking for Joy-Con alternatives to improve your handheld experience, and are on a tighter budget, I would fully recommend the M12S.

Yes, there are a few concessions made, but for the price, the actual hands on gaming experience with these for a Switch 2 user is nothing short of sensational

Well played Mobapad 👏🏼👌🏼

these are leagues better,l all around, the ergonimocs make me actually enjoy playing the Switch 2 portable

The controllers feel good in hand.

Only difficult thing is to get them working when the switch is docked and you want to use the charging grip als remote controller.
They always disconnect when installing.

Once they're working, it's good.

I like the medium long sticks, the buttons and the accessibility, the hd 1 rumble is also ok. But please work on the connectivity. Native recognition as Switch 2 controller, with chat and wakeup button and HD2 Rumble, then you are perfect

the m12s is a great upgrade for the switch 2. i can now play games way better.

I love this caring case. Nice and thin

Quality and the feeling. I'm highly recommended.

The delivery time was very good and the item recieved is very high quality and comfortable in my hands. I am satisfied with the purchase.

Built quality is superb and I have completed my set!
Waiting for more exclusive sets from Mobapad for my switch 2

It came in a nice package and aside from looking great when charging, I can wake my Switch 2. It feels precise and sturdy. It was a great decision to buy it.

Feature and price wise this controller is hands down my favorite. I sold my switch 2 pro controller after trying this. I now have 3 of them. I use them for my switch 2 and for PC gaming. The glide tmr sticks are amazing and the clicky buttons on the Chitu 2 HD and the silent cushy buttons on the silent version are fantastic. Love the wake feature and they just look and feel great. Recommend to everyone who asks me about them. Love this product. More colorways would be amazing.

With minor initial issues promptly solved by Mobapad customer support and through quick firmware updates, the M12HD ended up, as expected, being my go-to when looking for the best ergonomics, build quality, precise sticks, and buttons. As with the M6HD, the mechanical switches are a delight to use. The sticks are unbeatable, on par with Chitu 2 and, for me, even better than those in the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller (which are great).

Combined with the charging grip, I found myself using them as a gamepad even more than my Chitu 2.

If you are looking for the best joycons for your Switch 2, don't hesitate. They are my favourite Switch 2 accessory so far.

First, I've been a diehard Mobapad fan since the release of the M6 HD, which I think are absolutely perfect. I saw the video from Rerez on YouTube and the second I realized all the buttons, and especially the Dpad, use microswitches, I instantly ordered and never used another pair of joycon since.

On to the M12 HD. They are pretty great, but I really think it was a mistake to not make a model that has the best from the M12 HD and the M12 S model.
The HD do not charge in sleep mode, and though there is a work around, and they're adding the charging grip, it is still disappointing.
They also only have 6 axis gyro, instead of 9 axis like first party joycon or even the M12 S model. It's still pretty good, but obviously not as accurate as 9 axis gyro.
These are my only major gripes.

Having said that, I still really like what they got right. The excellent microswitches are back (seriously, I play a lot of shmups and a ton of Virtua Figther--the Dpad is fantastic) and feel great.
The new TMR glide sticks are a great new edition, and feel great.
I don't usually care about rumble when playing in portable mode, but the HD rumble is so much better than standard rumble that the S model and their major competitor uses in their joycons.

Overall i'm very happy with whats great, but disappointed with the couple of negatives. I hope Mobapad releases a newer, more complete model that addresses the issues in the future. Until then i will happily use the M12 HD for 99% of my Switch2 portable playtime (they obviously don't have mouse function, so I'll have to use the first party joycons for those few games)..
They're not perfect like the M6 HD, but still great. I'm happy with my purchase.

I'll will always suggest the m12 for who want more confortable pad.

Overall, I'm satisfied. The vibration is decent, though not quite as good as on the Joy-Cons, and they work well in wireless mode. The analog sticks have a wide range of motion, which is a big plus. The comfort of use is in a league of its own compared to the original Joy-Cons—it’s just great. On the downside—I had to update the Mobapad firmware via my phone for them to start working properly; waking them up with the home button works but with a slight delay, which is tolerable. And it’s worth noting that you need to enable USB Pro Controller support on the console; unfortunately, the Mobapads work this way, so they won’t function like traditional Joy-Cons. The console will always recognize them as externally connected controllers rather than standard Joy-Cons. Is this a big problem? No, it doesn’t really affect anything.
