The faceplate attaches via magnets, so you don't have to click it in. Also, the controller uses hall-effect thumbsticks and triggers, so you won't get the joycon drift issues that the switch joycons and pro controllers have. You only need the blutooth dongle to connect wirelessly to pc. The controller can connect to the switch by itself
Thanks for leaving your input and info on these controllers!! I really do hope these controllers don't get drift issues any time soon.
So most controllers, like the joy cons, uses potentiometers and electrical contact points to determine the stick position. This causes them to break down faster, which is why you get controller drift on them. With hall effect thumbsticks, they are contactless, so they last a lot longer and are less likely to get drift issues. The most common reason for these getting drift is if you absolutely trash the controller and get food, liquids, or other debris in them. The candy cons uses K-Silver JH16 modules which came out April 2023 and are considered to be one of the best hall-effect modules on the market.
If your pc has Bluetooth do you still need the USB? Last controller I had was same way and losing that usb sucks
@gregcruz6517 I recently tried connecting it without the USB dongle, and it seems to not be able to connect. You could connect it wired, but if you want wireless for PC, I believe you need that usb
@@Rebootgeorge Do you know or can you test if you can connect it to your PC with wire alone? (no bluetooth)
Dayum...Looks like it has premium build quality! GameStop is hitting it out of the park with these new customizable PC/Switch controllers.
Hoping that PS4/5 and Xbox One/Series versions are on the way soon.
I agree it would be cool to see new options for the other consoles!
This is chinese knockoff quality for premium price.
Stay far avway from this trash if you want a great gaming experience
@user-py7hr8ni8h it's not trash, it's loaded with premium features, and its the only option with factory customization,there are thousands of extremely satisfied customers that say this is the complete opposite of trash. The only thing that is trash is the baseless lie that you stated. It's obvious you have some ulterior motive here.
@@lidpwnsu you must be a paid shill, sry i tell the truth about a shitty product. If you are unsure about this, go with something safe like xbox or playstation 🔥👍
@user-py7hr8ni8h no you don't, where's your video. You haven't used one or even bought one so you don't know about it, your just blowing hot air. Only shills come to someone else's video to disparage what they are reviewing, instead of making their own video that objectively proves that this is a bad controller. You haven't provided concrete, or circumstantial proof that this controller sucks; this is why YOU'RE the shill, and why I'm not. I actually own a Candy Con, and can attest to how good these are with proof to back it up.
Thanks for that great review! Seems like a buy to me. Will definitely try one of these as soon as they release in europe. Do you think this is just the first product Gamestop plans to do? Seems like they are so much options they can put in to that!
Love the vibe in your reviews, man! Great video!
What a great idea! Yours looks cool
Thank you for the review. Looks 🔥
These look great, wish we could get them in the UK!
They are amazing
I'm a simple guy, if you review the Candy Con and like it, I subscribe to your channel and thumb up every piece of content you've ever uploaded.
Good review, thank you. I will buy one this weekend. Great choice of colors by the way.
Sounds great! Thanks my brother helped pick out the colors :)
Bought mine this Saturday and I am loving it. Went with a purple face plate and blue thumb sticks and d-pads combo. My wife now wants one, she is having fun picking the colors.
Thanks for the review maate hope they come to aus/nz soon!
Hoping a 3d model gets released for the face-plate, would be amazing!!
Been playing some zelda with this and i love it the programable back buttons are sweet ✌️
As long as the base kit isnt too pricey this looks like a great deal compared to 60-100 brand controllers for switch and pc(xbox/ps) and has backpaddles. Can already see special promo kits getting designed and sponsored by content creators like gfuel and advanced gg
You can't use it with Xbox or Playstation, no one uses controllers on PC, so its essentially a useless controller.
For now these controller only work for PC/switch. Personally I enjoy some games on controller and it has been good controller to use for the moment.
@@Echoes- theres a ton of people who use controllers on pc so jot that down
@@garyspoon5148 In what games? The most popular PC games are Fortnite, Counter-Strike, Minecraft, League of Legends and so on and no one is using controllers in that, thats 95% mouse and keyboard.
@@Echoes- how did you become omnipotent in order to KNOW that nobody uses controllers on PC? As an omnipotent being, who knows everyone on the planet and what they use for PC gaming, why are you wasting your time commenting on these videos when you could just solve all of humanity's problems?
I purchased mine! I was hoping you would switch a couple of the face plates since that is a main attraction 😅
Anyone know if these are compatable with mobile as well?
Yes, android compatible.
It can aslo be connected to androids. Source: my phone lol
Yooo I was wondering about that kept scanning on my phone until I realized it was set to NS. What a dunce
Man the features of this controller just keep coming, didn't know it was tri-platform compatible.
I bet it can connect to iOS too, I think most ios mobiles have settings to re-map the controls for an even better experience but android needs an external app to do so without external re-mapping on android, the A and B button are switched (unless a game has the option to remap e.i. Terrarria), other than that I love the controller so far, it's been nice while on the road as I don't have a Nintendo Switch and am not ready to bite the bullet to buy one as I've already built my game library on mobile and pc.
Love games and tried this, want my money back.
This is chinese knockoff quality, stay far avway.
You're not in the USA, so you can't even buy it in your country let alone use it. Why you gotta lie bro?
That's a lot of packaging for just one controller.
lol I know it was kinda of a mess towards the end of the video there
@@Rebootgeorge Yeah but it shows the reality of buying this controller, that's good!
100% of these comments are from superstonk trying to shill the controller to boost their stock play.
Of course it is, that's the only real explanation to it, it's only those guys. I wish I had a galaxy brain to make this connection. Seeing as this is the only logical reason for these comments, you should check out how wild the comment section is on Mustang, Hellcat, and Camaro videos on youtube: the only people enjoying or hyping those cars, in the comment section, are Ford/General Motors/Stellantis stock holders, shilling these cars, and trying to boost their stock plays............................
Cheap rebranded AliExpress garbage, can't even use them with Xbox nor Playstation.
I have not seen a similar product from AliExpress yet, but for the difference of a switch pro controller, this could be a good alternative 👍
I read that the internal components in these are legit. Not cheap bullshit. They supposedly use Hall effect joysticks which are longer lasting and less prone to drift than traditional mechanical joysticks. Definitely going to buy one and find out for myself.
That's just a blatant lie, anyone can open the controller and check it is no cheap bs. Try again.
@@al-vina Its cheap garbage, you can find them if you search for Dongguan 3e Electronic Ltd
@@Echoes- Their controller isn't for sale. It's hard to say who the manufacturer is, but even if it's them, that doesn't mean it's "cheap garbage" an Xbox one controller is much cheaper feeling.
Bought it and the quality is chinese knockoff level.
Better to buy a xbox controller, cost less and way better quality.
This account is in the comments of another review video saying "look like temu quality".. Pretty obvious when someone is full of shit.
@@konsolidated just giving my honest thoughts on a product with shitty quality.
If you like gaming buy a xbox controller for the same price insted ❤️
It has hall effect joysticks though
@@user-py7hr8ni8hcommenting with a 9 month old account, yet calling me the paid shill lol. You're basically saying you're a paid shill without explicitly stating it.
@user-py7hr8ni8h that's the thing though, it isn't honest when you don't own it, can't prove you've ever used it, and you keep making empty pleas of being honest behind a sock puppet account. Your writing style shows that English is a second language to you which means you're outside the USA; this is proof that you're a liar because this controller isn't available outside the USA yet.
You didn't show it in use...
I bought one recently and have had to return it twice already due to defects. All the reviews I find on these never mention people actually using them. They feel like trash and the one I have I still have to trade in the one I recently swapped out. the sticks don't work right and the first one didn't work right with the included dongle. I would stay away from these.
That sucks i have not have any experience like thay! You're right. I should have shown some gameplay using it. I'll make sure to keep that in mind on my next reviews.
This controller is temu quality, stay avway from this shit
Flukes happen, just like every single product on the planet. Sorry bout your bad luck, mine has been flawless and my old neighbor has been loving his. Oddly enough, not one single video on youtube has yet to be found that objectively highlights all the problems that mysteriously plague these controllers; no person would seriously get 3 bunk controllers in a row, and not post up video proof, considering the ease of access to create/publish it.
I read that someone was able to connect to PC via Bluetooth without the dongle👍🏼
Oh wow, that sounds cool. I'll have to figure out how to do that!
Its a pro controller, way better then expensive crap from Sony or Microsoft. Gamestop Candy con controllers are best value per buck and on top of it you an make them look like you want it.. Top quality components have been used in it and some parts are top shelf and invented in this year and you already have them in Candy con controllers....You can REPLACE THE BATTERY, so they are not an e-waste and you can get 2 year replacement warranty on them too. In my opinion they are the best controllers for PC/Switch on the market.
Definitely, these controllers are awesome to use!
Anyone who reads @user-py7hr8ni8h libelous claim should know that the guy has no proof to back up his false statement. If that dude was right about his false claim, they would make a video backing it up with proof.
