Man its so satisfying to see this channel going from you sitting on the floor to this awsome setup!!
I am happy you made this video. I really wanted to see the grips designs. I can’t use either because of my small hands. They both are hard to use for me. I appreciate the detail you went into pros and cons. Have a nice week Emily! Looking forward to the next video :)
Wow, you are pumping out these videos! You must have really found your stride making these and its great to see :)
Thanks for covering the docking!! Gave me a peace of mind
YEESSS been looking forward to this for a while! :D
Excellent video and love the fire emblem and JRPG figures in the background ^^ The curated collection display is a complete stand out! The green and gold themed design is lush for sure but I agree that being able to dock quickly is almost a must have if you use the dock regularly. Great review as always Emily!
Been looking forward to this video so much!!! Really glad it finally came out ❤
I'm glad the Satisfye grip finally arrived the other day so I can make this video :)
@@orbalology I have the Skull & Co Neogrip because Satisfye isn't available/sold anywhere in my country but I've been really interested in Satisfye grips because my skull & co neogrip has shown wear 1-2 weeks right after purchase. I often take my grip off because I'm not comfortable docking my switch with the grip because it's still too tight. I have the white oled neogrip that comes with the max carry case.
The wear I'm talking about is the rubber tabs on the side where it sticks with the joycons. The tabs come off too easily so the adhesive sticks to the side of my joycons. It's pretty annoying considering how sticky and hard to remove it can get on my white joycons.
Glad to see you also use the default grip on skull and co. I love that grip makes it more like a traditional controller
Emily the GOAT 🐐
:)
Well said doomguy 🐇
I'm definitely getting one after watching this 😁. Great review ❤
Thanks for making this! I wanted to order the Satisfye grip a while back, but it’s just too expensive to ship here (New Zealand). The Skull n Co was much more affordable though so I went with that. Thanks again 😊
Thanks for presenting Switch grips with pros and cons!
Tip: remove one joy con first before removing the skullnco grip and that will eliminate any friction. Same goes for when putting it on (put it on with one joy con attached first).
How about for the Satisfye grips?
I have a Skull & Co grip and I really like it. My hands cramp up easily without a grip so it's really important to have a grip for me and I think Skull & Co does it for me. Good video! :)
Ordered my Skull and Co grip based on this review. Look forward to using it, I've been using the Hori Split Pad pro but miss the rumble support.
I used the OIVO with my previous switch, and it was quite comfortable. As I sold that system with the grip and case I had, I decided to purchase (thanks to your heads-up Tweet) the Skull & Co TotK grip for my recently acquired OLED device (the white regular model). I'm very pleased with it; the dockable option is fantastic; the customization is a plus; and the larger grips are the perfect fit for my pianist's long fingers.
One possible drawback I've realized is one of aesthetic convenience, aside from the TotK CE and white Joy-Cons, the grip doesn't match well with many other Joy-Con colors.
Thanks for your review! I’ve had the Satisfye for a while, but I think you’ve convinced me to give the Skull and Co a try. I love the satisfye when I’m traveling because I’m always handheld, but it’s a bit of a pain at home because I swap between handheld and TV a lot
If you give Skull & Co a try I would be interested to hear how it goes! I found the Satisfye grip on my lite a bit bulky to travel with, but I really should start looking into the custom cases that accommodate grips so I don't have to leave my grip at home the next time 😂
@@orbalology bulk is definitely an issue 😂 though I got one of the bundle packs with the case. The case is huge relative to a normal switch sleeve, but it’s nice that it holds the switch/grip along with my travel dock and power supply. The only things that give me pause about the skullco one is that I’ve gotten super comfortable with the satisfye asymmetric grip, and the chonky one piece construction has gotten me used to walking around with it just held in one hand
great review!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Glad this was helpful! :)
I bought the skull and co neo grips for my newly purchased OLED Switch. I’m very pleased with my purchase and I’ve been changing the grip sizes regularly but can’t seem to find a favourite size, I like them all 😊
I will have to try the skull & co. it's nice that you can still dock it with them on
As always cool stuff 😁
Thanks :)
An excellent clip to help you choose your excellent grip 😆💖👌
I just got both of these grips and I defintely prefer the skull & co. I was surprised by the button accesories and how good they feel. The docking ability and the price definetly make it the superior grip!
These videos are coming out really quick xD
I've thankfully had some time to start cranking out a few, hoping to have another one up sometime tomorrow or on Tuesday :)
I have the white buttons on my right joycon and the green d-pad on the left. I love it! It feels good and looks great
They really integrate well into the TotK design!
Nice review.
The BGM is 🔥!
As someone with big meat mitts for hands I fully endorse satisfye grips. I use them for both my switch and switch lite. Very comfortable and my hands don’t cramp up. Never tried that skull brand but it looks okay.
Thank you. Not many people would compare something so small but I personally spend hours trying to decide on this kinda stuff. 😂
Parabéns Emily, muito bonito este grip, parece ser bem confortável pra se jogar por muitas horas no modo portátil
Thanks! So far the grips have been working out great :)
Hi Emily, really love how comprehensive and in-depth you are in your reviews. Ive been waiting to hear your opinion on the skull & co since you last talked about them. Just wondering whether you’ll be picking up the nitro deck when it releases, would love to hear your opinion on that as well as I can’t decide between the two. Cheers!
The Nitro looks sick, and I really love the Hall Effect triggers. Looking forward to the reviews!
@@BespokeSlipp Yes! looks so amazing, so excited for that too! Hope it lives up to the hype
Just got my Satisfye grip. I am a bit let down, I don't find it overly comfortable and don't like that I have to take it off to dock. Might have to try Skull & Co one. Thanks for the video!
Great video. I don't use grips on my Switch, personally. I find them unnecessary. I have large yet slender hands, and I don't mind holding the Switch in handheld mode for long periods of time w/o an additional grip accessory. I remember I tried Satisfye's original Switch grip years ago, and it was fine, but the difference didn't matter to me, not to mention the inconvenience of having to remove it to dock the console. I'm sure newer models are significant improvements, but I don't feel the need to purchase any of them. That's just my take. Again, great video, you're very pleasant to watch. Can't wait to see more.
Thanks! For me my hands get super fatigued and start to cramp if I don't use them. But it's great you don't have a similar problem.
Hi Emily! I just picked up ToTK yesterday, this game's so addicting! I use Switch Pro Controller in docked mode at home, and use the NYXI Hyperion Meteor Light on the go.
Glad you got ahold of TotK! It's a lot of fun & I'm still slowly chipping away at it lol.
the goldish grip looks amazing with the Totk switch OLED!
The gold on the satifye grip really blends in with the joycons!
@@orbalology yessss i agree ☺️
glad i got the totk oled. your accessory recs are personalized lol. something like this would get me to use said oled screen more. love the thing but the joy cons are so small !
When I first got the OLED it was so weird not playing with a grip because of the small joycons! Something I couldn't get used to so I'm glad I got these grips lol.
I like the Skull & Co one on your Zelda Tears of the Kingdom handheld switch. It fits nice & Snug. I really like the design of your Zelda dock.
I think the design really complements the OLED as well. And the special dock that came with the TotK edition is really one of the most beautiful docks Nintendo has made so far.
The traditional d-pad green works so well balancing out the grid pattern!
@@BespokeSlipp True.
I kinda want the Skull & Co grip now
Hola bonita, gracias por compartir la revisión del grip.
Thanks for watching!
what monitor did u get? I’m looking on getting a new one
I have the Satisfye in black as I bought it with the case the week before the TOTK version was announced. I really like it. I have not tried the Skull & Co one but I might just to see the difference. What I like about the Satisfye is that I can put both my OG and OLED Switches on it without any modifications. I did put the Skull & Co button accessories on my Amazon wishlist; didn’t know they had those. I will eventually get the TOTK model so the grips match my Switches.
Yeah, I think the buttons are at least worth looking into! I think they really change the look of the TotK Switch for the better :)
I prefer the skull end co more. A plus point for me is you can dock it without having to remove the grip. Greatz from Belgium
The docking feature is something that really makes it stand out!
With the Satisfye, I've had the regular one for over a year now. I just got the TOTK switch and now the Satisfye grip as well. I did notice on my last oled switch that you can get a tiny smudge streak where those rubber dots are on the back. What I've been doing on the TOTK so that doesn't happen, is put the switch and 1 joycon in place, and then slide in the other joycon. As long as you are careful and hold the switch and grip securely, like putting it on a table for example, there has been no problem so far and I take my switch in and out of the grip almost daily and no notice of that smudge streak or any wear and tear from the grip. Love your videos btw.
If they're rubber, repeated contact causes friction and change of temperature, which leaves streak. If they're silicone, then there should be no streak.
Oh this is good to know, thanks for sharing!
Great video! Do you have a carrying case for the skull and co. If so, what do you recommend.
I haven't purchased their carrying case, but I've been looking into them! They seem to be the thing to get if you're buying one of their grips.
Team Skull & Co!
I love the green and white buttons together with the thumb grips, it matches the theme of the Zelda edition very well.
The fact that you can dock it with the Neo grip is a bonus.
I was really impressed with how the grip turned out, especially at that $25 price point!
Cool looking grips. I really like when grips allow for quick access to the dock. It's super annoying when every time you want to dock your console, on most of them, you need to take off the grips because they don't fit.
I'm fairly new to using a Switch dock (coming from the lite), but I can totally understand how inconvenient switching between handheld & docked can be. I've been really enjoying the skullnco grip for this reason actually.
@@orbalology It's an excellent design in that respect. The one I've got currently is the type that requires removal. Though the one I have would definitely be more protective than the skullnco version should you accidentally drop it. Even still it's not worth the tradeoff. Anyway.. welcome to docked life 😁. It really does feel much nicer than handheld mode for most games. Great video.
I got the Skull & Co grip when I bought my first OLED, and for some reason, no matter which grip I used, my hands felt numb while in a race in Mario Kart. I'm kind of reluctant trying out the Satisfye grip because of my experience with the Skull and Co. Plus, most of the time, I play on my monitor anyway, so I mostly use an SPC.
Does removing the D-pad thingy leave some sticky residue? I'm hesitant to apply it and the button covers because i strongly dislike having sticky controllers
You said you bought a new fancy monitor; what kind? And what model is it?
Is the green D Pad and overlay? If so how does it feel?
I really want the Pynkalicious Satisfye grip but it's always sold out everywhere. With the price and shipping, it's not as practical to import it where I'm from. I really wish skull & co would make a pastel pink neogrip. Maybe like a pastel line or plain baby pink and a neogrip that's mix of baby pink and baby blue.
They should also make max carry cases sold separately because they don't even include them in themed grips (splatoon, pokemon, totk neogrips)
It would be awesome to see those Skull cases sold separately. I’m also surprised Satisfye didn’t take advantage of the Zelda hype and design a themed case
That's too bad there isn't an alternative option to get ahold of the satisfye grip in your country. I felt that it was somewhat overprice here in the US even with their frequent discounts but I can't imagine how much it'll end up after importing.
Oh it'll be cool if Skull & Co offered a pastel option, especially with the new joycon variants that just came out.
@@orbalology Satisfye grips really are overpriced, imported or not. With Skull & Co, it's a serviceable grip but tou can definitely tell the build quality feels cheap 😅
@louvella-sama sayisfye used to have more reasonable pricing but in recent years price has gone up for some reason. Production costs? Inflation? Greediness, perhaps? Who knows.. sucks because I really like their grips personally.
I love my satisfye grip, but yeah not being able to dock is a downside.. thanks for showing off another option! Didn’t know that skull and co version existed!
I really enjoyed my satisfye grip on my Lite model, but I think Skull & Co has won me over!
I thought I was for sure going to purchase the Satisfye grip, but you’ve changed my mind. The price point, coupled with the seamless dock access, are huge positives for the Skull & Co.
When Satisfye entered the scene I picked up their first V1 Switch model, and fell in love with the asymmetrical handles. But it looks like this can be somewhat replicated with the interchangeable Skull grips. Definitely going to give this a try, thanks Emily!
Which monitor did you purchase?
I went for the LG UltraGear 32" Class QHD Gaming Monitor, I'll likely be showing it off soon in an upcoming video :)
@@orbalologyNice! I’m shopping around for a monitor, and will definitely check it out. Looking forward to the video
What is the song I'm hearing throughout the video? It's so familiar but I can't put my finger on it
Decent reviews overall. I'd probably get the satisfye grip if I had to choose between the two.
They both have their pros/cons, but the satisfye grip is great for exclusive handheld gaming.
I havea dockable case for my oled, would the grips function with it?
I can speak for the older style Skull & Co coming up unexpectedly. I like the one I have but if I one-hand it (to pass to someone or put down) there's a chance that the grip will pop off and I could drop my Switch. The new design looks vastly improved. Thanks for showing it off!
Oh that's an unfortunate design flaw, glad to hear they seemed to have fixed it in this new model!
Got to admit, these both look cool but I've just never gotten into using grips on my Switch. I've tried a few but I always just go back to playing without one.
I have both as well, but I find the Satisfye much more comfortable. The offset style of the grip (right side is bigger and angled slightly different) places my thumbs more naturally on the joy cons.
I really liked having access to the kickstand and the ability to dock with the skull & co, but the comfort difference is just too large for me.
My skull & co is back in the box and put away. I have medium man hands, for what it’s worth.
Yeah they’re both pretty damn awesome. I prefer the Skull & Co because its so customizable . I use the plus size grip on the right side and the trigger grip on the left which makes the Skull & Co feel like the Satisfye with the offset grips.
I think aesthetically the SkullnCo looks better but the Satisfye just seems a lot more solid of a design. Those SkullnCo grips almost looked like they were crumbling in your hand.
Funny enough I don't even use a grip on my Switch. I tend to alternate between docked and undocked play pretty frequently and normally don't game longer than a couple of hours at a time so never really had an issue with hand cramping. But great options for those that need one.
I like how Satisfye is one solid piece, but I think it does cater to a particular hand size demographic. So I like the different sizing options Skull & Co offer. They may be a bit on the cheaper side as I showed with how they get misaligned but it thankfully hasn't happened too frequently for me (and they're fairly easy to replace). But if you don't need a grip to prevent hand cramping that's great too!
I think the Satisfye grip is the most comfortable, though I have pretty big hands.
Do you stream?
How do you like the OLED Switch? Big upgrade over your Switch lite? Thanks for the awesome content!
I'm really loving it!! It's really such a big upgrade, not only with the screen but to have the dockable options too. It's really made me view switch gaming in a new light!
The Skull n Co grip scratched the back of my switch, near where the screws are placed. I had to place cardboard covering this area to prevent further damage.
Do anyone know the name of the flute music that plays at 7 minutes? I feel like I have heard it before but cant put my finger on it.
Btw, have you ever tried the Hori Split Pad Pro, Emily? It's the most comfortable solution I've ever tried! Basically a handheld Pro controller. Highly recommend it. But you u do lose rumble and motion.
I haven't, I've been tempted to test out the new TotK ones coming out in a couple months :)
I’ve owned both and found the satisfye grip to be the most comfortable.
Man, that first grip is really spicy. I love it! But that second one... I don't know. That gap is really displeasing to me, and the grip itself just looks a lot cheaper and plainer.
Yeah, I think Skull & Co wins on the design department too. They both feel good, but when looking at them side-by-side it's difficult not to make comparisons on that front.
I hope the green rubber on the Satisfye doesn’t absorb black dye from the case like my Beatemups one did.
Sadly, the Zelda skull and co grips are no longer available except for eBay for double the price. And I finally just got a TotK oled model too 😢
I just have to say, I've had the normal switch since launch and it's been an absolute champ. But looking at the OLED is making me wish I had the $$$ for the TofK model! Regardless, great video! I don't actually use grips which, in retrospect, is quite weird why I don't haha 😝
I found grips to be a total gamechanger, especially if you play on handheld a lot! I used to the worst hand cramps but grips like these really do help.
Until this video, I didn't even know grips existed... it never occurred to me to look something like that up. I play pretty much exclusively on handheld and I'm curious to see how they affect the comfort. I don't find the Switch to cause me any problems except that my hands sometimes fall asleep while playing and need a shake, which a grip wouldn't solve, but I'm interested to see if they do make playing more comfortable.
@@vorpal22 Long term ergonomic-benefits are absolutely worth it, your hands will thank you greatly. Go for it!
@@BespokeSlipp Thanks for the encouragement. I am absolutely terrible with my ergonomics. I know better but still don't follow any of the guidelines for good posture or good practices and I'm getting up there in age. The grips are affordable enough to try to see if they make a difference!
@@vorpal22 For sure, habits can be so tough to break sometimes. I feel you can’t go wrong with either grip here. Using Satisfye has allowed me to play for much longer with almost no cramping/tension. As a pianist it doubly helps also, and often I’ll play Switch to take breaks from playing while sitting at the piano. So clutch 👌
I've taken to using those Hori comfort grip joy-cons, which definitely feel nice, but aren't earning any points for style. I think I'm feeling the Skull & Co personally.
Both of those Zelda grips are really nice, but I would choose the Skull & Co grip because I could hide things in the hollowed grips (like loose game carts or a small micro fiber cloth for smudges). The Satisfye grip might as well come with a screen protector for that price because having your Switch upright when not in use... you're just asking for trouble. I personally don't use screen protectors (because I'm an adult) but I would if a brand released one with crosshairs in the middle the glass to make firing from the hip easier in shooting games.
From a different perspective, maybe Satisfye assumed most people who bought a Switch OLED already owned a standard Switch, similarly to Nintendo not including a charger with the New 3DS. The standard Switch would now live in the OLED Dock, the Standard Dock would become the travel dock, and the OLED would become the new primary handheld. The next dile-emma would be: do you allow guests to use your fragile Switch Lite, or do you give it an early retirement like the now antique 3DS? (can't be lending out bro's Switch, hahaha).
That always gets me when I switch from one system to the other, and forget which buttons
It happens every time for me lol
I’ve had both the satisfye and skull & co neogrip, and the skull & co grip won for me by a mile. The angle on the right side of the satisfye grip just didn’t work for me. I also move back and forth between docked and handheld quite a bit, so the ability to just slide my switch into the dock with the case on was a huge plus. The accessories skulI & co are great as well. I really like the joycon charging grip for when I’m traveling, so I don’t have to bring a handheld controller with me when I’m using it in docked or tabletop mode.
I'm really pleased with the NeoGrip! They've definitely won me over so far. I'll have to look into those joycon chargers you mentioned :)
What's the outro music called please?
Great review as always. Emily has strong crushing hands.
lol, apparently I do when playing certain games 😂
😂
Hahaha, playing them RPGs will give you grip strength like no other!
The thing I don't like about the Satisfye grip is the rubber nubbins on the back create vertical streaks on the back of console. It's not super noticeable, but is permanent AFAIK. I've had both the OG and Lite versions and both do it.
Also, check out the Genki Force Field for the Lite if you haven't already, I like it a lot. (not the full size version, it is poop)
I love my switch oled but in handheld it is the most uncomfortable thing to use and I can’t play it at all. I might need to get a hori split pad compact as I don’t fancy adding wear and tear to the console using on of these grips.
Personality I can only use the split pad pro. Love the design of these but ultimately holding out for the Zelda themed split pad pro when it comes out.
I haven't tried the split pad pro but tempted to try out the upcoming TotK themed one releasing in a couple of months. I know it doesn't have the HD rumble but that may or may not be a plus to some.
I bought the NeoGrip by Skull and Co. when the OLED released (for my launch OLED). I like it well enough and it serves its purpose, but there are a few things I don't like about it: 1. It feels cheap - the materials are a cheaper, more 'brittle' feeling plastic in my opinion. It just feels like if it drops and hits at just the right angle, well, you'll be buying a new one soon. 2. I don't have the biggest hands in the world, but even the largest attachments feel too small for me honestly. And 3. It drives me nuts that the right attachments are not offset. It causes more hand cramping than I can ever imagine, and this is a huge oversite in any grip in my opinion.
With all that being said, I don't have the Satisfye grip and have been thinking about getting it because of all my above gripes. However, seeing this video and a more close up view of that gap for both the OLED and standard Switches... Yeah, no, I can't do that - it will drive me crazy. So I guess I'll just keep it docked or in table top mode and use my pro controller instead. I'll continue to use it in the NeoGrip if I travel or for maybe short gaming bursts I guess.
Also, the NeoGrip may state that it is "dockable" with it on, but it is not. When you dock it, watch how it actually bends out the thinner side piece of your dock. THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. So I would stay away from keeping that thing attached and docking/undocking over and over again. Just my two sense.
And finally, I absolutely love you Orbalogy!! I would marry you in a heartbeat if I could! 💗💗💗
The gap is just to prevent the joycons/system body from contacting the plastic, keeping the Switch in top shape. But I get it! The OCD in me had to get used to it with my V1 Satisfye
I have both of these as well for my TotK Switch and I have to say the Satisfye grip feels so much better than the Skull n Co. That being said, the Satisfye grip is pretty tight and often my right joycon will decouple from the Switch while trying to install it. Also, The gold color matching isn't nearly as close as Satisfye advertised, which is a huge let down. I do love the design of the Skull n Co Neogrip but both the medium and large grips still make my hands cramp up / cause pain during long handheld sessions. I had a feeling I would end up buying both of these. I'd like to see Satisfye engineer a dockable version of their grip as it's seondary features are lacking.
The zelda tears of the kingdom grip looks amazing. I wanted to let you that pikmin 1 and 2 are getting a double pack physcial copy on switch and prince of persia the lost crown is getting a physcial copy on switch. I ordered them both.
I saw them announce their physical editions right after the Direct on Twitter. It was weird they failed to mention them during the Direct itself lol
@@orbalology O ok very 😎. I didn't know that. I did research to find out as the days went by.
What kind of bear is best?…
I just got OLED and since i previously had satisfye for my lite, i decided to give skull & co and to be honest i'm not a fan. I definitely be ordering the satisfye grip and will likely return the skull & co one. The satisfye is definitely more expensive (which is why i decided to try the skull & co this time) but imo worth the added cost.
Sorry to hear the skully & co grip didn't work out. Even though the satisfye one is a bit pricier, hope that one works well for you!
Team Satisfye. Personally I don't think there's any comparison (I never play docked), especially when you factor in the Satisfye Elite Case. But hey, if you're happy with Skull & Co, then more power to you.
I bought the Satisfye grip since I already had a purple Skull and Co grip. I prefer the feel of the Skull and Co. I was going to say when you take out the Switch from the Skull and Co you need to remove a joycon first.
I like satisfy a lot more u can just use another nintendo plug works perfect love these videos keep on keeping on also i got like a solid black case and it just doesnt screem gamer. Very low key 😃
I need to look into a case - I got the TotK themed one but that ofc won't accommodate these grips 😅
Skull and Co works perfectly for me. I tried satysfye, and I still have it, but I found it uncomfortable.
Does that Skull & Co "stick-on" d-pad actually work? Does it feel solid? I'll honestly never understand how Nintendo never released an official d-pad JoyCon.
I think it works pretty well - the 4 buttons have double sided adhesives on them and I haven't encountered any issues so far. But I haven't played a lot of games recently that have used the d-pad extensively.
@@orbalology Thanks, Emily. If you get a chance to try it out... please update! I have a hard time thinking it will be as good as a regular d-pad, but as someone who almost ALWAYS (depending on the game, of course) chooses to use the directional buttons on the left JoyCon instead of the analog stick, I'd love a relatively cheap and effective solution.
Where are you gonna put your TOTK playtrough on CZcams?
I haven't figured out the best way to capture footage yet, so I don't see let's plays happening on the channel for awhile still.
@@orbalology what's your opinion on TOTK so far?
Satisfye is the way to go for me, for sure. I like playing docked, but I also love sturdiness of handheld feeling while using grip. Skull&Co can and will damage your JoyCons, but not by itself. Small dust that gets in between plastic will do that overtime. Same happens with Smartphones when used for years in cases with tight fit. If you want your system to look like new 3 years in the future, you should consider my advice. On the other hand, you can just buy new JoyCons/Switch just aswell. I won't tell you what to do ^
i just want to say i have the grip and i dont think she specifically pointed it out but there are bumpers on it. the only place the plastic really contacts your switch is right at the bottom of the joy cons. there are bumpers on both sides of the joycons and the back. im sure that was a redesign feature because it heard it definitely scratched switches before but it doesnt seem to now. but thats my experience.
I love my "Skull e Co" grip, but, unfortunely I`m one of the persons who got problems with docking the switch with the grip attached, simply doesn`t fit ;-;
Oh no! Was it the new NeoGrip version? I wonder where the variation is from, either the grip itself or the switch models :(
@@orbalology Yeah, it is. The default white version. I use on my OLED model as well. I think is just a matter of fabrication, maybe the plastic is a little thicker than it's supposed to be, I can slide the Switch on the dock just until its middle.
I bought recently but maybe I got an older version... Who knows :(

Satisfye all the way for me.
Im very, very angry that skull & co aren't selling the TOTK grip anymore 😤
I just saw it a couple of minutes ago.
I got the skull n co one. Definitely a bit too snug of a fit on the dock for me.
Oh that's too bad to hear! I wonder if there's some quality control variation or it depends on the switch type.
I'd love the skull & co but some stupid scalpers want $100 on eBay for one and that's ridiculous
i had the satisfye. i tried the skull and co and never went back. it wins on flexibility. satisfye is too tight and risks damaging joycons
