What is the device you wanted, but that does not exist? - Lemmy

I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop

A direct clone of the Switch JoyCon that works seamlessly on PC and PS5.

A version of the ASUS ROG Flow that is about 20% lighter and has about 50% better battery life when not in dGPU mode.

A version of the MiSTer and/or Analogue Pocket with RetroAchievements support.

Yeah, I'm a weird gamer.

I can't imagine wanting joycons over an xbox controller for my console/controller gaming but I guess someone was bound to love the joycons lol

Well, your wrists don't try to murder you if you keep them bent at an angle for too long, I suppose. Human hands are different, and mine really like having two separate controllers instead of holding just one thing.

But also, the JoyCons are pretty awesome, I find the separate button d-pad very reliable and I don't have a problem with the size at all, so even if they weren't healthier for me I'd love to have a set that works natively on PC.

Hey man no judgment haha
You should try getting into VR gaming!

I have multiple HMDs and controllers. The original Vive controllers are maybe the least ergonomic thing I own, and the current standard does not feature a full array of face buttons.

Plus, obviously, they don't work on flatscreen games. So yeah, no, the JoyCon is still the best controller out there right now, VR knuckles included.

You can use the Joycons with a PS5 and PC using
Wait, how does that work? 8bitDo's dongles are very confusing in terms of which one goes with what, but none of the ones I have, either standalone or bundled with a controller, seem to have a mode on PC to pair two joycon to a single controller.

Apparently you can’t with the 8bitdo adapter (sorry made last post while half asleep) meant to link the mayflash NS2 which actually can pair both joycons

will link that hereand change previous link in case someone comes across it later

Hm. I have the NS1 and that did an OK job using my fight sticks on Switch, but I don't think it did dual JoyCon on PC. The store page doesn't mention that explicitly either.

I may give it a look, but if you have video evidence, a review, a tutorial or something I'd appreciate that.

Looks like this shows it working with both joycons on a miniature laptop on the ns1 m.youtube.com/watch?v=aJU606gw-NM&pp=ygUVbWFn…

Well, I'd say I'm bummed out that I didn't figure out this was an option before, but I'm pretty sure those are the instructions to reach the Holy Grial as well, so maybe it's reasonable.

I'll give it a try if I can remember where I stashed that thing.
