Got the #Mobapad M12 HD Joycons for my Switch 2

Quick Review time!
Ergonomics, buttons and sticks are all great. Feels very good, very happy.

Power modes and pairing is weird. The switch connects in some weird USB mode and believes they’re in a detached format, this doesn’t actually impact usage that and is simply weird.

The controller indicator lights are on and do bleed between the Joycons and Switch when connected which was gonna be a deal breaker, but fixed that with a touch of electrical tape.

All in all, I understand the limitations on these unlicensed products and if 2cm of tape fixes my biggest issue. I’m happy

@archer #Mobapad will release a firmware update for the #M12HD in the next two weeks where they‘ll be addressing the wake-up function and the status light bleeding.
