00:00Hey, what's going on, human nation?
00:02You know this is me.
00:03I'm JohnGamer64.
00:04The legend.
00:05The one and only.
00:06And yours truly.
00:08And I welcome you to a new unboxing slash first impressions video.
00:14So this purchase comes from AliExpress.
00:18And today we'll be taking a look at the NS, so Nintendo Switch gaming controller, from Saitake.
00:28I thought I paid about 10 bucks for this one.
00:31But it looked really cool.
00:33I liked the shape of it.
00:35It's like ergonomic, so.
00:38Thought I'd give it a shot, and 10 bucks isn't really that bad.
00:41Just like that one arcade stick that I bought for 10.
00:44And turned out to be decent.
00:46Cause I was actually surprised about that one.
00:49Guess we're gonna see if this one's any good.
00:52Alright.
00:53So let's take a look at the box itself here.
00:57So I like the color scheme already.
00:59It's like a throwback to the Super Nintendo days, man.
01:02The old school purple and gray.
01:05This is so freaking cool.
01:08So yep, it has dual vibration, motion sensor function, and turbo function.
01:14Also the RGB LED lights.
01:17So I think that's like where the sticks are, where the lights will come up.
01:22It has dual vibration, and gyroscope sensor.
01:25Great.
01:26And that's top of the box.
01:29I like the design.
01:31It has the controller, like, all over the place.
01:35Pretty cool.
01:36Okay.
01:37Nice orange color.
01:41More info about the device itself.
01:46Play it for all versions of the OG Switch.
01:50Don't know if it's compatible with the Switch 2, so okay.
01:55Okay.
01:56Alright.
01:57Access sensor.
01:58Turbo features.
01:59Which I never use in any third-party control.
02:03I never actually use a turbo controller.
02:06And then it supports vibration frequency adjustments.
02:10And then it supports PCX inputs.
02:12They can all use in the Steam or on our Android devices.
02:16So cell phones.
02:18Media boxes.
02:20And then it supports Apple.
02:23iOS 13 plus.
02:25So yeah.
02:27Yeah.
02:28Very cool.
02:29Alright.
02:30Let's go ahead and unbox it, baby.
02:34Let's see Zors.
02:37No.
02:38Let's do it.
02:39Let's do it.
02:40Let's do it.
02:41Let's do it.
02:42Let's do it.
02:43Let's do it.
02:44Let's do it.
02:45Let's do it.
02:46Let's do it.
02:47Doesn't matter if I damage the box.
02:50Cause I didn't buy it from the box.
02:53Oh.
02:54There we go.
02:55Okay.
02:56Fantastic.
02:57Fun test.
02:58Peek.
02:59Alright.
03:00Very nice.
03:01Hey.
03:02They duke me on that, man.
03:03No purple and.
03:04Okay.
03:05I mean it is what it is.
03:07We have to turn it off.
03:08Not too much.
03:09It would be nice.
03:11Maybe any color you want and it would be.
03:14Maybe.
03:15Maybe.
03:16Maybe.
03:17Maybe.
03:18Maybe.
03:19Maybe.
03:20Maybe.
03:21Maybe.
03:22Maybe.
03:23Maybe.
03:24Maybe.
03:25Maybe.
03:26Maybe.
03:27Maybe.
03:28Maybe.
03:29Okay, now we've got the USB cord, turn it off, this is off the USB cord, with the triggers.
03:45Alright, we've got to charge it up, hopefully that doesn't take long.
04:09But yeah, if you like the way it feels, get out a little bit away, not too light, a little bit.
04:17Click the button, open the pad.
04:21Ooh, like the way the grips feel.
04:27Okay, now that's where you charge it, very nice.
04:31Okay, so we can go ahead and charge, and we shall be back.
04:37Alright, so I guess while we're waiting for the controller to charge, we might take a look at how to prepare it.
04:45Just to save us a little bit of time, you know.
04:51Alright, so let's take a look at your Nintendo controller switch mode.
05:01Great.
05:03So it says, power on your Nintendo Switch console.
05:07Go to controller options, change grip.
05:09Step 3, long press the S buttons to turn on the gamepad, till the LED rounds.
05:15Button light, blue color, twinkly fast.
05:19Twinkly fast! Okay.
05:23To wait for pairing can connect.
05:27After 3-5 seconds, the controller will automatically connect to the console.
05:31Yes, I better connect.
05:35Motion control.
05:39Operation.
05:41Okay, very nice.
05:43Well, pretty nice that they have it in English, too.
05:47Otherwise, it'd be a little hard to figure out some of the Chinese, you know.
05:55Also, it's turbo functionality, which I care about.
06:01And it's how to toggle the vibration intensity.
06:09That's very cool.
06:13Sleeping mode, I think.
06:17You can control the sleep mode, or just the lighting.
06:23Okay, so there's the lighting options here.
06:27You can switch the light color or style by pressing the RGB color in a cycle.
06:37Okay, pretty nice.
06:41Let's see.
06:43Let's see.
06:45Update.
06:47If there's a problem, there's a connection while it comes to an update.
06:51You can offer an update method as follows.
06:53You can download the Key Linker app from Google Play Store.
06:57You can install it on the .com.
06:59Follow this.
07:01And...
07:03Okay.
07:05And the rest is in French, which I don't know.
07:11But it's all the same shit.
07:13Okay.
07:15Yeah, that was very comprehensive.
07:19But that one line about the twinkly lights.
07:23Oh man, that was too funny.
07:25I could just say flashing, but...
07:27You know what? I'm not gonna hold it against them.
07:29But it gave me a chuckle.
07:31I was like, oh, twinkly lights.
07:33Alrighty.
07:35So let's go ahead and sync up this bad boy.
07:39Hold on.
07:41Hold on.
07:43Okay, there we go.
07:45Ooh.
07:47Aw, that's beautiful.
07:49One, two, three, four.
07:53Okay, there we go.
07:55Ooh.
07:57Aw, that's beautiful.
07:59One, two, three.
08:01Five, two, three.
08:03Five, two, three.
08:05One, two, three.
08:11There we go.
08:13Easy peasy, win the squeezy.
08:15Look at those beautiful lights.
08:17From the controller stick mound, as I call it.
08:21I'll show you a better look.
08:23Ooh, freaky.
08:25Freaky.
08:26Freaky.
08:27Ooh, there's even lights up under the triggers, too.
08:29That's sick.
08:31Okay, okay.
08:33Alright, and before we go ahead and actually test out the controller on some games, I wanted to show you the awesome LEDs here.
08:37So, as you can see, the default is the rainbow color.
08:39Pretty cool.
08:41Blue, purple, green, red.
08:43Great thing in between.
08:45Pretty cool.
08:47So, press the button.
08:49Changes the pattern.
08:51We better zoom here.
08:53Yeah, check that out.
08:55It's so freaky cool.
08:57It's so freaky cool.
08:59It's so freaky cool.
09:01It's so freaky cool.
09:03It's a rainbow color.
09:05Pretty cool.
09:07Blue, purple, green, red.
09:09Great thing in between.
09:11Pretty cool.
09:13So, press the button.
09:15Changing the pattern.
09:17Yeah, check that out.
09:19It's so freaky neat.
09:21Boom.
09:23Different little settings here.
09:27Flashing.
09:29That's so cool.
09:31And we got single color.
09:35So, we got the red.
09:37Blue.
09:39Pink.
09:41Red.
09:43Green.
09:45Good evening.
09:47And back to...
09:49Freeable.
09:51Yeah, that's really cool.
09:59I mean, that was kind of one of the main reasons why I bought this.
10:01I'm like, for 10 bucks, I mean, it's a gamble.
10:03I'm not expecting a lot, but...
10:05Yeah, man, I gotta save these, uh...
10:07LEDs are pretty dope.
10:09Always been a sucker for LEDs, yeah.
10:11I don't know why.
10:13Okay.
10:15Haha.
10:17Alright.
10:19And let's say we test this fat boy out.
10:21Want some Tony Hawk Super Skater?
10:23Three and four.
10:25Excuse me.
10:27Green.
10:29Yeah, boy.
10:31In all Canada.
10:37Whee!
10:39Yeah, boy.
10:41I'm gonna press a skater.
10:43I'm popular.
10:45Whee!
10:47Alright.
10:49Freaking ass and taking...
10:51Not names right now.
10:53There's a bayou.
10:55Oh, Canada.
10:57The trailer park boys are fine.
10:59No, I'm just kidding.
11:01Freaking love.
11:03Trailer park boys.
11:05You know what's funny?
11:07Because for the longest time, uh...
11:09When they were on Netflix, I didn't really think nothing of it.
11:11I'm just like, ugh.
11:13I didn't know they were Canadian.
11:15I'm like, oh, what is this?
11:17Just like...
11:18Regular white trash, trailer trash rednecks in America?
11:21Like, yeah, that doesn't do it for me, man.
11:23But I gave it a chance, I was like, oh, they're Canadian!
11:25Like, criminal trailer trash.
11:27But they're actually like, funny as hell.
11:29Alright.
11:31Say the buttons are very responsive.
11:33Especially the face buttons here.
11:35They're not clicky at all.
11:37A little bit clicky.
11:39Tiny clicky.
11:41What the hell?
11:43I think that is nice.
11:45Oh, that move.
11:47I got it.
11:49Ah.
11:51That move.
11:53I got it.
11:55Ah.
11:57That move.
11:59That move.
12:01I got it.
12:03Yeah.
12:05Everything seems to be working very well here.
12:15Wee.
12:17Good boy.
12:19All you.
12:21Wee.
12:23Wee.
12:25Wee.
12:27Wee.
12:29Wee.
12:31All right.
12:33Very responsive.
12:35Look at the pro score at the very end.
12:37That is sweet.
12:39Okay.
12:40Okay.
12:41I'll take it.
12:43I'll take it.
12:45This was just a test drive.
12:47I wasn't really trying to go for any particular goals.
12:49Okay, there you go.
12:51But yeah, it works very well for Tony Todd.
12:53Like, the face buttons aren't very clicky, which is good.
12:57It's just a sign of a well-built controller.
13:01Because some clicky buttons, you know, it's always like crap shoot.
13:0750-50.
13:08But yeah, these face buttons are really good so far.
13:11And the sticks feel so good.
13:13The triggers are nice too.
13:15Like...
13:17Yeah, they sound clicky, but they're actually very responsive.
13:21So don't let that fool you.
13:23But yeah, face buttons are great.
13:25Sticks are great.
13:27And the triggers are great too.
13:31Just...
13:32They sound clicky.
13:33Just don't let it, like, you know, fool you.
13:35So...
13:36I mean, for 10 bucks, that's really not that bad.
13:38So...
13:39All right, I guess we can try out a couple more games and then, uh...
13:42Call it a day.
13:44All right.
13:45And we'll test it out with some Metroid Prime Remastered here.
13:57It's funny.
13:58Usually with, like, these controller, uh, reviews...
14:01I always do Quake Remastered 1 and 2.
14:051 or 2.
14:06But I'm like, yeah, but let's test it out with Metroid Prime.
14:10You know, just change it up.
14:12Okay.
14:13There we go.
14:14So nice.
14:15All right.
14:16Feels...
14:17Definitely feels better.
14:18There we go.
14:19Let's find some enemies to shoot.
14:22Who wonder what time.
14:23Oh, look at that beautiful sea life.
14:24Oh, look at that beautiful sea life.
14:29I mean, I really admire this freakin' pre-master here.
14:30So freakin' good.
14:31I mean, I really admire this freakin' pre-master here.
14:32So freakin' good.
14:33So freakin' good.
14:34So freakin' good.
14:35I really admire this freakin' pre-master here.
14:41Oh, okay.
14:42Let's shoot some mushrooms.
14:43Yeah.
14:44Do it, man.
14:45Oh, okay.
14:46Let's shoot some mushrooms.
14:48Yeah.
14:49Do it, man.
14:50See, trying to remember how to, uh, inhale my gun.
14:57Ooh.
14:58Stupid poisonous mushrooms.
14:59Oh, here.
15:00Oh, here.
15:01Oh, here.
15:02Oh, you're so freakin' good.
15:03Oh, okay.
15:04Let's shoot some mushrooms.
15:05Yeah.
15:06Do it, man.
15:07See, trying to remember how to, uh, inhale my gun.
15:12Ooh.
15:13Stupid poisonous mushrooms.
15:14Out of here.
15:15Ah!
15:16You heard that little rumble there.
15:17That's nice.
15:18Nice.
15:19Oh, you know, you know what's cool, I think, like, Turok actually has that, uh,
15:28gyroscope, like, control mechanic.
15:45Would've been nice to play that game and then test it, but oh well.
15:52Okay, does this game have it, I wonder.
15:54We'll open it up all this.
15:59No, there are options, there are options.
16:03Trolls.
16:06Swap beam, swap round, jump, jump, jump, jump.
16:14Oh yeah, that's something I wanted to do.
16:22I forgot, like, charging beams, that's what sucks up all the power.
16:43It's been so long since I played the first Metroid.
16:47But anyways, uh, yeah, very responsive.
16:54Works well with first person shooters it seems, so, yeah.
16:58Guess we can do a couple more, wait, hold on, was there an enemy somewhere?
17:02I didn't even pay attention.
17:06God damn, this is such a beautiful game.
17:09Okay, anyways, move on to the next game.
17:31Alright, might as well try some old school arcade games.
17:34We can do a fighting game here.
17:49Oh, haha, okay, just jumped into the game here.
17:52Okay, yeah.
17:54That was bullcrap.
17:55Okay, restart.
17:57This one.
17:59Put me in the middle of a battle, I'm losing.
18:01There we go.
18:11God, it's such an underrated game.
18:16I think out of, like, all the fighters or games under SNK's, like, repertoire, definitely one that needs to be, like, remade or needs a sequel.
18:25Hell, dude, even Garu, Mark of the Wolves got a sequel.
18:32Deathmatch?
18:33We're going to be here.
18:34Deathmatch.
18:41Hm, jmix.
18:43We're right at it.
18:48Woo!
18:49Come on.
18:50Come on.
18:53Alright, alright, we're going to play that.
18:54Alright.
18:57Face the Spirit Ships here.
19:00Spirit Shark, in your mood.
19:04Yes.
19:05So freaking cool.
19:06Let's see, what was that one flip kick guy?
19:13Oh, that wasn't a good one.
19:21Oop.
19:22Oop.
19:25I mean, it seems to work well while you know the moves, but, heh heh.
19:28All you know are a couple with C-Kid here.
19:29What's the Deathmatch here?
19:30It's like they showed the fire in the background, and I'm like, can I throw my opponent in the fire?
19:40I don't know.
19:42Just for show, guys.
19:43Just for show, guys.
19:54Ah, crap!
19:55Ah, I get my ass wet.
19:57Yay!
20:04Well, definitely works well with the first circle inputs.
20:07But that's to be expected with like, you know, really good joysticks here.
20:12And that is most certainly the case with this controller.
20:17But again, I don't know all the moves with the C-Kid here, so...
20:22Give it!
20:27Alright, whatever, stupid football player.
20:30Alright, let's get into the next game.
20:33But yeah, it definitely works with it.
20:34So, yeah.
20:37Classic.
20:38You can't even use Puzzle Puzzle.
20:45Alright, so this one you can either use the stick or the directional tab, so...
20:49Perfect game to test out capabilities as well.
20:53Directional.
21:02Yep.
21:04So, I definitely like the rounded edges of the directional pad here.
21:11Because I know, like, sometimes they'll have, like, really sharp edges.
21:14Oh.
21:15Gotta keep playing and talking, huh?
21:18There we go.
21:22Yeah, boy.
21:23How you do it.
21:26You.
21:27Like I was saying, like, you know, most standard third-party pads will have, like, these really sharp edges on the...
21:33...directional pad.
21:37Like, sometimes it works, but, you know, other times it's just like, meh.
21:40Like, not really quite comfortable either.
21:45But man, like, very comfortable to use, very responsive.
21:50That's good.
21:52And then, of course, where, you know, the sticks are amazing.
21:54And they light up.
21:55Yeah.
21:56All right.
21:57Like I say, uh, the bubble bobble definitely passes the directional...
22:12...the directional pad or stick test.
22:18So, yeah.
22:20Thumbs up here.
22:22Very good for retro, probably.
22:30All right.
22:31And, you know, we gotta try some Mario Kart 8 up on this piece.
22:35Make sure this controller is standard for racing games.
22:41Oh, yeah.
22:42One of my favorite DLC levels here.
22:47Woo!
22:48Oh, yeah.
22:49Got the head boost.
22:50The turbo boost.
22:51Excuse me.
22:52Love it.
22:55Whee!
22:58Aw, come on.
23:00What?
23:01How was I doing there?
23:06Woo!
23:07Stuntin'.
23:09Stuntin' Stuntin'.
23:12Ah!
23:13Dude.
23:14Now they're all of me.
23:15It actually controls very well.
23:18Cause I'm talking and, you know.
23:20There we go.
23:22Ooh!
23:23Let's get to the roof.
23:26Where is he in?
23:27Right.
23:30Ugh!
23:31Playing all the movies, son.
23:36Alright.
23:37Stuntin' like nothing.
23:38Pretty good.
23:39Turbo boost.
23:42Turbo boost going.
23:44Oh, and you can feel the rumble in this game for sure.
23:50But I don't know if this is the highest setting of the rumble feature.
23:55But it feels decent.
23:57Not too, uh, overbearing.
23:58Um, I think there's a way that you can, uh, change the level of, uh, rumble.
24:06Whoa!
24:08Stupid ink.
24:12Ah, crap.
24:14I'm getting boned.
24:15Well.
24:16Only third.
24:17No.
24:18I'm first place.
24:19I'm good.
24:20Deal.
24:21That's how we roll with them.
24:28But yep, seem to be, uh, drifting pretty effortlessly.
24:33That's good.
24:35As well as pulling my little jump boost.
24:38No problem.
24:42Alright.
24:43Works very well for Mario Kart.
24:45Very nice.
24:46Okay, anyways.
24:47Uh, yeah.
24:48This one definitely gives a thumbs up here.
24:49So Mario Kart approved.
24:50But, yeah.
24:51So it's good for skating, uh, extreme sport skating games like Tony Hawk.
24:55Good for arcade classics.
24:56Oh, yeah.
24:57Oh, yeah.
24:58Oh, yeah.
24:59Oh, yeah.
25:00Oh, yeah.
25:01Oh, yeah.
25:02Oh, yeah.
25:03Oh, yeah.
25:04Oh, yeah.
25:05Oh, yeah.
25:06Oh, yeah.
25:07Oh, yeah.
25:08Oh, yeah.
25:09Oh, yeah.
25:10Oh, yeah.
25:11Oh, yeah.
25:12Oh, yeah.
25:13Oh, yeah.
25:14Good for racing games like Mario Kart whatnot.
25:19But, yeah.
25:21This is a pretty solid controller, I'm not going to lie.
25:23Like.
25:24Face buttons are great.
25:26Not too clicky.
25:27Well, very little clicking.
25:29You can hear it, but.
25:34You know.
25:35But, man.
25:36That feels so smooth when you press them.
25:38The top button.
25:40And the face buttons are nice and smooth.
25:43very responsive. Sticks are amazing, especially the little grips on the end of it. Oh my god.
25:50And a very comfortable, very comfortable and durable directional pack. Like, you don't
26:00worry about the freaking edges of those cheap third-party ones. But yeah, I guess for this
26:05third-party one, it's an exception. Like, it's a joy to use, man.
26:12Like, oh man. And then even though the triggers are, like, clicky, they're very responsive.
26:19So, yeah. See, this is a pretty solid third-party controller for your Wii if you're looking for
26:27a good pro alternative. But yeah, I also love the freaking LEDs. Yeah, I'm always a sucker
26:35for those. But overall, yeah, it's a solid controller for ten bucks, I'm not gonna lie.
26:41So, yeah, I'll probably give you guys an update of the quality and everything. But yeah, definitely
26:50approve, man. You should definitely get yourself one of these controllers on AliExpress for ten
26:54bones. I might get another one. I don't know. But then again, like I said, you know, we'll
27:00see how it fares in the upcoming months. And see how durable it really is. So far, I'm very impressed.
27:13And yeah. Thumbs up for this controller. And thank you for watching this unboxing,
27:22this last first impression video of the Nintendo Switch. I always call it that. Yes. The Nintendo
27:31Switch gaming control from Saitake. Or no, Saitake. I want to say Saitake instead of Saitake.
27:39Yeah. Okay. Thank you all for watching. Love, peace, chicken brews.
