After four hours of play on the moderately button-heavy game of Pokémon Legends Arceus, the BinBok RGB Joycons were still comfortable to hold and rarely offered a moment of delayed responsiveness. On the much more button-intensive Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the need to adapt to the new buttons was much more apparent. While it may not be the most complicated input, reprogramming the rear macro buttons as D-pad directional inputs allowed for easy swaps between weapons, bows, items, and more during my time with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This small quality-of-life improvement highlights how the BINBOK Gemini Controller elevated my gaming experience. Plus – I liked matching the RGB lighting display with whatever I had going on in-game. Navigating waterways compelled me to toggle on the Blue RGB display scheme.

While slimmer and more streamlined than a DualSense for the PlayStation 5, they offer significantly more grip and hold than the relatively flat official Joy-Cons.BinBok has released a case for the switch, however, we have not tested the case and cannot comment on its quality. How do I connect my BinBok controller? These controllers don’t offer any flex and feel just as sturdy as the Switch Joy-Cons. That said, when set in on the divider, the controller as a whole piece does feel a little less stable than with the official set-up. For someone with big hands, this could be a problem if a particularly frustrating game is in play, but other than that, they fit well and offer more comfort. Long Play (4 hours)
