NYXI Wizard Controllers
Since the arrival of the Nintendo Switch in 2017, the excellent hybrid console has suffered from a major flaw: the comfort of its detachable controllers. To replace the Joy-con from the Japanese manufacturer, the NYXI brand marketed its NYXI Wizard controller a few months ago. After having reworked the design of the classic Joy-Cons several times, the brand decided to push the limits even further, with a GameCube design straight out of the 1990s, and unbeatable user comfort, which has the luxury of retaining the versatility of the Joy-Con.
To get a better idea of the object, you can also read our full review of the NYXI Wizard controller. Expect to pay around €65 to treat yourself to the beast, which will give your video game games the nostalgia they were missing.
