[Deal du Jour] The Nyxi brand markets a pair of Joy-Con for Nintendo Switch which takes up the cult design of the Nintendo Gamecube controller. If you’re nostalgic for Nintendo’s old console and its curvaceous purple controller, then these Joy-Cons will take you back in time. In addition, the sticks are guaranteed without drift. A promo code of -10% currently allows you to have them for less than 60 €.
What is this promo on the Nyxi Wizard wireless controller?
Marketed for its launch at a price of €66.34, the Nyxi Wizard controller for Nintendo Switch costs €59.70 on the brand’s official website, thanks to the promo code GAMECUBE4EVER.
What is this controller for Switch reminiscent of the Gamecube?
Asereje, the summer 2002 hit of Las Ketchup, resounds in the background, perhaps in spite of you, while you insert the optical disc of Luigi’s Mansion in your Gamecube. Your first steps with the controller are feverish, but the gaming sensations are there. Remained in all memories, this purple controller with an atypical shape was designed by Shigeru Miyamoto himself. It is resurrected today by Nixy, which offers a version for the Nintendo Switch. The design of the Wizard takes that of the old Gamecube controller, as well as the color so decried at the time. The white and yellow sticks are present, and the location of the keys scrupulously respected. Apart from the Switch’s own buttons, two remappable keys under the shell, and a welcome backlight, the controller is identical to the 2002 version.
Necessarily more imposing, these Joy-Con will feel a little more once in hand. Unfortunately, a small impression of fragility is felt, in particular because of their weight, which is lighter than classic Joy-Cons, despite their larger size. However, the excellent finishes suggest that the Nyxi controller is more robust than it looks.
Is this Nyxi controller a bargain at 10% off?
Nostalgic for the old Nintendo console, or looking for a pair of Joy-Cons that don’t drift, it’s a bargain at 10% off. As with classic Joy-Con, the Nyxi Wizard controller can be plugged into the Switch or used separately, with a right and a left Joy-Con. You can also use it as a traditional controller, like the pro controller, thanks to the part that brings together the two Joy-Con. The two joysticks are guaranteed without drift, these unwanted actions on the part of the right and left sticks. Hall Effect joysticks use magnets and an electrical conductor to keep components from touching. They thus work without friction, but will still be less precise than conventional analog sticks.
You can also change the rings of the sticks, with the choice between a round or an octagonal ring. The former emphasizes precision, while the latter improves the speed of your movements. The Nixy Wizard promises about 8 hours of battery life, and recharges in just over 2 hours. You can connect it wired if necessary.
