Mobapad M12HD: The Full Story
Full Disclosure:
Mobapad sent me this controller for review. They didn’t see this review before I published it. All opinions are my own, and there is no money exchange in the process.
TLDW:
- Uses the same TMR Glide Sticks as the ChiTu 2 series
- First 3rd party Switch 2 Joy-Cons that able to support HD Rumble and NFC, clever engineering that repurposes legacy Switch 1 USB protocol with custom power management
- The creative approach caused a UX hiccup that confused Switch players, not a smooth launch
- They acknowledging the issue publicly and offering a fix
- Most issues, including gyro workaround and deadzone configuration, are now resolved via the 0.33 firmware update.
