First, I've been a diehard Mobapad fan since the release of the M6 HD, which I think are absolutely perfect. I saw the video from Rerez on YouTube and the second I realized all the buttons, and especially the Dpad, use microswitches, I instantly ordered and never used another pair of joycon since.

On to the M12 HD. They are pretty great, but I really think it was a mistake to not make a model that has the best from the M12 HD and the M12 S model.
The HD do not charge in sleep mode, and though there is a work around, and they're adding the charging grip, it is still disappointing.
They also only have 6 axis gyro, instead of 9 axis like first party joycon or even the M12 S model. It's still pretty good, but obviously not as accurate as 9 axis gyro.
These are my only major gripes.

Having said that, I still really like what they got right. The excellent microswitches are back (seriously, I play a lot of shmups and a ton of Virtua Figther--the Dpad is fantastic) and feel great.
The new TMR glide sticks are a great new edition, and feel great.
I don't usually care about rumble when playing in portable mode, but the HD rumble is so much better than standard rumble that the S model and their major competitor uses in their joycons.

Overall i'm very happy with whats great, but disappointed with the couple of negatives. I hope Mobapad releases a newer, more complete model that addresses the issues in the future. Until then i will happily use the M12 HD for 99% of my Switch2 portable playtime (they obviously don't have mouse function, so I'll have to use the first party joycons for those few games)..
They're not perfect like the M6 HD, but still great. I'm happy with my purchase.

I'll will always suggest the m12 for who want more confortable pad.

Overall, I'm satisfied. The vibration is decent, though not quite as good as on the Joy-Cons, and they work well in wireless mode. The analog sticks have a wide range of motion, which is a big plus. The comfort of use is in a league of its own compared to the original Joy-Cons—it’s just great. On the downside—I had to update the Mobapad firmware via my phone for them to start working properly; waking them up with the home button works but with a slight delay, which is tolerable. And it’s worth noting that you need to enable USB Pro Controller support on the console; unfortunately, the Mobapads work this way, so they won’t function like traditional Joy-Cons. The console will always recognize them as externally connected controllers rather than standard Joy-Cons. Is this a big problem? No, it doesn’t really affect anything.

Awesome and great felling
it's very comfortable

So I got to use Mobapad M12 Switch 2 Joy-cons for a month and I can honestly say....Im impressed. The quality of the product surpasses Nintendo's joy-cons by miles ahead. Im so happy with them and they're so comfortable. It will be hard, almost impossible to go back. Thank you mobapad for creating such masterpiece.

I bought this because of retro games corp video. The controller makes the switch 2 feel premium when holding it. I thought I was loosing my mind. Disconnected it reconnected and it felt even more premium the second time. I will be buying a second one for my son because wow. This thing is what Nintendo should be offering to their base. I told my friends about it and they got theirs instantly called me and said this is the bomb. Wooooooooooow.

I never played handheld much, as my hands are size large. I got cramps and pains during long gaming sessions. Plus the ergonomics of the Nintendo joy-cons are just uncomfortable. So I got a third-party grip that uses the OE joy-cons and everything was fine. However, then the OE joy-cons started to drift. After research, I got the M6-HDs, and that changed everything. They feel quality. They work great. And they are comfortable. I now can play very long sessions that before were impossible. I have a Switch 2 also, but the Switch 1 with my Mobapad joy-cons are so great, that I am keeping the Switch 1 for relaxed playing of side-scrollers and platformers. I will also like get Mobapad joy-cons for the Switch 2 in the near future.

Last week I thought to sell my base joycons because I have now the mobapad for my nsw2 but I keep it for backup, I’m in love with this controllers, they’re pwrfect

I'm very satisfied with my purchase. It really enhances my handheld experience. The original Joycons alwas felt to cramped for my hands and the lack of a true D-pad really hurted my platform play in handheld.

I've got the original Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller for docked play and a 8BitDo SN30 Pro for docked NES/SNES NSO play and I can now enjoy those games in handheld to, thanks to the Mobapad M12 HD's D-pad.
The bigger grips and TMR Glide sticks make playing games like Doom or FC26 a joy in handheld mode to.

The only time when I might buy different joycon's would be when Mobapad brings out Switch 2 Joycons with full Switch 2 protocols, HD Rumble 2 and mousemode. But untill then, this will be great.

Love them, 8/10, would reccomend (only improvements would be true Switch 2 protocols, with mousemode and HD Rumble 2)

I had the mobapad 1 for the original switch and it was such a game changer that it was a no brainer to preorder the 2nd edition for the switch 2. After a month of play with them (roughly) I can say they are better than the first edition in every way. They also fixed the only issue I had with the original edition, which was being unable to turn the switch on through the joycons. Do yourself a favor and buy these (especially if you have bigger hands).

The controllers work and feel great!The ergonomics are impeccable, and they click of the buttons is satisfying!I enjoy the LED logos! The rumble works fairly well!I am not a big rumble person! Any question I have had the company has responded quickly!

I've been enjoying my time with them since getting them, though there were issues along the way, mainly on the firmware side of things. Thankfully customer support was very helpful in resolving my issues.

There are features from both I like, and it would be nice if someday they could all be combined together into one set of controllers. For now, these make handheld play much more enjoyable than the original Switch 2 controllers.

The one i got is the M12 s Arrive today is the best controller for the switch 2 is quite good and easy to use and look so cool on the switch 2

I received mine yesterday and so far I'm really enjoying them.
They do have a few quirks, but most of them seem to be fixable (the joycons had an update available in the APP and fixed a bug for example).

The mechanical buttons are pretty clicky which I personally really like but it may not be for everyone.

Honestly, what I like the most about them is just how comfortable they are to hold. It makes the Switch 2 look similar to the Deck and at least ergonomically, that's a major plus for me.

I just got mine today and the packaging felt really premium. The controller has a smooth but grippy feel and a satisfying heft to it (good weight). And while I didn't buy it for the RGB , I was pleasantly surprised by how good it looks and even more by the fact that you can change it through the app. I've never felt sticks this smooth and the D-pad is insanely accurate (perfect diagonals on Guilty Gear Strive). If a black or gray color way came out I would 100% buy another one.
