Customers are delighted by the Proteus 3-In-1 Joy-Con Grip's comfortable and improved grip, finding it enhances the Nintendo Switch gaming experience. Many appreciate its affordability and the added convenience of charging capabilities while playing. However, some users noted that the button size may be a point of concern for those with larger hands.
The Nintendo Switch has a wide range of accessories, ranging from good to mediocre to downright useless. The Proteus X3 goes further and it could be a game changer for some gamers. The idea was to take the joy-cons from the Switch and to create a modular controller that would work not only with the Nintendo console, but would also function with iPhones and Androids, allowing to play on your phone as if you would with a portable console. The box contains the Proteus and a quick start guide. It looks a lot like the original joy-pad accessory that comes with the Switch, the joy-cons slip and lock into place the same way. People with bigger paws will likely be happy with it as it offers a bit more comfort. If you want to swap to phone gaming mode, all you need to do is to slide out the middle section and lock it into place in a horizontal position. You can then extend the middle section to secure your phone. Once the joy-cons are paired, you can start playing pretty much immediately. Here's a quick look at what's good and what could be better: Pros: + 3-in-1 makes it a great, low-cost accessory which extends the use of your joy-cons + Feels sturdy, everything slides and locks into place tight + Enough room for a phone with a case + LED's show you the battery life of the joy-cons + Affordable! Cons: - No rubber grip, just textured plastic which isn't great - Does not allow to charge the joy-cons All in all, this is a great idea and I hope to perhaps see a X4 soon with improved grips and charging. At any rate, this is a really smart idea and it works just fine. Recommended!

Proteus X3 three-in-one Joy-Con Grips for Nintendo Switch is what you expect. Its textured grips for your Mobile Phone, Nintendo Switch, and controller grip; the product transformers for your convenience. I've tested the product for the Switch. I'll start off with some positives as these are nice to hold in the hand with a simple basic design. I will say the ergonomics molds nicely into the hand. These do not come with Joy-con controllers but rather grips to slide your Joy-Cons into. Not much going on with the packaging but there is a QR code on the back of the box to showcase what it's like to use it. a Demo. Proteus X3 is a modular 3-piece design and allows for a USB-C cord to fit mobile phones. Mobilegamingcorps seems to have the right ideas when making a grip for your hands. I see the intentions and desire they have in making this product but there are some areas where improvement must be made if they want to sand out a little more. Not only does the Proteus X3 make the Nintendo Switch even heavier to hold but it makes the system also top-heavy. (Causing you to tilt the device as you use it. curving it.) These are two areas where I will probably stop using these grips. Worst of all I know grips extend the switch's length making it a tad bit awkward to hold which is understandable in the nature of grips but its something about these that just feels strange and unnatural even compared to other ones. Grips make it insanely larger; some people may find this uncomfortable. However, I believe if you are used to grips the weight won't bother you as much. The case extenders make it so it can hold larger Android phones. My suggestion for the next model is to hammer down the ergonomics of the grips, lighten the grips, and a battery pack version If weight must be applied... Also, do something crazy like throw small Bluetooth speakers inside a controller grip for phones. I can see this company getting it right down the line. I guess I would recommend these if you really don't have any other options for Nintendo Switch Grips. 3rd place item in my opinion but the ambition is there for improvements. These grips are also cheap so it's not a big hit on the wallet.

This joy con grip is just what you've needed. Even though, many of us weren't asking for it. As the Nintendo Switch has always been able to hit the sweet spot of comfort and convenience for most fans of the hand-held console. But there are a select many gamers that would love the extra comfort that comes with the Proteus 3 in 1 Joy Con grip, from Game League Corps. I am amongt that select group, even though I didn't know it until I attached this thing to my Switch OLED. The Proteus 3 in 1, is very easy to connect to your system. Ironicly enough, it comes in 3 partts. 2 Joy con connecters and 1 spine piece. This allows you to connect eaach indevidual joy con to its perspective grip( with the spine set aside. Or you can connect the spine in the exxact fashion that you would see from the standard Joy con grip that comes inside the Nintendo Switch box. With the added extention of larger grips. That would make for two , so the 3rd and final mode is for those fans that didn't bring their Swithc consoles with them, but instead, like to game on their smart phones. That is where the spine can go into smart phone grip mode. It connects to just about any phone you have and gives you that extra comfort and assurance that your gamng experience will be a great one. It breaks down easily , for easy storage and it's very affordable. The material does feel as cheap as the standard joy con grip, so just keep it storred in a safe place. It may not fit in your Switch carrying case also. So again, put it somewhere safe when it isn't in use. I do love it and I do recommend it to all mobile gamers.
