hi and welcome back to this fight for you of course you may already know that this bites
for you is the pc tech channel everything pc here so when ao line reached out to me saying hey iggy
we'd love for you to review our nintendo switch controller i'm like you guys have never checked
out my channel pc period they're like no no no yeah we've checked out your channel but this works
for the switch and the pc i got both so i figured well let's go ahead and do it you're a gamer too
just like me so best of both worlds the switch and the pc why not right so in this video i'm
going to be doing an unboxing an overview and then a review of the ao lion nintendo switch bluetooth
controller a little bit more than that but anyway come over here real quick let's get started with
the unboxing and get to some testing all right so here we are again the aolin pgns2028 controller
pg right over here see the model number and then durable gaming and buttons easy connection
a bunch of the stuff there and then some more good stuff back here
okay oddly enough doesn't open up very well with a knife
all right so first off comes with the product specifications
just basic real tiny information on what you find in here
then we have a cable looks like a usb-a to a usb-c cable
see that usbc
and a usb 2.0 a connector this is it's real short about three feet
i'll put the exact measurements right down here then we have the controller itself
it feels real light got some plastic over here
that wasn't bad now we have their line logo right over here now the controller feels it
feels pretty nice in your hands nsl wireless controller you can see that right down here
okay so we have l 2l r 2r there is the usb type c connector and that looks like a bluetooth pairing
button but we'll find out soon enough then we have these two right over here as well as over here
home then a t a bunch of different buttons here x a y b it feels pretty oh and it looks like it's
already started so this has a six axis gyroscope chip in the handle fine tony and auxiliary fine
aiming fast and accurate target they state now the terrible button allows for quick bursts that
will test that out in a minute it also has dual motor vibration design three gear adjustments
and feedback vibration effects according to the game as we already saw it has a one touch wake up
press that home and then we could see it start to turn on it wakes up the host when
the switch is in standby this has a 500 milliamp rechargeable lithium ion battery
the battery life is between eight and ten hours and it takes three hours to charge
it looks like they sent it to me with a charge already which is great all right
so let's get started with this real quick as a standard nintendo switch connected to a tv
that's gonna work as intended no problem now in order to from what i understand at least
the first time to get this this controller to work you need to connect the usb cable
to the back of here maybe just for the first time into the usb port
okay and then
this guy right up here shows a little orange light and then it showed paired up there
on the screen for a split second now said paired oh now i hit home
see the little knight rider light and then it showed that it connected down here
so now okay and also i felt a rumble at this point
i should be able to take that off okay and it's paired so now i think we have in here
yeah we have so do an update of course one sec so let's get out of here
let's go into this real quick and now that it's the only one connected we can see right over here
l r we're good and i'm not going to play a real game just want to do a quick one
to show you guys how it works or if it works well
okay right now
seems to work well okay as i you might have heard already it's vibrating which is nice
so it feels like a regular pro and it vibrates nicely feels like a regular pro controller so
so you can hear it vibrating it vibrates nicely
the controls feel great i like the way it fits in my hand
okay and it also has where you push
these down and they act as a button doesn't have a use in this game
oh look at that what is that so i haven't played this game yet
as i'm sure you can tell but so it's cool that these are also controllers
and or not controllers but buttons oh no no no
so it feels great everything feels natural about it mind you i haven't played this
game before but you know mario game is a mario game you are also able to control the intensity
of the vibration which is pretty cool you do that by holding down the t button
that's pretty cool and then raising or lowering here
let me hold that next to the microphone okay and then down
so it looks like there's three steps off middle it's kind of just a low rumble
and then high and then higher so four steps so that's pretty cool all right so now for turbo
all right let's see what function we can put turbo so if i hold down t and y
y is now turboed so easy programmable buttons there so that works pretty well so let's go see
how it works on a pc consoles are cool and everything but i'm a pc guy myself
and in my opinion you just can't play every single game on the pc with a controller i'm
a keyboard and mouse kind of guy now i cannot play an fps to save my life with a controller but
games like shadow the tomb raider and grand theft auto and a bunch of others flight sims even are
awesome with controllers so let me show you real quick one thing before we go there just make sure
you have either bluetooth on your computer or you'd have to use a usb cable not a big deal
it brings the cable to short cable but it brings a cable you'd have to have your own usb adapter
for the computer i'll go ahead and put a link down in the description below so let's start
this real quick we're going to go ahead on the notification area down here open up bluetooth
and click add bluetooth device and then we'll click here add bluetooth or other device then
we'll click bluetooth so here we're going to press and hold this button up here for a few seconds
then we'll see this little guy up here this is letting
letting us know hey searching for a bluetooth device
and you might have to scroll down there we go down here pro controller connecting as soon as you see
the single one light up right there there we go we are connected setting up a device now
then we can always just click here or if we want to configure it
just go to set up a game controller and then over here we can if we have others
or if we want to configure it now originally and actually right now you see when i hold down it
goes up and when i hold up it goes down so you're going to have to remember that for certain games
and certain clients like steam for example the first time i hit shadow of the tomb raider it was
you know just as it is down i looked up up i looked down some people are cool with
that i don't like to invert it so i had to select the game then click manage then go to
properties go to controller you'll notice here we have selected the nintendo switch controller
i had to come down here the drop down and choose enable steam input that added it over here
that's all i needed to do so then let's go ahead and start up tomb raider real quick all right so
while we're in the game just go ahead and click load we'll go ahead and the controller is working
now at this point and again down is down and up is up because i made that steam adjustment
so just know that in some games you will need to do that all right so then like any fps or
any shadow of the true mate or a third person game like this you know there's nothing different
about it hydraulics and x so y x b and a like you're used to mind you you can remap everything
maybe we can lift it with those counterweights and there goes the vibration
i bet this water is drainable because of the water down here nice the way that works let's go ahead
try grand theft auto real quick now there are a few limitations on the switch side not so much on
this side so while there is integration into steam you saw the way that i made that work in steam on
other gaming clients as rockstars client it's not so easy they'll let the xbox controller
work because xbox is microsoft so it's windows but there are ways around it let me show you how
real quick and i'm not going to go real in depth into it but if you want to learn more
about it just let me know if i have enough people asking for it i'll make a video on it
alright so as i've already shown you before we can see it over here in the game controllers but
for the rockstar client that's not enough we have to virtualize it so with this guy here
we're gonna go ahead and download the toca edit or the x360ce software i'll go ahead and put a
link down in the description below and then we need to configure it we need to go ahead and map
all the keys and everything and it is a little bit difficult it's not impossible
but you know after you've mapped it you've configured it and everything
now we can go ahead and load up grand theft auto 5 i need to remap the keys a little bit better
than i have already it's not a hundred percent perfect oh i didn't mean to poor kitty i'm sorry
but uh oops so it's not 100 perfect mapped which one you want but uh you know and i'll
go ahead and bleep out all the curse words but you can see everything works perfectly well
remember again this is for the switch
as long as you map the controls it works perfectly fine just know you know they didn't
but i just want to make sure that you know you understand about that boy
if you want to chump them things up here through the studio
i honestly didn't expect too much from it
that was kind of dumb of me that it's actually a pretty amazing controller you can see here i mean
mind you looking at it it's probably nothing out of this world but it fits in your hands perfectly
it fits exactly like a switch pro controller does everything is in perfect distance the
trigger buttons up here both of them l1 l2 r1 r2 and then these controllers here as well as here
and then this controller down here these buttons as well they're kind of out of the way you kind
of have to stretch maybe a little bit more but not horribly and these are buttons most of the
times that you're not going to be accessing while you're playing anyway the turbo feature is pretty
awesome and again the fact that even though it's not made with that emulation software i'm able to
go ahead and use it outside of windows so this is what it looks like along the top you can see
here is where you control you connect the usbc cable the other side is usb-a to charge and to
connect to your computer of course and then that's where you're going to connect or press it to sync
up with your pc and then sorry it's a little bit fingerprinty but it's going to attract that
the finish looks very nice and you can see here that way it's not so slippery in your hands if
you sweat a little preparations there it is a matte black but i think it's pretty nice looking
i definitely will keep this handy with all my all my builds right around the corner
all right so you've seen me connect the aolin switch controller both through usb and
through bluetooth and it works perfectly fine the battery life now you may have noticed during this
entire video i've changed my shirt a few times and you know each day i go to my day job so
i've been doing this now for about what four or five days or something and when i received this
from wherever it came from i had never charged it so it's been going through the mail for however
long it took and then the days that i've been going in between playing with it and everything
so i'm pretty impressed by the battery now this is supposed to be a nintendo switch controller
compatible with the nintendo switch like i showed you earlier now being as i mentioned before
windows 10 from microsoft the xbox controller is going to work better overall more compatible
but because the only xbox i have is a 360 and i don't play it anymore i have a switch
so this is naturally going to work better for me now you may have noticed or you i'm
sure you noticed when i played on shadow of the tomb raider it was on steam i had to configure
this to work within steam not a big deal in order for it to work within grand theft auto
i had to use the rockstar client which is in no way compatible with steam unless you get it
on steam or plug it into steam but i didn't want to do that i wanted to show you outside of steam
so i was able to use this controller with that emulation software which i'll go ahead and link
everything i've used in this video down below as well so that makes it compatible with just
about everything so that's pretty awesome all right so we've gone pretty much over everything
on the controller i've shown you up nice and close it is a nice looking controller again it
feels great in my hands as i mentioned before the battery life is great the price is awesome so let
me know what you guys think down below i'd love to get your feedback so that's about it for now again
this is iggy with this bites4u showing you the ao lion switch pro controller iggy out see you guys
