Say what you will about the Nintendo GameCube controller’s button placement and secondary analogue stick that looks and feels like a nipple; it’s still one of the most comfortable controllers ever created for a home console. Plus, it still looks awesome in purple (or funky orange). And with that, NYXI’s GameCube-inspired Wizard Wireless Joy-pad for the Switch might just be the first must-have peripheral for 2023.

In addition to coming with a frame, meaning it can be used standalone or connected to the Switch, you’ve got additional customisation in the form of removable joysticks and replaceable joystick rings. It’s cool and looks even better, thanks to the illuminating buttons.

Never Develop Drift in a Lifetime

The components in a Hall Effect joystick never physically touch, the sensors do not wear out like they do on analog joysticks. This means that in theory, Hall Effect joysticks never develop drift in their lifetime

Precise Control & Instant Trigger

Lighter, with less resistance, and shorter trigger distances. With this hyper-fast, limited motion, you can take quick reaction shots quicker while playing your favorite shooter games.

ABXY Buttons

ABXY buttons come with white light effects and a comfortable feel for an enhanced gaming experience.

Interchangeable Joystick Rings

Change joystick rings for different games. Round joystick circle allows you to play racing games without borders, while in fighting games, you can choose the octagonal joystick circle to quickly and accurately position the attack direction.

Unfortunately, NYXI’s GameCube-inspired Wizard Wireless (AUD 101) is currently sold out, though you can register your interest, and there is global shipping to Australia.
