Hyperion 3 Outshines Switch 2 Joy-Cons, but Misses One Key Feature

NYXI’s Hyperion 3 is a premium handheld-focused third‑party Switch 2 Joy‑Con alternative, offering a more ergonomic grip, larger buttons, swappable D-pads, programmable rear buttons, RGB lighting and Hall‑effect sticks to largely eliminate drift. However, it lacks Nintendo’s optical sensor (no mouse control) and comes with a high price, though pre-orders include an early‑bird price of $119 (down from $170) before shipping starts March 1, 2026.
