The first surprise is the packaging. The NYXI Hyperion 2 arrives in a fitted plastic container that almost feels like a controller accessory itself. Then I take the actual halves out and get to the part I want to try: how they feel attached to the Switch.

## Lights and removable covers

I turn the controllers on, try the lighting modes and look over the buttons. They have a clicky feel, and there are rear buttons as well as the familiar controls around the front.

The magnetic covers pull off and snap back into place. I like the possibility of changing the look without replacing the whole controller.

## The attached shape is the big difference

With both halves fitted to my Switch, the grip feels much fuller than a flat-sided handheld. I bring over a Steam Deck to compare the general shape and explain why that extra contour feels comfortable to me.

I also mention the connection trouble I have had with my existing Switch setup. This quick fitting session does not prove a long-term repair for that issue, and I do not run a full game or drift test here.

## Can it still go in the dock?

I try the console in the dock with the Hyperion 2 attached, and it physically fits in this setup. That is a useful check because some of my other attached accessories get in the way. I do not measure charging or establish fit for every dock variant.

My separate [NYXI Warrior first look](<https://pyrosoft.pro/blog/the-ultimate-gamecube-inspired-wireless-gamepad-for-2025-nyxi-warrior-e710b4f5>) explores a different controller design. This one is about the Switch's attached grip and the hardware controls I can try immediately.
