Available now from Amazon for a shade over £36 this new wireless game controller from NYXI has to be the most visually exciting gaming controller I have ever used. It is made from high quality completely transparent ABS with seven multi-coloured LED lights.

The device arrived in a simple but attractive branded product box containing the controller, USB charging cable, and a rather hard to read User Guide. I append a scan of the User Guide to my unboxing video, switch to full screen and pause to read it.

It is made for use with the Switch but it will work with a PC when connected with a USB cable. It claims to also work with Android and iOs, but this I have not yet tested. It is powered by a 600mAh rechargeable battery with a USB-C port for charging and data connection.

The controller has a tough ABS construction with an amazingly clear, almost glass-like transparent body revealing all the internal components within. The controller is probably the best equipped I have yet tried and features adjustable twin vibration engines, 15 control buttons, D-Pad, two joysticks, a reset button, motion sensor, 6 Axis Gyro and 7 eight coloured LEDs.

To connect the controller first power on the Switch with the controller plugged in via USB and touch any button on the controller to wake it up. Unplug the cable and the controller will pair automatically to the Switch. Next, when using the controller for the first time, on the Switch go to the 'Handle Settings - Change Grip/Order' page and press the Controller Y key and then press and hold the Home key. The LED lights will flash to confirm the connection. Subsequently, the connection should be automatic when the controller is switched on.

After a two hour charge of the non-replaceable battery, it is claimed to work for up to 8hours and with up to 25 days on standby. I have no reason to doubt this. It will operate normally when charging and is designed for both wired and wireless use.

The construction feels reassuringly robust and ergonomically friendly in the hand. The buttons and controls are all easy to use and resistance-free. I must say I noticed hardly any latency when using it, which is a distinct step up from some controllers I have tried.

This is a fine product for the money. High-level gamers may be prepared to pay much more for the slightly smoother gaming experience and reduced latency of a native controller but for most Switch gamers, this new device should offer all they need.
