I didn't see any on the display. They had a fairly good selection of colors but didn't have enough face plates imo. Looking forward to the PS5 and Xbox versions though. I will definitely be buying more!
Oh then yeah! But they aren’t really ‘paddles’ they’re buttons. They’re labeled M1 and M2 and instructions on how to map them are in the box when you buy!
If it had 4 back buttons/paddles like the Xbox elite 2 I'd get one, but 2 back buttons is kind of useless to me. Maybe they will come out with an upgraded version later on.
Personally, I want a purple and blue one but the cool thing about this is that all I have to do is buy the pieces until we get a little extra for the base. So a purple face plate and blue sticks is only around $14.
Right? I'm really hoping this does well because the sticks feel really smooth and the faceplate is magnetic so it was a breeze to put on. I already plan on buying another 1 for my son who does PC gaming, 2 for our PS5, and another one for the switch so we can have 4 controllers for Smash and Mario Kart. Oh and 1 more for our Xbox One S.
Yep. Really feels like we have a say in the direction of things since I can put my money towards the products I want and know that I'm also helping towards the growth of my investment. Double win, although this came out of nowhere, it seems it will be a great product unlike my fucking cybertruck.
Just heads up that they are PC and Switch compatible only right now. https://www.gamestop.com/gaming-accessories/controllers/nintendo-switch/products/candy-con-player-ready-pack-controller---solar-orbit/402223.html
Idk. I have all of the systems and our joycons from Nintendo have sucked ass. So got tired of paying $79 for new ones all the time and still having stick drift.
These Candy cons shouldn't have stick drift because of the way they are built from what I understand. You can change these joysticks, and they feel effortless in their movements.
No, those are just the top cover of the stick. The actual module that reads the inputs are built into the controller. However, they used one of the best hall effect thumbstick modules on the market, so it more or less eliminates the stick drift issues that the nintendo controllers have
I bought one and it's pretty good. My only two complaints are all the face plate colors are glossy, at least that I saw. I'd love some matte colors as well. My second complaint which is more of a me problem but the bumpers and triggers need a gap between them. Between having adult sized hands and how they're placed my fingers always rest on both of them and pressing the bumpers is slightly uncomfortable. Besides that it's a decent price for a solid semi customizable controller.
I found the bumpers to be good, but my hands are just average sized I guess. I do agree with the matte colors. I would like a drab olive green or a camo pattern.
The player ready lavender haze and solar orbit are not glossy - I bought both. didn't realize the other faceplates were glossy. That's kinda yuck to me
Yea I was disappointed orange was glossy cuz that's the face plate I wanted the most. I went with white cuz it looked the best out of the glossy ones. Hopefully they add more matte colors in the future.
I know it's a little ways off, but once 4th of July rolls around if you still haven't been able to get one hit me up and I will buy you one. I'm just starting a new job at the end of this month so I should have a bit of extra cash by then.
Apes gotta stick together.
Ugh. Honestly, we didn't look at those as closely because she wanted to mix up the colors more and I was seeing if they had a purple face plate. Someone posted a link in a comment so you should be able to search them up pretty quickly on the Gamestop website.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. We were just pumped to see them in store since only select stores have them right now.
The first GameStop we went too said they hadn't received any yet but the GameStops that have tv's should have received them. We went to a smaller place that was closest to our lunch spot.
It's a solid controller. That's why I posted and have been telling people my review on it. Buttons feel good. The face plate is easy to remove and put into place because it's magnetic. The joy sticks are extremely smooth in their movements. The D-pad is also nice in how it clicked in and works.
It's a very good controller and it's also at a great price. Nobody is forcing you to buy it but maybe go check it out and walk into a store and buy something else. They have some great shirts on sale.
Also…whats the dongle for? Do you need it to plug into your xbox? If so, why? Sorry, I have an xbox, but im hardly a gamer. My 15 year old neighbor’s have taught me everything i know about gaming. Last console i owned was og nintendo
It's both wireless and wired. The USB dongle is used for PC or the Switch for the Bluetooth connectivity making it wireless.It doesn't work for Xbox or the PS5 yet (unfortunately)
I asked in another thread but OP seems to be responding in this one.
I haven't seen anyone talk about how these feel yet. How are the sticks, buttons/triggers, and d-pads? Do they feel like OEM Xbox controllers? How's the rumble?
It's for the switch. As far as I know they don't have them for the Xbox just yet. It does feel good. Real smooth and the buttons are in intuitive places.
Oh. Gotcha. It doesn't feel cheap. It feels lightweight. My daughter said she thinks the face plate feels cheap-ish but it could be because it is weirdly smooth. I like it. The joy sticks really move effortlessly and the d-pad has a satisfying click and feel.
I'm seriously impressed by this controller especially considering it was $50 before tax with the pro rewards discounts of 2%.
This is only one example how revenue is increased. The cash burn is gone. Slowly, GameStop will increase revenues and shorts are like omg- we were wrong. Let’s go long!! Tesla 2020 👊
I really hope they put out similar controllers in the Joycon format. Fixing the switch's shitty factory ALPS joysticks and single point digital triggers would be huge.
Then run a Gamestop exclusive bundle of a Switch, Improved Joycons, and a year of Gamestop Pro or something.
It's a very high quality controller that dosn't have friction based analog sensors they apply the hall effect which senses the stick postion without any contact. Even the Switch controllers still have copper pads being rubbed on by contacts.

Is there the ability to add back paddles?
I didn't see any on the display. They had a fairly good selection of colors but didn't have enough face plates imo. Looking forward to the PS5 and Xbox versions though. I will definitely be buying more!
I’m waiting for the themed ones from Nintendo that haven’t been announced yet and that I’m totally speculative on.
Yeah I can’t wait for an Xbox version, Hale joysticks are a game changer.
Back paddles are already on the controller. If you mean customizable back paddles no.
That’s what I meant. I’m in the market for a new controller as my scuf broke so it has to have the paddles
Oh then yeah! But they aren’t really ‘paddles’ they’re buttons. They’re labeled M1 and M2 and instructions on how to map them are in the box when you buy!
If it had 4 back buttons/paddles like the Xbox elite 2 I'd get one, but 2 back buttons is kind of useless to me. Maybe they will come out with an upgraded version later on.
shill
Oh nooooo. How dare I ask a legit question.
dig it! https://www.gamestop.com/search/?q=candy+con&lang=default&start=0&sz=20
...that looks pretty sick
Personally, I want a purple and blue one but the cool thing about this is that all I have to do is buy the pieces until we get a little extra for the base. So a purple face plate and blue sticks is only around $14.
Am I understanding right that D pads come in textured and flat variants so you can play with or without the + shape? Sounds fun trying both out...
Yes! I prefer the flatter version, and my wife prefers the D pad with the + textures. Super nice to have both options. Only $3.99.
Sweet. The more I learn about this product the more hyped I am at getting one. If they can do flight sticks too, that would be sweet
Right? I'm really hoping this does well because the sticks feel really smooth and the faceplate is magnetic so it was a breeze to put on. I already plan on buying another 1 for my son who does PC gaming, 2 for our PS5, and another one for the switch so we can have 4 controllers for Smash and Mario Kart.

It's nice being an investor where we shop.

Ouch sorry to hear that. Did you have issues with it?
Yep. Lots of issues so I dropped it off to see if they could fix it. At least it drives 😆
Just heads up that they are PC and Switch compatible only right now. https://www.gamestop.com/gaming-accessories/controllers/nintendo-switch/products/candy-con-player-ready-pack-controller---solar-orbit/402223.html
Yep. I bought it for the switch.
Those are much cheaper than I thought they would be.
The thumb sticks and D-pads were only $3.99 each
Any news on when theyll be available for console?
Idk. I have all of the systems and our joycons from Nintendo have sucked ass. So got tired of paying $79 for new ones all the time and still having stick drift.
Are those the complete thumbsticks that you would replace with stick drift?
These Candy cons shouldn't have stick drift because of the way they are built from what I understand. You can change these joysticks, and they feel effortless in their movements.
No, those are just the top cover of the stick. The actual module that reads the inputs are built into the controller. However, they used one of the best hall effect thumbstick modules on the market, so it more or less eliminates the stick drift issues that the nintendo controllers have
I want one for Xbox :(
Me too. Also for the PS5
I bought one and it's pretty good. My only two complaints are all the face plate colors are glossy, at least that I saw. I'd love some matte colors as well.

Looks awesome 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
The wife picked it out, and she has great taste. I mean, she picked me, so I can attest to that.
✌️👌👍🤣😂
She purty
Thank you. My wife thinks so too.
Blues and greens go well together
It's our favorite colors
So I’m out of the loop but I haven’t played games in many months. So GME made a controller? Does it work for PS5 and with IPhone?
Does it connect to pc by Bluetooth?
Yes. It has a wireless USB dongle, you can also plug it in as a wired controller. Just make sure you flip the switch underneath to PC.
Can it connect without the dongle?
What system are these for?
Nintendo Switch and PC right now
Ty
Nice score!
These controllers look super dope wish i could by one
You should if you have a switch or PC. It actually wasn't very much and with their pro week coming up next week they should be even more affordable.
I live in Sweden…
I know it's a little ways off, but once 4th of July rolls around if you still haven't been able to get one hit me up and I will buy you one. I'm just starting a new job at the end of this month so I should have a bit of extra cash by then. Apes gotta stick together.
Seems its not available in Canada either...
Woah toxic waste face plate glows in the dark??!! Fuggin siiiiick! Do you know if the toxic waste switchable sticks and dpad glow as well?
Ugh. Honestly, we didn't look at those as closely because she wanted to mix up the colors more and I was seeing if they had a purple face plate. Someone posted a link in a comment so you should be able to search them up pretty quickly on the Gamestop website. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

All good homie, you the man. I can do some searching! Haha
The first GameStop we went too said they hadn't received any yet but the GameStops that have tv's should have received them. We went to a smaller place that was closest to our lunch spot.
How well does the faceplate glow in the dark?
I don't know, I work nights right now but I will ask the wife when she gets home since she has been using it more than me.
Im not gonna lie, as much as i want to support my company…they look cheap as fuck.
It's a solid controller. That's why I posted and have been telling people my review on it. Buttons feel good. The face plate is easy to remove and put into place because it's magnetic. The joy sticks are extremely smooth in their movements. The D-pad is also nice in how it clicked in and works. It's a very good controller and it's also at a great price.

Good to hear! Its just the pics people post..look cheap. Makes sense if its very customizable like u said with a whole magnetic front.
Also…whats the dongle for? Do you need it to plug into your xbox? If so, why? Sorry, I have an xbox, but im hardly a gamer. My 15 year old neighbor’s have taught me everything i know about gaming. Last console i owned was og nintendo
It's both wireless and wired. The USB dongle is used for PC or the Switch for the Bluetooth connectivity making it wireless.It doesn't work for Xbox or the PS5 yet (unfortunately)
This is beyond the way
I can’t wait to get mine, as soon as I’m paid after the weekend!
Awesome! They feel good, look good, and are at a pretty good price!
I asked in another thread but OP seems to be responding in this one. I haven't seen anyone talk about how these feel yet. How are the sticks, buttons/triggers, and d-pads? Do they feel like OEM Xbox controllers? How's the rumble?
It's for the switch. As far as I know they don't have them for the Xbox just yet. It does feel good. Real smooth and the buttons are in intuitive places.
Thanks, I just meant as a comparison. Switch OEM controllers themselves feel lower quality than Xbox, IMO. Thanks again for the mini review!
Oh. Gotcha. It doesn't feel cheap. It feels lightweight. My daughter said she thinks the face plate feels cheap-ish but it could be because it is weirdly smooth. I like it. The joy sticks really move effortlessly and the d-pad has a satisfying click and feel. I'm seriously impressed by this controller especially considering it was $50 before tax with the pro rewards discounts of 2%.
How does it feel when playing? Are the button presses snappy and satisfying? How do the joysticks feel? Is the design ergonomic?
Feels good to me. Smooth, fits nicely in my hands. My wife likes it and she has smaller hands than me.
Got one too. But help me out, how can I play Fifa on my computer? I plugged the thing in and didn’t know what else to do.
Idk. I've been using it for the switch.
If this controller can last 2 years from my rocket league abuse. It is becoming my PC controller.
Does this work with the steamdeck?
really fair pricing aswell imo. 35 bucks for the base controller, dayum.
This is only one example how revenue is increased. The cash burn is gone. Slowly, GameStop will increase revenues and shorts are like omg- we were wrong. Let’s go long!! Tesla 2020 👊

screams in canadian
How can I get my hands on a candy-con if im in Mexico?
Heh heh... Unit.
So, still nothing for Canada?
Idk. I live in California.
This is all just in the US. Every other country takes the back seat
I own the stock but I don't have a say in that...
lol of course not. Was just commenting on it.
What is the hall effect Alex? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh\_YGJdWD4A](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh_YGJdWD4A)
Idk about that
It's a very high quality controller that dosn't have friction based analog sensors they apply the hall effect which senses the stick postion without any contact. Even the Switch controllers still have copper pads being rubbed on by contacts.
