Reddit reviews CYBER · grip rubber coating (for 3DS LL)

Just over-payed for this grip from Japan.

I'm in the U.S. but I'd like to have this as I kick back for my first session of Majora's Mask next month. A bit pricey, but at this point I'm just bleeding money, so why stop now?

Note the difference in where the grip attaches to the New 3DS (front corners and one clip in the back) as opposed to the standard 3DS XL grip). The slot on the front won't be blocked, nor will access to the stylus.

Just wanted to let you guys know that if these exist already in Japan, it's probably only a matter of time before they're over here, and for much cheaper.

I can go for as long as I want because of this. Get one!

I've used this, which is similar and very comfortable.

I say neither. I have this, and its great.

I also just ordered this thing, but it hasn't arrived yet.

This is probably the closest you'll get to making it feel anything like a real controller.

I just bought one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It's actually really nice grip and it gets me in a better habit of having my fingers on L and R the whole time.

They only have 4 left! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I had a HUGE problem with the shape of the 3DS, too. While this doesn't make it QUITE as awesome as using a controller, a good grip will effectively do away with the hand cramps. This is the one I got, in case you're interested.

So I've been looking for a grip option for my switch when I'm playing it in handheld mode. I have a grip for my 3ds xl and its awesome (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

So I'm looking for something like this, but for my switch, thoughts on this Mumba grip/case, or have any other suggestions?

I have CYBER's 3DS LL grip. It feels good, looks good, and is really comfortable. It's easy to attach / detach and has a little compartment for two additional games. The only thing is blocks is the stylus compartment and that isn't really important anyway.

Unfortunately I can only find one that ships from Japan so you might have to wait a little longer than usual. I highly recommend it otherwise though.

I think this is the one you're referring to. It's pretty great. Basically turns it into a Playstation controller.

I would say to at least try to get used to the bare bones system first. If it's still not feeling quite comfy then, look into some grips and make sure you get as many opinions as you can. Watch videos if possible, see what it's like in action. Some grips aren't that secure on the 3DS, or may scratch the system.

This is the grip I use. I got it primarily for playing Smash, and I don't use it with every game I play.

Or try this.

These are still $11.50 with free Amazon Prime shipping. Rubbery texture, great hand hold. The L/R buttons are a bit difficult to get to at first, but you get used to it and I have no problems.

They DO block the stylus hole, but everything else is accessible.

copy and pasting my old comment. I currently have this one http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411403059&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=cybergrip This is an amazing starter grip. The rubber coating is amazing and the texture is awesome, it's also very secure. My only complaint was the first time I held this, I held it like a controller, so both my index fingers were on the shoulder rests thinking I was pressing L or R buttons. To prevent from confusing myself, I put my middle finger onto the rest and my index finger onto the actual L button (i did not do this for my right hand) and thats how I would hold it. Now, I recently stumbled across THIS beauty. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171469999857 I'm waiting for it to come in but it looks absolutely amazing. It looks like the perfect grip for smash and I suggest anyone to buy one as well. PS: It's out of stock atm but if they're out of stock, just message them and they'll relist the item up. Thats what I did. GRAB THESE QUICK, THEY SOLD OUT OF 10 UNDER 2 HOURS

This is something i have. slightly more expensive but it works.

I use these hand grips for my xl. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008ZXBYJU/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1417747346&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SY200_QL40 I can't imagine using anything else.

I've only ever used an XL and I highly recommend it. Especially with these grips.

EDIT: I have big-ish hands and those grips have stopped hand cramps for me. If you get craps in your hands from playing for any length of time... those are the answer. It is also convenient as you can carry two games in the grip.

Maybe it's against the spirit of this sub but there's a decent grip available for the 3DS XL https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/ref=s9_dcacsd_dcoop_bw_c_x_2_w. It's not perfect but good enough that I haven't feelt the need to design one myself.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008ZXBYJU?cache=52c4ca273edf17bbe43e7e06690fe605&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1412388926&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

Buy that right now and choose the fastest shipping

I'll give a different opinion. I got mine, the plastic felt cheap and the plastic on the sides had some "give". I didn't think that was that comfortable, so I caved and bought a 3ds xl. If you don't think the xl is very comfortable, try this - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008ZXBYJU?pc_redir=1411971363&robot_redir=1 you will after slapping it on.

Yeah I do like it and it is definitely better than no grip but I prefer this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008ZXBYJU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1412205446&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40

The one with the triggers seems kinda junky whereas the Amazon is actually very solid.l but doesn't have the triggers.

I wish I could combine the two.

Honestly it feels great but getting it off has thus far been impossible. Dreamgear makes a good one but I think the best one similar to this is this one. The dreamgear one is more like an overall case, and some people say they have to cut the flaps near the l and r buttons. I consider myself a savvy consumer so maybe I just chose poorly here or got a defective one, I don't know.

I bought this one. It's worked pretty well for me so far. Only thing is I accidentally bent the bottom tab and it snapped off but as long as you don't force it your fine.

http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU try it out. Friend with small hands for some reason had your problem, this was a fix

I don't have a ruler, but my hands are about 1 inch loner than the 3DS XL is long. The 3DS XL is 6.3 inches, so my hand is about 7.3 inches. My Palm size is the width of the 3DS XL, so my palm is about 3.7 inches wide.

None of this really matters in my opinion, because neither of them are comfortable. I tried the 3DS in a store, got cramps. I bought the XL, got cramps. It wasn't until I got a controller style grip for the system that I am able to play it comfortably. My suggestion is that you try them both in stores, see which one is better for you. If they're both bad, get a grip like this. I know there is one out for the N3DS LL now, I'm not sure about the standard size. Other companies make good ones too, but the one I linked is the one I have and trust and it works really really well.

I actually have gone through three.

first I got the dreamgear and holding that one worked really well but i didn't like the material so much and it kept slipping off parts of the 3ds. plus it's also geared towards protection which I'm not too worried about so I returned that one

then I tried the cyber one which honestly felt the best overall to hold. I have pretty big hands and it just fit perfectly like an actual controller. But, for me at least the shoulder buttons were really hard to get to. The way my hands fit onto it, my fingers didn't rest on the shoulder buttons naturally, and trying to move them in the heat of the moment wasn't really working out.

so I returned that one, and picked up this one. I actually just got it today so I haven't gotten to try it out yet, but I've heard good things about it, and it seems like the best of both so here's hoping

I'm not sure if you've already made your decision, but I've been using this one for a couple months, and with the Smash demo all week. It's pretty good.

It feels just like holding a regular controller. The material is made of some kind of weird, hard, matte plastic, but at the same time feels slightly rubbery and grippy. Not overly so, though?

It's hard to explain, but it's a pretty nice feel.

I will say my hands aren't quite as big as yours, but they seem close enough in size that this would still be comfy to you.

Regardless, hope you find a grip that works for you!

I HIGHLY recommend getting this grip http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1411297699&sr=1-1&keywords=3ds+xl+grip+cyber . I live in Japan so it was only about 10 bucks here, but it's a night and day different, just feels like holding a game controller. Was getting bad hand cramps after about 20 minutes on the demo, picked that up with the full game and I can play comfortably as long as I like. Feels really sturdy, uncomplicated, takes all of 5 seconds to "install".

I heard that the rubber gets thin over time and is kinda squishy. I bought this one and it is amazing. Feels exactly like a controller, but is pretty much impossible to carry in your pocket while you are using it.

Also the comfort grip and the cyber grip are things I heard good things about. The last one might be Xl only btw...
Edit: Just found the hand grip as well, which seems to be a regular sized 3ds grip.
Edit 2: The Circle Pad Pro is the only thing I have expiernce with. It's great, but a little bulky. When you're lying in bed playing MH3U it'll get heavy eventually. But still, I'd recommend it.

http://www.amazon.com/DreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_img_y

is that perhaps what you are looking for?

or maybe even one that is even more like a normal controller.

Sorry, I meant to link you once I got on a computer.

I use this one ( I bought it on Amazon for ~$20 but the price has since skyrocketed. I'm sure other sites also sell this).

It definitely adds bulk and weight, but the grip/handle of it far outweighs the cons. Whenever I need to travel with my 3DS I just take it off.

I have not found a grip that allows access to the stylus, I have searched for hours on end. I use this one though and it is very comfortable http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_3/190-0992999-8062546?ie=UTF8&qid=1394578287&sr=8-3&keywords=3ds+xl+grip

I use the N3DS version of the Cyber Grips. This link is a older 3DS XL version

You're welcome! Apparently this one is less bulky.

Or you could just glue or screw the GameCube controller to your 3ds

Hey. I HIGHLY recommend this. I experienced hand cramps often with the 3ds XL and the NN3DS XL until I got this. If you like the feel of the PS4 controller then this should have that same familiar, comfortable feel.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I purchased this a couple months ago and love it! It's very comfortable! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008ZXBYJU/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1419577174&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

Looks good I ordered one so I hope I made a smart purchase.

I was gonna get this but i heard that access to the L & R buttons is bad.

Non-mobile link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/

And yeah, the only downsides are that the shoulder buttons are a little awkward and the stylus holder is blocked.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008ZXBYJU?vs=1#

I have this as well and is very comfortable. The ONLY complaint I have with it, is that it is difficult to use the shoulder buttons at times. So I only use it for slower paced games.

I bought these when they were much cheaper. I only paid $9.80 for them new. Sadly they're not in production anymore so that price has skyrocketed to $70.

> New 3DS XL cyber grip

Is this it?

What's the difference between the new Cyber one running ~40 and the one I used to see recommended often? Did they fix the trigger intrusion?

Finally getting into Smash and it's destroying my hands. Just need some grip.

I get asked this a lot. Short answer, don't worry about CPP. I get by just fine without it, hell I don't even use the digital D-pad. The L button is all I need. CPP is overrated as a primary imput. If you need camera controls, the C-stick will work just fine. A lot of people don't even know how to use it properly which is where all the complaints arise from.

I normally tell people to get a Wii U instead of a NN3DS if they already have a 3DS and if they don't have a 3DS, to get the NN3DS. But if your main issue is simply holding the system rather than being a matter of deciding what to buy, get a NN3DS and get one of these. http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU

I heard good things about em. Hope it helps.

Do you know if this one is compatible?

http://www.amazon.ca/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421622357&sr=8-1&keywords=cyber+grip+3ds

http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU

And the non-mobile link.

If you don't plan on playing the game that uses the CCP don't buy it, it's an ugly piece of plastic I find, it makes your 3DS way too bulky and ugly for my taste. Plus it requires batteries to function (that's so 2000 :P), I really don't like that add-on lol

I have this [one] (http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412688642&sr=8-1&keywords=3ds+xl+grip) and I freaking love it.

I would recommend this, or if you're looking to save money, this. There were some 3ds XL Trigger Grips on eBay, but it seems they no longer sell them.

I've been using this for a while. I personally find it a little annoying when you have to use the triggers, but it's much more comfortable to hold and a lot of people like it. It also blocks the stylus, but that shouldn't be a problem for Smash.

I use this (note I didn't buy it for that much)

As far as cramp relief it's great, but for the L, R, zL, and zR buttons it kind of digs into your hand. it's a minor inconvienience.

I did the same but I REALLY didnt like how far you had to move your fingers up to use the shoulder buttons. Heres the one I bought. I ended up buying some Poly clay and making it more comfortable to put your index fingers on the shoulders, middle fingers on the black original cyber grip part and your ring fingers on the molded portion.

Heres a picture of what I did - Bonus picture of my cat & Ike in his white alt color in SSB4

Sorry for the potato picture.

I basically molded it to my liking then baked it attached to the grip at a lower-than-recommended temperature (about 170-185 for over an hour. I placed it on a few wine bottle corks that were placed on top of a glass cooking container thing I turned upside-down.

Then I sanded a little bit and remembered I hate sanding poly clay so I stopped and now it is lumpy but comfortable.

I mean. Using the 3DS for an extended period of time hurts my hands anyways. The bumpers are hard to press while keeping it balanced in my hands.

Try something like this maybe? http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411396830&sr=8-1&keywords=3ds+xl+rubber+grip

I'm looking into buying the dreamGEAR Comfort Grip or CYBER grip but I'm not sure which one will suit me better. I have fairly long and skinny fingers, and while playing the demo I've found my right pinky finger taking a lot of strain. I need to look into both a bit further but I can let you know if I decide on one.
