First of all, thank you Love to play computer games Trial and HandJoy provided this trial product, namely HandJpy nPro Bluetooth wireless handle.

Although they are not professional gamers, they have played games for a long time, PC、 Home computers and handheld computers have also been contacted. Compared with the other two platforms, handheld computers have limited functions, and their images, sound effects, and content are often inferior. On the other hand, for the sake of portability, their operability is relatively limited. Under various restrictions, when smart phones led by the iPhone rise, handheld computers gradually decline. Sony has said that it will not launch new handheld computers, Nintendo's 3DS series is also struggling, and various developers have also turned their attention to the mobile phone platform. Compared with the mobile phone, the performance of the mobile phone is much better. It has a better CPU, a better screen, and a larger battery. The mobile phone can't lift its head. However, the mobile phone has one major disadvantage, that is, it has no physical buttons that can be touched. Players can only complete the operation through the virtual buttons on the touch screen, and the feel is completely different from that of the mobile phone. In order to make up for the operating defects of the mobile phone, the Bluetooth wireless handle has appeared. Today I want to experience HandJpy nPro, which is one of the Bluetooth handles.

Let's take a look at the packaging first. The packaging of nPro is very simple. There is a line diagram of the product on the carton, but this diagram is not 1:1 scale with the real object. The handle is actually smaller than this diagram.

After opening the box, you can see the real nPro. There is a layer of plastic film on the body to prevent scratches during transportation.

A photo of the whole family, including a charging cable with a micro USB interface, and a flannelette storage bag. This storage bag has a compartment, which can place the handle on one side and other sundries on the other side.

The handle does not use the common paint baking process on low-end products, but the sanding process. I want to give a good comment on this. On the one hand, the paint film of the paint baking is very easy to scratch, which is very ugly after a long time of use. On the other hand, the sanding shell can also increase friction and make it more stable in the hand.

Turn to the back of the handle, you can see two large pieces of anti slip adhesive, but the actual effect is average, the texture is hard, and the feel is not very good. Scan the QR code on the left side to download the official platform, and list some basic parameters on the right side. It can be seen that the battery is only 500mah, which is not outstanding among similar products and belongs to the average level.

A micro USB interface and a sliding switch can be seen below the handle. Sliding left is Apple mode, and sliding right is Android mode. The measured micro USB interface can only be charged without data transmission, but this is not a defect, because the firmware upgrade of the handle is not achieved by connecting the computer.

The device update option can be found in the official platform settings, so the firmware upgrade is carried out through Bluetooth transmission. However, my handle is the latest firmware when I get it, so I can't test this function.

The soft glue design is used where the handle clamps the phone, which can avoid scratches on the phone and also make the phone clamp more secure. This is a good place. Another small detail is that when the handle is fully opened, there is an engraved HandJoy logo on the bottom plate. Because the sliding part does not have a locking mechanism, no photo is taken.

The hardware architecture of nPro adopts a relatively mature scheme. The low-power Bluetooth 4.0 link, 32-bit master chip, and the key layout is xbox, which is more friendly to FPS games. The left cross key is the same as the PS4, which has a better feel and life. The cross key is also one of the main improvements of nPro compared with the previous generation of products. The other two rockers are linear rockers with many levels, which is a good news for players with micro operation requirements.

The platform provides a hardware test program to facilitate players to self check the handle. I also found that the rocker is linear here.

One big difference between HandJoy nPro and other handles is the way to fix the phone. Most handles on the market use brackets to fix the phone. Some do not even have their own brackets, so they need to be purchased separately. nPro is very innovative. It is a complete handle when it is stored, and the handle can be pulled from the middle when playing games. In this way, the phone can be fixed in two ways, horizontally or vertically. Maybe a friend wants to ask, what's the use of vertical clip? Then go and play the NDS simulator. After playing, you will know how good the vertical clip is. Of course, this fixing method also brings some problems. If your phone's headphone connector is on the upper and lower sides, you can't plug in the headphone when you use nPro, while most of the current phone headphone connectors are on the upper and lower sides... Of course, there is no solution to this problem. If you buy a Bluetooth headset, all the problems will be solved.

In terms of hardware, nPro does not appear to be too outstanding, so can the software make nPro stand out? The answer is yes. nPro not only provides a relatively good software platform, but also maintains technical support for products.

This is the main interface of the software platform. It can be seen that nPro supports the current popular WeChat games and other online games. HID games (games whose key values are defined by game manufacturers) also support many, and many kinds of simulators also support nPro. It should be mentioned here that compared with the software platform provided by some handles, the simulator version is rarely updated, while HandJoy is relatively active in updating the simulator, which can optimize the running efficiency of the simulator and greatly increase the playability.

We can see that there are also many popular games, including APK HID arcade PSPs and other types, which facilitate the selection of difficult friends, as well as the popular mobile game Ju Bang, which is very good.

I have tried all kinds of games. I won't elaborate on the process, but I will draw a conclusion. NPro's support for simulators can be said to be perfect, and it has a good experience in various simulators. The support of APK is average. Some games can be adapted, while others are not. HID games are my biggest headache. Because the key values of HID games are set by the game developer, some games will have key strings, which will greatly affect the experience. However, players cannot change the settings of this game, but there is no way to do it. The fault is not in the controller. In addition, although it is said in the propaganda that root permission (Android) is not required, there is still a certain dependence on root permission. However, some mobile phones cannot be rooted. For example, my Samsung S7 will have many problems after being rooted. What should I do in this situation? Don't worry, HandJoy's powerful technical support ability has been brought into play here. They have developed a special root free program, so that you can use the handle function completely even if you don't have root.

I have benefited a lot from this function when playing CF for mobile phones. Handjoy has specially modified the CF client, which can also apply key mapping without root. When playing CF, the accuracy and pleasure brought by using the handle operation is far beyond the touch screen operation. I have made many achievements such as supernatural, butcher, counterattack, and so on, all thanks to nPro. At the same time, there is a special King Glory client, but I haven't played this game, so I haven't tested it.

In conclusion, HandJoy nPro is not very brilliant in hardware, but its excellent software support makes it stand out in similar products. The officially developed root free tool greatly improves the practicality of the handle. However, there are also various problems, such as the slight delay of Bluetooth, which is quite sensitive in racing games, and the adaptation of some games is still not in place. At the same time, whether this kind of pull design will affect the service life, this problem may not appear in the short trial, but it is hard to say if it will be used for a long time. To sum up, HandJoy nPro is a good Bluetooth wireless handle, but it is only limited to the Bluetooth wireless handle. It is still a long way from a truly perfect product.
