I like it! However, there are some tweaks you may want to consider (if you want some unsolicited feedback):

  1. Can you bring something over the shoulders that the top of the vita could slide into? The ergo grip I am using has them and I love it compared to the other ones. It really helps to keep the console steady. I have other grips that just clip around the sides and the vita constantly pops out.
  2. I'd love to see you integrate the buttons somehow. Trigger style buttons always seem to be nicer to me than the bumper style that the vita normally has. But that's totally personal preference.

    Otherwise, it looks AWESOME and I really love the stand you've included. Definitely great work! I wish I could find a mashup of your grip and the one I'm currently using because they both have things I want :)

I tried this one and hated it:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073ESZ58/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But then I bought this one and it is amazing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072A4JVW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm sure if you search on Amazon you'll find the same one for the same price I got it (around $10).

Look for ones that expand the trigger grips and don't block the charger.

u/the_moonface · 3 pointsr/PS4

You can rotate games so I wouldn't worry about a bigger memory card but I highly recommend getting trigger grips as the bumpers are awful. It'd also be nice if Sony created a good L1/L2/R1/R2 solution. Here's the one I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0072A4JVW?cache=ffe6f2a6f31e0c1ba6336eea7769d2a1&pi=SX200_QL40&qid=1404337399&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

u/myhumps3 · 3 pointsr/vita

The screens are the same dimensions so the 2000 screen protectors will work fine.

And I have this trigger grip which works great for extended play sessions.

u/Metroidam11 · 3 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Honestly, I think we'll see a third party manufacturer make exactly what you said: a holder with palm grips and comfortable shoulder buttons.

I tried something like this for the PS Vita and it felt so good. https://www.amazon.com/PDP-PSVita-Trigger-Grips/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1488120601&sr=8-4&keywords=ps+vita+grip

u/Saibaka · 3 pointsr/vita

I own these and while they are comfy the L trigger feels squishy. Tried out the Nyko one without the battery pack and it felt to big for my hands.

I am going to jump to the $5 one myself.

u/tehace · 3 pointsr/gaming

Wow those grips look better than mines! What are they called and where do you get them?. My main problem with the PDP grips is that the triggers aren't easier to press.

u/Bapz05 · 3 pointsr/vita

depends on the grips you get these are ok i used them for a while

then i got these and they are so much more comfortable and the triggers feel softer and easier to pull

u/GJBM · 2 pointsr/vita

I really like the PDP Grips. You might be able to find them cheaper on eBay or elsewhere. Lately, I've considered upgrading to the Nyko Power Grip though. They seem bulky, but I've heard they're great.

u/nerdism · 2 pointsr/vita

you can still find it on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072A4JVW

u/Darkenedsilence · 2 pointsr/playstation

If I'm at home it has very low latency which is good, even the aiming is somewhat accurate (better then I'd expect). Because my hands are leaner than I'd say yours (according to your disclaimer ) its not too bad, no where near as good as the ds4, also the controls are mapped as l2 and r2 are the left and right of the back touchpad and l3 and r3 are the two bottoms corners so it makes it somewhat easier to handle then say having all the buttons mapped to the back (example being battlefield 4) all in all its great for bed side gaming I'd say, also there are grips like these that make it easier to hold

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/vita

Ouch, why would I do $20 shipped for a used one when I can get a new one for $15 shipped from the link you gave in the post

u/_deffer_ · 2 pointsr/gameswap

Here is the grip I have.

u/Syvandrius · 2 pointsr/vita

I'm glad I could be of help! I love my Vita and I couldn't be happier to help someone else decide if they want one of their own.

FPS have been really hit or miss depending on your play style. For instance the Black ops declassified campaign was really poor. It was basically a bunch of time trials strung together. However I had a really good time with the horde mode the game offers and drop back in to it every now and again when I have a few minutes to spare.

I've been hearing really good things about Killzone mercenary so much so in fact that I'm starting to believe that this game could end up being a heavy system seller.

Here's a gameplay trailer

For the record I also enjoy the single player campaign to these games, they come off as corny action movies. Which is the best thing ever.

Can you elaborate on the rear touchpad? What is it made for? Will it get in the way of me trying to play the games I've purchased?

The rear touch pad adds a significant amount of interaction to many Vita titles. For instance Little big planet Vita allows you to interact with some objects in the environment in different ways. It also functions as the L-2 and R-2 buttons for PS2 titles. Many games don't bother with it's use what so ever however, so it's kind of hit or miss.

The difficulty you'll have with it really depends on the size of your hands, as a giant handed monstrosity I have some issues with it personally. Getting some grips for your Vita well help out quite a bit if you're a fellow monstrosity.

These trigger grips help a bunch

Lastly, I'm guessing that I can DL games from PS+ while I'm on my home wifi. Is that correct, or is there a specific cable that I need to DL games from PS+ directly to the Vita?

You can indeed download games via wifi quite easily with the Vita, while also being able to transfer them to either cloud storage or your PC to save space when not playing them. Additionally the the AC adapter doubles as a USB cord to plug the system into your PC for easy transfers and whatnot. It's good stuff.

I hope this helped! And don't worry about asking questions, we're a pretty helpful community overall! :D

*Edit: So many typos -_-



u/Rezatron · 2 pointsr/spelunky

You echo my impressions. The slow down is similar (but not as bad) to what happens on my 2009 Macbook Pro. This was fixed on PC by being able to disable full screen effects. Still it's disappointing to see it on Vita and with no options to turn off full screen effects here. One might even argue that ghosting is easier with the slight lag. However the "dead are restless" levels are much worse and the "wet fur" levels have this issue as well.

Regarding point #3, you can buy external attachments for the Vita. This model which I use has PS3/360 style triggers and makes prolonged gaming periods tolerable. Something like this will be even better although it's missing the faux triggers of the first model.

u/cjkeats · 2 pointsr/vita

I find it is a little. I got the Trigger Grip and for games where you use the sticks more it's okay, but the grip part isn't as long as I'd like it to be.

u/diversionmary · 2 pointsr/vita

So far I bought:

PDP trigger grips

An adapter so I can char be via any USB charger

Sony screen protective film

Kinda ridiculous that they purposely disabled the ability to charge via any USB charger.

u/sweetcuppingcakes · 2 pointsr/vita

I went through this same dilemma recently, and ended up with two different grips.

First I bought the PDP because it seemed to be the most "dual shock" like. It's pretty expensive, so I bought one used off eBay. It came smelling like cigarettes, but after leaving it in a bowl of warm dishsoap for an hour it was good as new. However, the shoulder triggers are terrible. Very spongey and they are prone to getting stuck at times. Plus they make an awful squeaky crunching sound that made it hard to play at night without waking up my SO. A lot of other people had this problem online, so I tried a few different solutions I found. I took out the top screws to make the case looser, which didn't make much of a difference. Later I used some WD-40 on the triggers which made a tiny difference, but not enough.

I decided I was done with the stupid thing and about a week ago I ordered the Dreamgear Comfort Grip off Amazon. It doesn't feel as much like a dual shock, but it is waaaay better than the stupid overpriced PDP in every other aspect. Going from the PDP to the Dreamgear was like taking gloves made of cement off my hands. I recommend the DG 100%.

u/DronesWorkHard · 2 pointsr/vita

Wish i would have seen this a week ago
I bought the trigger grips, the nyko power grips and the nyko clones (no power) i think ct or something.

I threw the trigger grips in the trash (only paid $6 for them)

The nyko battery died but its by far the most comfortable. good luck

p.s. the triggers on the pdp suck and are not an improvement over the regular vita triggers imho. I play a lot of destiny. YMMV with other games

u/MzTredecim · 2 pointsr/vita

I have both the Nyko Power Grip and the PDP Trigger Grip and I really like them both. I've found the Nyko is just a little more comfortable for me and I love the extra battery life but having the extended triggers on the PDP grip is useful at times. Either grip is definitely better than no grip. I'm a girl but 6ft and apparently my hands are just too large to play without them.

EDIT: The Nyko Power grip can be picked up in the wild for cheaper than that amazon link. I just put it up for reference. If you don't care about the extra battery life also check out the CTA Grip.

u/clee290 · 2 pointsr/vita

There's the Nyko Power Grip which has an external battery to "double" the Vita's battery life.

There is also the PDP Trigger Grip which uses triggers to push your Vita's shoulder buttons.


There are also a variety of plain grips which don't really add any functionality other than the grip.

As for case that can fit a Vita with a grip, I've heard of people using iPad Mini cases, such as this. Also this case on Amazon has been recommended. Here is a picture: click.

u/Matriss · 2 pointsr/vita

FWIW I play my Vita way more often since I got these. The Vita by itself makes my hands cramp up because of awkward finger placements and the handles help so much.

But also yes, PS+ is pretty rad and even if you decide to get rid of your Vita you'll still get the games for PS3.

u/daigoro06 · 2 pointsr/vita

hey thanks! yes they are super comfy. these are the ones i have

u/Artcankill · 2 pointsr/vita

I bought the PS one. Fits it just fine.

dock

As long as the handles aren't bigger then grips , you should be fine.

That's the exact one I have but I didn't pay $50 for it. I don't know why it's listed at such a high price now. I paid like $20 for it.

u/MorphineBear · 1 pointr/vita
  1. Not all PS1 games are on PSN (NA doesn't have spyro, or crash bandicoot).
  2. Not all PSP games are on PSN either (as far as I know).
  3. (Personal opinion) I don't think getting PS+ is worth it if you only have a Vita. If you have a PS3/PS4 to go along with it, heck yes.
  4. I have one of the grips, this, and it honestly isn't too useful. The "L/R" triggers don't hit in the right spot so it takes some effort to push in. So it's not a must.
  5. Persona 4: Golden seems to be a big choice in this sub.
  6. I would recommend getting the 16GB if you're only playing PS1 games. If you download a lot of "this-year" games, then look to get a 32GB or 64GB. Most games now are about 2-4GBish and they stack up quickly. I have a 16GB since I tend to buy more physical copies than digital.
u/Damnitbennett · 1 pointr/PS4

It's actually funny, as I had bought one when they first launched. Played the Uncharted game... and that was about it. Well, until Destiny that is. I've logged a ton of hours of Destiny on my Vita. My girlfriend isn't to fond of gaming, and me sitting in front of the TV in another room all night. So I usually will end my night running strikes or farming for materials laying in bed while shes watching some reality shows or something lol. Totally worth it. Although, you will want to get one of these for it. hope this helps. (make sure you buy the right set of triggers for your model. This link is to the ones for the original PS VITA.

u/LVShadehunter · 1 pointr/vita

Here's the same trigger case on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072A4JVW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That's for the OLED version, I believe they make a version for the Slim as well.

It doesn't have the extra battery life, but it turns the shoulder buttons into triggers and the price is right.

u/Relevant_Scrubs_link · 1 pointr/vita

It wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in these. It feels waaaaaaaay better to play with trigger grips!

u/0ut1awed · 1 pointr/hardwareswap

Let me preface this by saying I'm not local as I live on the coast of NC so take it as you will.

I actually just got finished wiring my house with CAT5 and setup a server closet with an enterprise router/switch/firewall/AP. Fist and foremost for experience as I'm going for Cisco certs currently. Now I really need a server or two to interface with within the network and looking for options because most of my budget has been blown.

I have a Vita that I was just thinking the other day that I needed to sell as I barley even game on the PC anymore. It's a first gen but the OLED is sooo much better looking than the LCD. I was planning on selling it along with my account so I could transfer over the 25+ PS+ games I've acquired on it. It has a 32GB card and I have a soft padded carrying case for it along with this trigger grip. I also have a $20 PSN card I'll throw in too but you'll probably need to use $10 of it to reactivate the PS+ membership as it's currently expired.

If you're interested, lmk so I can list off all the games I've purchased along with the PS+ ones. Sadly everything is linked to my account as it's all been digitally purchased outside the physical copy of Killzone Mercenary.

u/Evolved_Messiah · 1 pointr/vita

I wish that and this could make an amazing baby. That being said, the triggers on mine(the PDP) could use a little work.

u/Xylobe · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I don't think I've been gifted by you, but at this point I'm honestly not sure.

Assuming I haven't (and that its price is considered 'reasonable'), this Vita grip would be fantastic.

u/Banelingz · 1 pointr/vita

Ya, the LR and L2R2 ones are generally much more robust and cost much more.

Here's one of the best:

Have you tested remote play over the internet yet? Some people don't realize the upload speed required. (at least 2mb/s upload is OK, 5mb/s is recommended i guess)

To run you press the down arrow ..

Otherwise - I use mine all the time.. and honestly the only issue is with aiming. The analog sticks are not nearly as good as the dualshock 4. I added a grip to mine shortly after I got it which helps and there are some analog grips you can try that might help.

Also the sound can get out of sync pretty easy..

u/Reikon85 · 1 pointr/vita

I got the PDP grip and totally recommend it. It's very hard to find and I only managed to get one off of eBay.

It adds just enough grip to the Vita to make it easier to hold for long periods of time but it's very thin and weights practically nothing. Very solid build, and fits perfectly (doesn't budge or anything). The grips are ok. Nothing outstanding, but work well and are pretty responsive.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with it. A pain in the ass to find one outside of the US, but other than that...

u/MrSarcastic69 · 1 pointr/DestinyTheGame

I posted this in a different thread about the vita. I got a vita a few weeks ago for Destiny. Absolutely worth the purchase. If you are looking for a good grip to go with the vita, check this one out. This grip makes it feel kind of like the dualshock controller. Definitely makes it easy to hold and play. Also, in order to get mine to connect I had to update some of the ports in my router for the PS4. You can find the guide here. You just find your router on that page and then follow the instructions. Very simple.

u/Spanko321123 · 1 pointr/vita

I have heard that depending on which brand and production run you can get a wide variety on the quality of the Insten type grips.

I have the PDP grip (https://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW) too. It certainly holds the vita secure but over time I grew to like the trigger action less and less. I came to believe that the trigger action felt a tad sloppy and it didn't necessarily recognize each trigger pull. I tried using the Vita with and without the triggers during Killzone and I noticed I just performed better using the Vita's natural shoulder buttons. Still believe it come down to preference.

Possibly the only grip I haven't purchased is the one that adds buttons. I would love to try one of the Hori L2/R2 grips but they are so expensive ($80) I doubt I will ever get one.

u/ImPolish · 1 pointr/MonsterHunterWorld

I have these but I honestly have NO idea why they're so expensive on amazon haha.

u/Climbtay1 · 1 pointr/vita

I had some left over credit and ended up buying these grips for my Vita on a whim. I couldnt be more happy with them and notice that it makes longer gaming sessions much more comfortable. :)

u/JackBauersGhost · 1 pointr/PS4

Have you tried the PDP Trigger Grip? I bought it and it's not very comfortable, so I've been thinking about the Nyko One.

u/LogicalFlakes · 1 pointr/vita

How big are your hands?

Edit: Eh. I'll just throw the cheapest two grips I know of and have used. These grips are for the 1000 model.

PDP Trigger Grip is the only trigger grip that I know of that works well. Good for big hands and small hands. Medium hands... not so much.

CTA Grip is the best non trigger grip for your money. It does what the Nyko Grip does at a cheaper price and... that's all there is to it. It's a grip. The other alternative to this is the Japanese Assist Grip and the Nyko Vita Grip. Great for any size hands.

u/Holy_Shit_Snacks · 1 pointr/DestinyTheGame

If you get one make sure to get these grips for it, so much more comfortable to play on.

I like it for light solo missions, bounty farming, etc. It is excellent for mobile casual play. I prefer to stick to my PS4 and dualshock for major missions (Nightfall, Weekly Heroic, VoG where things get really intense) and PVP.

u/Robzter117 · 1 pointr/vita

u/MerryDingoes · 1 pointr/vita

It's not grippy, unfortunately. It doesn't feel bulky to me, but maybe it does to you. If you want something with better grip, I suggest looking into something that has triggers: https://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=vita+trigger&qid=1566493161&s=gateway&sr=8-6

Is this what you're looking for? I bought my original vita off eBay years ago and it came with one like this but mine has no label or markings to indicate a brand or model. I've actually never played my vita without it. It seems weird at first but I feel like it's much more normal feeling and feels more like a controller to me.

u/mrmikedude100 · 1 pointr/vita

That's wicked cool! I think I might jump for that one.
