Topic: Binbok Joy-Cons, standard or slim?

Hello everyone,

After hours and hours of playing handheld on Switch, even with the Skull&Co grip, I have decided I need an improvement, because games that require precision inputs such as Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, and SSBU, are even more challenging and infuriating to play with the Joy-Cons.

After doing some research, I have decided to try the Binbok Joy-Cons, for which I have read mostly good things, even though their quality seems to have large variations, ranging from great to terrible, with all kinds of defects from time to time.

In addition, the new slim model looks very nice, as it fits like a glove when attached onto the Switch, and it doesn't feel like you are holding something unnaturally bulky for a handheld, like Hori's splitpad pro feels.

So, between the regular Binbok Joy-Cons and the slim variant, I have some questions to which I haven't found the answer to anywhere:

1. The thumb sticks of the slim version are smaller than the standard version, does this make them uncomfortable like the official Joy-cons, or are they serviceable?

2. Is the slim version bulky enough to provide a comfortable handheld gaming experience for a male adult with large hands?

3. In general, for anyone that has tried both, the standard and the slim version, which of the two versions do you prefer and why?

Maybe @Jaxon can chip in here with an opinion here? Reading some of the other threads on here they seem to be a fan of the Binbok's.
I've been pretty tempted myself, but had only just bought a Hori split pad when I first heard about them so will have to wait for now.
