    Had to get another set of joycons for ARMS so I could destroy my family members in this game. I did end up returning them to get the blue and red ones instead. Regardless, for multiplayer play, you need either the pro controller or another set of these for your switch.

    For the kids, they love it, pricey but great quality, zero issues any of our joy cons. But if you have issues, nintendo is fantastic about getting them fixed for you, even out of warranty.

    my original joy-con started to drift so i had to order replacement ones because it was very difficult to play any game with the all the drifting. These controllers feel just right and i'm glad they're back in stock.

    Controller still works great. Knock on wood, but still no stick drift. However, I’m not as hard on my joy con controllers as some others are, as I stick to my pro and GameCube style controllers to play games like smash

    My launch Switch joysons, after 4 years unfortunately started drifting. Both joycons were drifting pretty bad so I decided to buy these new ones and thankfully no drifting issues at all, so far.

    The Joy Cons have a good design, and they have many different ways you can use them comfortably. This pair, in particular, has a very nice color combo to it. Cosmo and Wanda. My only complaint is the price. $80 is just way too steep in my opinion. I realize that technically there are two controllers, but a lot of games require two joy cons.

    Classic JoyCons…red and the blue. Just wow. Not bad but you can find the Japanese or Hong Kong versions for 40-50 bucks on eBay.

    Very sturdy controllers which is good for my nieces and nephews who can get a bit careless with them. Also like the red and blue colors and will definitely be investing in a few different colors.

    I love my Switch, I didn't expect I would be accessorizing it, but I already bought the Blue ones and these Yellow Joycons are gorgeous. It gives a new look to the Switch, almost feels like it's a totally new device. These are so bright, and full of live haha.

    Not sure why, but the joycons we got last year stopped charging! Glad we had the protection plan, because these babies work great! And we actually got money back, didn't even need a box to return our old ones!

    Being new to the switch community I was weary to spend so much on controllers that may be so prone to problems but we needed another and made the jump. Seem to be working great so far, battery life is very good and no other problems.

    One of the things that's great about Nintendo is consitency. They're Nintendo made joycons - honestly it would be more surprising if there was actually problem with them. So far they've worked flawlessly.
