    After having my switch for a couple of weeks decided it was necessary to drop the cash on more controllers. Easy to pair with the console and was great to use for more players or to just have extras charging.

    The original joycons that came with my Switch need to be replaced soon. The stick on my left joycon feels loose and the buttons on the right joycon don't respond all the time.

    If you have a switch and want to play any party games (MarioKart, anyone?) you've gotta have an extra set of Joy-Cons! Works great and pairs so effortlessly with the console which is a vast improvement over pairing Wiimotes with the Wii!

    Our Switch has been used frequently and the left controller was acting up. We could not find a replacement locally, and were fortunate to find replacements online. Thanks BestBuy.com

    Yes they are small but they are huge with innovation. If anything Nintendo makes some of the best controllers on the market, my NES controller still works perfect after all these years. I love the neon blue/red Joy-Cons, and so will you.

    Got this so that my boyfriend and I could play Smash Bros together. I have the black and gray switch, and these are TRULY neon. The color on the box seems a bit muted, but once you open the box they really are neon.

    Joycon review.

    Joycons are a little pricy, but if you're going for a good 4 player experience in Mario Kart or Smash they're a must buy if you only have 2 joycons. Build quality is pretty good, some of the features that make them pricy aren't always used, but they're controllers, and they work well.

    Not much to say here. Pretty pricey for controllers but that has always been the gaming manufacturer’s way of making money ever since wireless remotes came to market. They work as they should

    The Joy-Cons are essential at setting up your new Switch. These have always worked great for me and have never had any issues. I’ve been lucky to avoid any “drift”. Can’t complain!
