    These work great with the regular switch and the switch lite! I was also able to get them cheaper due to the price match guarantee! Cant go wrong with a good deal!

    Each joy-con by itself is kind of difficult to hold in my adult hands, but together in the grip they feel really good. Connecting is really easy (even when a battery is low and I swap them with the ones on the console). The only complaint I have is that the piece with the cord attached that you put on when you use the joy-cons separately (e.g. for Mario Kart) are difficult to remove.

    It’s a Controller

    Not much to say. It’s another controller. Works as it’s supposed to. I didn’t buy a separate charger. I just rotate the controllers and attach them to the Switch system.

    The best controllers of the best console. However, you will probably need to buy new ones every year, because this thing is not meant for lasting.

    They work as the originals did. Would’ve been better if I was buying it as a second set for more people to play than as a replacement for stick drift.

    The redish color on the box isnt the same as the actual controller color but from seeing other people same joycons they all look that way. Otherwise joycons work perfectly and come with the attachments.

    I end up having to buy a set of Joy-Cons. I’m really happy I did so. It is really worth it to get the 2 year warranty in case it starts to drift. Like my old controllers used to do.

    They work really well. They're pretty much like all of the other ones, but the extra controllers give you the ability to play with more people.

    joy con drift doesn't seem to be an issue 4 these!

    I own every color option for joy cons and these are so vibrant and nice to look at. Joy con drift for this particular set is not a problem BUT I always recommend the geek squad protection plan in case it does become an issue. I have a toddler who thinks these are toys she can submerge in water or chew on and they work perfectly fine despite all the damage she puts them through! (the red and blue joy cons could never survive that!)

    I like these Joy-cons much better than the ones that came with the Switch, The texture is much better which helps with the grip. The colors pop as well. I recommend getting these.

    Bought these to replace the stock Red/Blue ones that came with the switch. Absolutely love the colors but they start to do something called joycon drifting very easily. Would recommend looking into a grip with an inbuilt controller instead.
