    A Must Have

    An extra set of Joy-Cons is a must have. I highly recommend buying them. Many of the games allow 2 to 8 players. If your playing alone & your Joy-Cons need 2 B charged... you'll have the extra set to continue on playing.

    Needed extra remotes. Perfect like the ones that came with the game console. I recommend to buy a multi-controller charging station to have all controllers charge at the same time.

    Original Switch Joycons. I do not trust after market joy Cons. However, I am worried about joystick drift with these controllers. Be sure to pick up the extended warranty.

    Not sure what to say about these other than they do everything advertised. Personally I like the pro controller better however I'm not buying 4 of them to play Mario Cart.

    I bought the console with grey controllers, and decided I wanted another set to play with more friends and I love that I can have my grey, or mix them and use the grey and pink, or gray and blue and it looks cool.

    Rushed to the store to pickup the extra Joy-Con controllers on New Year's Day so we could enjoy MarioKart 4 player free-for-all. Took them out of the box as soon as we got em home and they've been working great so far!

    I've had a Switch since the day that it came out -- if you are wondering, you absolutely should get new joycons every now and then. Great replacement for my originals.

    This purchased added an additional 'wow' factor to an already great family activity. No problem with the wireless use. Value added with ability to compete with others or, better yet, adds the ability to cooperate with others.

    Joy-Con Controller

    So this controller is great especially for those kids hands. As an adult with large hands this controller sometimes feels too small but that is a preference issue. I will probably purchase the Pro Controller for myself.

    These are pretty pricey for just a couple of controllers. The main benefit is you do get 2 controllers for spending a little more than you would for other consoles. They're small for adult hands, but are fine for kids which is the main target audience anyway. The removable expanders don't help too much and are somewhat wobbly until they snap in. They also stick when trying to remove them in a way that makes me feel like I'm going to break them even though I'm depressing the release button on the back, which is also in a terrible position since it's hard to avoid hitting other buttons when pressing the release. The build quality is questionable since after a few weeks of moderate to low use, the green controller already started having joystick drift. This can be fixed but it's annoying for it to happen so soon. Overall just okay for occasionally enabling 2 more people to play Mario Kart or Smash Bros.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
