    My daughter was wanting a second pair, and I picked these up, and she was elated. It's nice to have an extra set of Joy-Cons, especially when playing multiplayer games. I would buy them again.

    Having to buy them in pairs means its a little pricier then other consoles controllers but then again there's a lo of games now where each player needs only one joycons so it's still a great value

    Got this to add 2 more players for Switch games. Colors are cool. Haven't had any Joycon drift with these add-ons. Quality appears to be equal to the blue and red ones.

    Bought these as backups for my original pair of Joy-Con which began to have joystick drift. Nintendo's build quality on these isn't great, but you are stuck with them if you have an original Switch and want to play handheld. I feel they are a bit expensive too...but it is what it is.

    I bought the extra Joy-con wireless controllers so that my granddaughters can play with their friends. It’s a good idea to have extra controllers so that at least four players can play....and there will be no fighting.

    These were replacements for Joy-Cons that developed drift over the pandemic. So far so good but we're definitely hoping they don't develop the same problem soon.

    Mixed Review - Joy-Con misfunctioned w/in 2 weeks

    I have a mixed review of these Joy-Cons. On one hand, they are a great engineering concept (and obviously they're a necessity to use with the Switch). However, the only reason we bought these replacements is because one of the Joy-Cons on my son's Switch (which we just bought 6 months ago) began to malfunction. On his games, the joystick would just move in one direction. We tried blowing air into it, cleaning it, and recalibrating it. Finally, I figured it was time to take it apart and figure out what was wrong with it. However, Nintendo has some proprietary tri-screws on the back of these Joy-Cons, which I had no luck finding at Best Buy, Home Depot, MicroCenter, nor GameStop. Rather than ordering a screwdriver from Nintendo, I relinquished and bought these $70 replacements. Within 2 weeks, one of these Joy-Cons began to malfunction in the same manner, although not as bad (YET!). We have engrained into my son's head that if he ever breaks the Switch, there is no replacement. Hence, he is very careful with it and doesn't play rough, doesn't toss the controllers, doesn't spill drinks on them, etc. So I'm not really sure why this is occuring. Regardless, you can't really play the Switch without these controllers, so not much I can do. I'll probably eventually take one apart and see what's going on beneath the surface. Just be forewarned that this is the 2nd occurrence of this issue for us within 6 months. I already found the $70 price point to be a bit excessive for a game controller, so I will definitely not be buying a 3rd set and will have to deal with fixing these on my own.

    Nice extra controllers. We can now play Ring Fit Adventure without taking the controller off the switch!

    Love these!! I wanted the gray switch but at the time they were hard to come by, so I had to get the red/blue joycons. These made my dream switch!!

    I bought this as a gift and the recipient was overjoyed. She thought this color combination only came with a specific game. Thanks, those little things are important when trying to find perfect gifts.
