    No issues! And the green is really cool! The pink doesn’t look much different than a few of the pink ones!

    I purchased these joy cons to replace the original ones that came with the switch. The original ones were starting to lag and became unresponsive even after resetting and following the recommended troubleshoot procedures m. Bought these and they work great as expected but who knows how long these will last.

    These are great extra controllers especially for the bigger family or for a lot of switch play so that way controllers can rotate getting charged.

    I know that not everyone is a fan of Nintendo's new controllers, but they are great for young kids. As usual, the Nintendo controllers are well made and the battery life is amazing.

    Joycons are inherently bad

    I love the colors. If you want to play any of the fun multiplayer and nintendo exclusive games, get the joycons. If you would rather have a better experience on any solo/first person game I recommend the holi-split pad (same price? And turbo mode). Joy cons make my forearms ache. If you have stressed and strained wrists from work, dont get joycons for single player handheld gaming. They also have less game hours on average in their life span than any main console controllers on the market (hundreds vs thousands).

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    These controllers are great, but prone to drift as they get older (usually caused by dust or debris). Always get the replacement plan when you buy them!

    Bought these to go with my then six-year-old's Nintendo Switch and he figured out how to pair them all by himself. We've been using them forever. Yay!

    Some family came into town and we needed more controls double fast! These came out of the box and hit the road running. Had fun and did not regret getting the extra controllers.

    It you don't get an extra set of joycons, you miss the point of owning a switch. It's greatest success is being a couch multiplayer console (though it's great for single and portable play too).

    kids needed extra controllers for their switch for when their friends come over. So far so good as they have been able to play games with their friends.

    These neon yellow Joycons are near impossible to find. They look great and made my Neon red/blue that came with the console now front pieces to my switch. Great for collectors and players alike.
