    Birthday gift for our grandson. He couldn't be happier with them. He says they work every bit as good as the originals.

    Good but on the pricey side

    The colors of the joy cons are nice even if it will bug you if you want matching colors but good quality and feel. The only problem is that they are quite pricey so I would buy them if you really want to play on the same switch with multiple people or you can find them a bit cheaper on sale.

    Classic gray look, the texture is great and this color doesn't show the small amount of grease that may build up, highly recommend this Joy Con

    What can I say, they are extra controllers for your switch. If you plan on having parties and friends over, i recommend buying another set for fun with family and friends.

    Be wary of JoyCon drift...I bought switch in 2017 with a 2nd pair of JoyCons day one...had to send all four back to Nintendo for fix once Mario Kart 8 came out and We saw how much the stick would drift left and right...

    These are exactly like the ones that come with the Switch Console. So if you need an extra pair for playing with a friend they are exactly what you’ll need.

    If you get a switch, you will need some extra controllers for family play. These worked great. It's good to have some extra colors (though not necessary).

    Great controllers takes getting used to the small size. The only thing is the batteries are not replaceable.

    My 5th pair of controllers since the release of the switch. Joysticks do not feel very high quality.

    I’m not sure if I prefer these or the pro controller. The 3-D rumble is a nice feature. Also the fact that they can be used individually for quick local multiplayer games is very cool!

    I love that you can buy different color Joy Con to change up the colors. I got the neon Switch and wanted the opposite colors if I wanted to have red red or blue blue as other play options.

    It's just a pair of colored Joycons

    They're a really nice color. I really only recommend you getting any extra joycons IF you actually have the extra people to play with or are always around friends and family to share the switch experience with. Otherwise they're way over priced for being controllers and they're just a diff color.. Nothing special..

    Nintendo remotes spare

    Have had the remotes since Sept., however, I'm currently experiencing issues with the buttons getting stuck. For example, while my son is playing Mario his player starts moving without him touching any buttons. Has happened to two remotes already. Expected them to last a little longer!

    Making it a vastly different color makes this purchase great as a second controller. Only downside is this should have been included with the console purchase as a second controller!
