    I bought these joy-cons for my 8 year old as the original ones that came with his switch were acting up. He is a fan of Splatoon 2 so I thought they would be perfect! He loves the colors and always comments on how he likes the way they feel when he holds them!

    Pick these up as a Christmas gift for my kids switch I bought them extra controllers come in handy for games such as Arms and Mario Kart. Not much else to say other than that they work well. A little too small for my hands but I'm getting used to it and a bit pricey for what they are otherwise pretty good product.

    Bought my first Switch which was the Oled model. I needed extra Joycons to play with my family. Always loved the way the blue and red Joycons looked. Classic switch colors. They work great! I will be buying more.

    I purchased this to add to our other controllers to play Mario party with our family. They were easy to pair and now my kids prefer these over their other controllers. Like all other Nintendo gear, they are well made and easy to use. Great Product.

    We have 5 kids and wanted to add some controllers so they can play more of the games together. These work perfectly and we love that you can add them together. We chose to get the multicolored ones so when you add them with the two that came with the system you can have one full blue one and one full red one!

    My other controllers got worn out and made my charater run with out my hands on the controller. So they do wear out after like 80 hours of play, but I love my fun colored ones so I can tell the difference in which one is broken

    Quality controllers. I love having this extra pair while I have my other ones charging on the console. They also make playing games in bed comfortable when they are detached. Innovative for people like me that can't stop playing even when they're trying to go to sleep.

    Good color combo, works well. We usually have to upgrade every couple years due to use, I’d say good value !

    Left joycon not working

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Ugh Either I have awful luck or Nintendo has awful manufacturing because I has issues with the left joycon 3x in a row ! Seriously! The left joycon doesn't hold sync with Switch and inputs would be wrong . I returned it and I had the same issue with the next version. I had this issue with my launch system left joycon and had to call nintendo to fix it . That's what I did here , and they fixed it and shipped it back to me free of charge . Call 1-800-255-3700 if the controller feels to de sync and occasionally inputs are off . That being said once they do work it's nice . The HD rumble is a nice feature and more advanced motion controls work nicely . I miss a D pad but I do like you can play games with a single joycon. Now that I have 4 working joycon , I will never buy another set . Grey color looks adult and overall it's not bad . I wish it was cheaper but being able to split up and play 4 player with 2 joycon sets is nice . Battery life is fantastic. So yeah the issue with left joycon is a serious issue so that should give you caution. Maybe it's been resolved in newest controllers but still something to think about .

    The switch is booming this past year, and I love it. What else do I love with it? Joy-cons. These are such cool controllers and I love variety of colors in my products. The green and pink really pop and are so vibrant. As for how well they work, just like any other Nintendo product, nearly perfect.

    Bought these joycons so that the whole family could play together. We are enjoying the multiplayer Party games, and now we can play 4 at a time. They were very easy to sync with the switch. My son has even synced them to his switch lite for multiplayer fun
