    Same Joy-Cons as come with the Switch (just different colors available) and they are necessary for multi-player games. They work just as well as the original Joy-Cons.

    They’re just controllers. No big deal. A little more expensive that other console controllers but they double up as 2 separate controllers for some games so it’s fine.

    Don't buy the aftermarket ones. Those don't work that well. These are great. Love having different colors so each kid has their own

    I feel like these controllers are the worst for any type of hand size especially if you plan on using it for a long time. I was only forced to buy this because the Joy-Cons that came with the Nintendo switch were malfunctioning and were doing that phantom movement or whatever's it's called. I'm sure the lifetime of these controllers will last a bit longer because I have been using my pro controller more than ever. I would only recommend buying this if you need extra remotes to play those multiplayer games. Otherwise, just buy the pro controller.

    Right color, right time. I only wish they didn't drift so soon into their life! But when they work they're fantastic.

    For everything I like about the Joycons there’s 3 things I dislike about them. Much like most of Nintendo’s other controllers they all have their quirks. Personally I feel they’re a little too expensive for what they are. I never thought they were the most comfortable things out there either. I don’t mind the a symmetrical design when it comes to full size controllers like the pro controller or even the Xbox controller but for these I feel like they’re just too clustered. With that said I can adapt to that and eventually look past it. What really bothers me is the build quality. I’ve gone through 2 pairs of joycons and I primarily use the system docked with the pro controller. The Joycons are prone for stick drift and for 70-80 dollars controllers not even lasting a couple years with light use is disgusting. The last pair I bought I wised up and purchased the protection plan so when these break ( which they will ) I’ll swap them out and buy another protection plan.
