    Needed more joy cons to play Mario Kart. Got the colored items and my kids love em. Work great, just like the original grey joy cons.

    Yellow is my daughter's favorite color so this worked out perfectly. The controllers paired instantly and work perfectly with the Switch.

    Of all the joy-cons I've seen, these are my favorite. They feel pretty much identical to others, including the ones in the box, but the color is great! It goes very well with the Switch console. Pairing with the main console was simple, easy, and quick, and all of the controls work excellently. Build quality is also great, with all of the buttons and whatnot having a quality feel. They're a little expensive, but they're a great investment!

    These controllers are awesome. The watermelon color scheme is what sold me, they work just like every other pair of joy cons.

    Great controllers and the kids love them when paired with games like bowling or other sport type games. They are sturdy and charge fairly quickly. They were easy to pair to the Nintendo Switch

    The Joy-Cons are smaller than I would like, but that doesn't mean they aren't comfortable. These colors also pop really well. Love it.

    Joy cons are great but absurdly expensive

    I love the idea of the Joy Cons and the fun variety of colors they offer them in, but even on sale it’s absurdly expensive. They are nearly 1/3 of the price of a new Switch. Otherwise, I very much like the feel of them.

    Love it! Have the neon joy cons that came with the Switch, so it was nice to get the gray also. Came in very handy when playing 4 player MK8.

    You need em but they should do better

    These joysticks start getting drift and becoming non responsive way faster than any other controllers I’ve had from different consoles. Playing crash bandicoot is difficult because I don’t feel they are as sensitive as PS4 controllers. For the price point, it seems like we are getting ripped off here. The only good thing is that you can send them in for repair which Nintendo does very quickly in my opinion. I like that they offer some fun colors in these and that they are very easy to use. I do wish they made bigger ones. I’m pretty small (5’2) and sometimes my hands cramp up I’ve I’m playing animal crossing for too many hours. Overall, I’ve owned a switch for almost 5 years and I’ve gone through 3 pairs and had them repaired through Nintendo. This is my fourth pair so we’ll see how long it lasts before needing repair. Each pair I’ve purchased previously has ended up with drift issues. You’ll need these controllers because you can’t play your switch without them but they’re not great and I wish Nintendo would release something way better but oh well.

    No Compatibility Issues

    Because these are both right and left original replacement joy-cons by Nintendo there is no compatibility issue when using to replace broken joy-cons and the Switch can be used immediately. However, the joy-cons do break fairly easily if dropped on a hard surface and this can happen to anyone. I think they could, and should, be made a little more rugged but I guess this is one of the ways the Nintendo makes their money. If you purchase this set to replace one broken joy-con, if the other one breaks, you have a spare. I'm not crazy about the price as well.

    These work great and we have had no issues since purchasing them in March 2021 (it is now November 2023). I recommend genuine Nintendo products over third party - they always seem to last longer and just generally be better.

    An extra set of controllers is definitely a need if you are wanting to play with more than two people or have games that require two and you want to play with someone else. I have enjoyed playing with friends and family which wouldn’t be possible without these controllers!
