    These are cool controllers but it was so hard to find. I got these on sale right before Black Friday, and they were totally worth it. I mean they are just like the ones that come with the Switch, so if you like those then these are the same. I guess go with the one that has the colors you like.

    The colors are very fun! I love my nintendo switch and the fact that these controllers can be used attached to the switch for portability and charging, and removed when we play on the TV. It's great for flexibility and you don't have to buy multiple types of controllers.

    Solid Replacements - A Bit Expensive

    I got these because I had destroyed my original Left joy-con when I was performing a case mod. These are great replacements. One complaint I have is the price. Nintendo should really lower the price on these. My only other complaint is that over time these joy-cons become loose and start to wiggle slightly off the console. This can be remedied by swapping out the plastic locks for metal ones. (This method required you to open up the controllers and swap them out DIY style) Otherwise, these work just like the originals. It was very easy to swap them out and get them connected.

    Had a lot of fun with these remotes. If yours stops working check with nintendo. I was able to get a replacement remote due to a known issue. I honestly don't know if it was with this set or with the set that came with the switch but nintendo did the right thing.

    I bought these to replace some drifters that I had. As controllers, they are great, and they get the job done. But quailty remains to be seen. To be fair, my originals didn't start drifting until about the 3 year mark. So if I can get 3 years out of these I will be happy. They are a little expensive for controllers, but are super easy to set up. Just slide them into the Switch and they are ready to go. Can't ask for anything easier to be honest.

    Not much to say besides they work great as normal joy-cons do. If you are worried about the colors, don't be, I personally think they look very cool for both male or female. It has that neon look to it which makes it pop with color but it is also not overwhelming to look at. They are well built too!

    Gives your Nintendo Switch a pop

    Yellow is my favorite color already, but even if it wasn't, it gives the Nintendo switch a really bright accent that I always get compliments on whenever I'm playing in public. The detail is awesome, even when you click the joy cons into your Nintendo switch, the color it clicks to is yellow.

    Purchased as a gift for my kids so that they can all play on the new Switch. These work fine, and come in vivid colors, which is nice for keeping track of which one is "theirs." No connectivity issues.

    Work great, expands the number of players we can have on Switch games, no issues in nearly a year. Only complaint is the cost, try to buy on sale if you can, for what you pay, Nintendo could at least include the controller body you can attach these to to use in the normal way (NON nun-chuck method).

    This joy on technology is awesome. The way you can use them in handheld, in separated hands and by putting them together in order to make a controller with the thingy that c ovo mes in the box with the system. It's all about what you like, this giving all sorts of controller options for the switch!

    Had drift with some previous joy cons. Having new joy cons are giving 100% first time player vibes again on my now 4 year old switch. Taking apart the old joy cons tonight to fix the drifting issue.
