    Great replacement for my original unit. My kids absolutely pound the buttons so a replacement is necessary.

    Cute colors for the switch console. I had pre-ordered mine and they came on time. My kids love the neon colors. My daughter loves the pink. Great addition for color choices. Have had no issues as of yet. I still think the price is a little steep for controllers but then again its a lot cheaper to buy this than 2 separate ones.

    These aren't my favorite controllers, but they get the job done and they are unique to the system. I'm learning to use them, but I prefer the classic Nintendo 64 feel.

    These controllers were easy to swap out with my sons original controllers. They work well. He was happy to get a new color as well.

    Works exactly like the ones that came with the original and identical in quality, etc. being that it's from Nintendo. Just wish it wasn't so expensive but I'm also purchasing some third party controllers that are cheaper, but w/o some functionality like rumble for other game uses as well.

    The Joy-Con is a marvel of technology. These remotes are sturdy and responsive. Personally, I feel when you play with a singular controller, such as playing with a friend on Mario kart, the connection is weak, but unrelated to this specific product I bought. I gave 4/5 only because the box shows the Controllers seeming a little darker than they actually are. Granted, the box states neon green and pink, so I know what I was signing up for. But the image on the box shows a little more washed out of a color. Still amazing.

    Works as they should. none of them are built to last so be prepared to replace them at least yearly if the game is played often like my sons is.

    Good pair of joycons with no drift issues. The pink is pretty dark though, you'd think it was just red unless you have another red one next to it.

    I was deciding between an extra set of joycons or a pro controller, and settled on an extra pair of joycons to enable 2 extra players for multiplayer (mario kart, smash, etc.). This was the other set of colors at launch of the switch (other than gray), but there are other color options that may appeal to you.

    Not much to say other than they work and that having four joy-cons for the Switch is a must for couch co-op and multiplayer. Seems a bit spendy, but when you realize that a complete Wii controller (nunchuck and wii-mote) was a combined $40 and you realize that you're basically getting two full controllers, it isn't so bad.

    Bright, Smooth, and Quality! The brightness of the green really makes this my favorite pair of joycons! So far, while using it daily, it shows no signs of wear or any drifting.

    Open box joy cons at a great price, took a chance, 100% satisfied. Not a mark on them, work perfectly. Interestingly, the colors are switched from the ones that came with the console, so now i have paired colors!

    Bought to have 4 players for mario kart. They make a perfect pair for each of my kid's favorite colors. Like all Nintendo products, great quality. Buttons and analog controls are responsive and provide a pleasant click. They are, unfortunately, quite expensive.

    I bought these controllers in Used:Excellent condition online and that is exactly what I got! Excellent Joy-Cons! So happy with my purchase. They work great. Probably someone just didn't like the color choice when they opened the box and returned them! Happy I got a discount for buying them back from BestBuy for being used.
