    These cost way too much, but what ya gonna do. They never last long and seem to need to replace them once a year. The knock off ones cost less but do not work well.

    I know that some people aren’t games of the joy cons, but I love them. Whether you’re playing by yourself or with a friend for some games that option is tight. I’m glad Nintendo is not stagnant with controllers. Sure the Xbox or ps4 controllers are good, but sometimes some bit of experimentation is necessary!

    I bought a 3rd party controller to play with my little brother but when I tried playing with his original Nintendo controllers I realized nothing compares to how the original handles. So I had to get myself a pair. Plus this color is so cool

    I got these Joy-Cons to both add another player and to 'switch' up how my controllers look from time to time. I love the feel that any Joy-Con has and these vibrant colors add another level to the console. I would 100% recommend this pair of colors or any other that better suit the player's preference!

    Was experiencing drift after a few years with the joycon that came with my Switch (gray). I bought these to use while my original set was being repaired. I love the vibrant color, it makes them easy to spot. I sometimes wish they would come packaged with matching left and right joycon, instead of two different colors, but I am very pleased with these. I've had them for a year, and no drift on this new set yet. I am considering maybe a new set with different colors!

    I purchased these controllers so I could play Super Mario Party with my wife and 2 kids. Now my daughter has her own pink controller and my son has his own green one. They are so excited every time I give it to them, makes the purchase totally worth it. Also it was super easy to synch them to my Switch.

    I was having problems with original control, nintendo will fix it since its still under warranty, had to get a new one while i get the other one back, i think controls are too expensive and don't even include the piece in the middle to hold it as one, i don't blame Best Buy, the price is the same everywhere

    I’m not a fan of Nintendo never having sales on their games or equipment and because joycons are so expensive took me 2 years to finally buy another pair but only cause it was on sale. Controllers are great and make it easier for games like smash bros and Mario kart with friends.
