    I feel like it brings me back to my childhood a little bit... Where the green N-64 controller was always the one I got to use (my older brother got Blue and little brother had yellow). The joy-cons are fun and colorful, we have a couple sets so we have a totally red and totally blue controller. Love em!

    Got these so I could play on my Switch with my grandchildren. I only wish they had the colors I wanted (blue, red, yellow). I love making memories with them.

    These work well but the straps are hard to remove

    I love that you get two controllers in one with these Joy-Con. With these and the ones that come with the Switch you basically have 4 controllers, which in my case is enough for the whole household. I bought a second Comfort Grip to go along with these as well. I intend to get the Charging Dock once it comes out so I can charge all 4 at the same time and so I don't have to mess with my Switch unless I am using it in handheld mode. I did take one star off because I have a really hard time removing the straps.

    Bought these to replace my originals that had stopped working. Very easy to connect and functions perfectly. Not a fantastic price but worth the investment.

    Small size is awkward at first if you're used to other systems, but the unique design is very handy once you're used to it.

    These Joy-cons work well and pair quickly with the Switch. The cost to buy these plus a grip connector makes it too expensive.

    Innovative, but not perfect

    Joy-cons are an interesting innovation in gaming control schemes. These feature Nintendo's fantastic, tactile, clicky and response faceplate buttons from the 3DS. The sticks you may are alright, nothing to write home about. The bumpers are also very tactile, but inconsistent in their button triggering actuality. You can play separated to be relaxed, or attached for finer control. Battery life is good. I prefer the Pro Controller if I have a choice in the game.

    My old original joycons drifted so much some games were impossible to play. The new ones are much more solid, and don't drift at all

    Best 2 pack set controller

    I've always been hesitant to buy a 3rd and 4th controller for any console because of the price. Nintendo makes it easier to do local 4 player/party gameplay with a pair of joy-cons! This has been enjoyed the past 2-3 weeks and it was just for 1 game, many more coming as soon as we beat the current one.

    Multiple ways to play, docked into the switch itself, with the holder that looks like a dog, or one in each hand separately. At first they seem like they'll be too small but I haven't had an issue using them, no cramping or anything even after (probably) 6 hours straight. Definitely a great feature of the Switch.

    Bought these for multi player games. Excellent. Much rather a name brand trustworthy controller than wasting money on a generic controller.

    Need at least two sets for the switch

    If you have a switch, you need to grab another set of controllers for multiplayer games. That is what the Nintendo switch is really about and when it is at its best. Save the single player games for the other consoles and pick up another set. If you have a set of black controllers, grab a colored set.

    Great for parties (4+) so everyone can have a joy-con of their favorite color (if you started with neon red and blue). It'd be cool if you could mix and match sets or buy one of a particular color to have one of each color variant, but it makes sense to sell in packs to sell more.
