    I actually really like the joy cons. They are excellent controllers when paired up in each hand but they are also really useful on their own individually to be used as impromptu party controllers for a large group. The thing that I really like about these controllers is that if you happen to already on the switch console with the neon Joy cons this set happens to have the colors reversed meaning that you can have either a all blue or all red switch because the left and right colors are in reverse.

    Bought this on sale before the holidays. The ease of curbside at Best Buy beats any other store I’ve ci sides of this pandemic. This was the perfect addition to our sons Christmas gift and we put it to use on Mario cart right away.

    I loooove the color of these joy cons! I've been using them for about a month and have had no issues with it so far. I bought these as back up because I heard that the Nintendo joy sticks can drift after a while but it has been fine.

    I was lucky enough to be able to purchase a Switch on launch day, but they didn't have any bundles with the colored controllers. I really wanted that bundle but I also really wanted the Switch. Luckily my mom paid for half so it wasn't as big of a hit... but seriously, Nintendo? $80??? They are cool....

    Joy-cons: Sometines you have to pay to play.

    Nintendo Switch joy-cons: two controllers for the cost of...well... two controllers. I get it, there's a lot of tech jammed into these little guys. 20 hour battery life, all the motion tech from the Wii controllers, NFC in the right thumb stick for Amiibo figures, an IR sensor, plus they can be used independently for multiplayer games. You need them to play, so they're less of an optional accessory and more of a "gotta have it" because if you want more players, you'll need more controllers.

    The colors on the box give the actual colors on the controllers no justice! Watermelon and neon pop out nicely. Not a fan of the Nintendo switch drift issue which is the reason why we need new ones

    So far , so good! We will see how long they last. Several problems occurred with the original controllers.Something tells me that Nintendo knew the controllers that came with the switch wouldn’t last. Hopefully these will.

    I love my Nintendo Switch. These joy-cons added nice color to my set up and I love it because Splatoon 2 is my favorite game; the colors match the game. I had previously bought a splatoon sticking skin for my Switch consol and joy-con holder and so this addition is great for that.

    The set of Joy-Con are working great. Our kids are hard on them, including dropping them from time to time, and they get a lot of use. They seem well-made. We really like the convenience of being able to charge them in the charging dock (available for purchase separately).

    I have used non-official controllers. A waste of time. I now only use officially licensed products. I will never buy the cheaper ones again. These connect easily, respond quickly, analog precision, and are durable. Well worth the extra cost.
