    Got a new set of Joy-Cons for the kids so they wouldn't break the special ones I got for my wife for Christmas. So far they've stood up against everything the kids have to throw at them.

    Extra joy cons are a must have if you love to play with others. I have a pair for my system and a pair for my niece's system. These work great. I love the color options and that you can charge a pair while playing with another pair.

    My son hasn't put these down except when they need a charge. We purchased these with the SWITCH to have a second set of controllers and they work great. They have a pretty good battery life (so far) and the Nintendo controllers are the perfect size for smaller hands.

    Mainly got it so I can be able to play with 4 players. It’s a great color way and if your joycons are dying you have a spare set to play with. It’s a win-win situation. I would recommend insurance too if you play frequently and tend to get frustrated (been there).

    My daughter really wanted a pink controller so luckily BestBuy seemed to be one of the few places I could get Pink. A but expensive but genuine and I caught them on sale. Makes Mario Cart more fun to paly with 4 people.

    They are totally switchable with the ones that come with your system. As Switches are hard to find, I could only find the red/blue version, but was able to get these to have the gray, and now I have a second pair for multiplayer.

    As expected joy con controllers. Nothing special and really small for big hand adults.

    This was for my daughter and she says that she loves it. She was actually showing them (the controllers) to me yesterday. Only aspect that is not positive is that they are a little more expensive than I feel they should be.

    The Joy-Con controllers for the Nintendo Switch are amazing, because the systems comes with two controllers from the get-go, unlike all other gaming systems. So, purchasing an extra set of controllers you’ll have a total of 4(now that’s a party!). The only set back about this item is the pricing. These small controllers unfortunately will set you back a whopping $79.99 +tax. Other than that, Joy-Cons are the most innovating, and fun controllers made yet!

    There is no good reason not to buy an extra set of Joy con. Grey was not my first choice but everywhere was out of stock in the yellow and I did not want to wait. These are priceless for when the battery runs out on my primary pair or for getting the whole family playing Mario Cart.

    Excellent replacement controllers. My son plays his Switch a lot, so we've had to replace the controllers while getting the original set replaced by Nintendo. Nice selection of color combos.

    I got the neon Switch at launch and was unable to find extra neon controllers any where till now! (October). Now I finally have matching joycons! Since these are reverse of the joycons that came with the system each player can have a unique color if we're using both joycons in a game!

    Nintendo always makes great products that are built well and last, these Joycons are no different. They hold up well, they are pricey though

    These were a great replacement for our old ones. The old ones were glitching constantly but these ones don’t glitch at all, they’re perfect!

    These Joy-Cons are very vivid and beautiful in color. They are small and very portable, as is the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch console with Neon Joy-cons was made with the right controller being red and the left controller being blue. So I really like how the right controller is blue and the left controller is red in this set. My only complaint was the high price. It's hard to justify the purchase of additional controllers at $49.99 for one and $79.99 for two.
