    Make sure to purchase the nintendo brand controllers. The knock offs do not work well with rechargers and the console itself. Had to go back and purchase nintendo brand and everything worked great! Highly recommend

    these joy cons are a must need for gaming on the go but It seems that the common issue with these are that after so much use they tend to start tracking on their own. unfortunately I had the lets go limited edition and the left side would always track up and to the left. some reviews said that the material inside breaks down and causes it. so I had to get these to replace it.

    I like the concept of these controllers...have to get used to them...I just don’t like that u have to buy all these extra stuff to make it a controller which just adds more money n these controllers are not cheap to begin with ...but be cautious they do have problems maybe get warranty...my kids are older but after a year or so they stop working correctly and had issues with calibration...something to keep in mind

    It's Fine

    There are just certain games that need to use the Joy-Con controllers like Mario Party or Kart, and they're perfectly fine, however, I think given the option and availability, the Pro controller is the best route to go. However, if a game uses both and you're trying to be more frugal and pragmatic, then purchasing this would be the more ideal option as two players can use each individual controller (if the game allows for it).

    Product arrived as quick as expected during the holiday season and works great! If I need to purchase again, I will order through Best Buy again. I have never had an issue with anything I have purchased from here.

    We bought a switch for Christmas and needed another set of controllers. They work well and my kids have enjoyed using them. They are expensive though so it might be worth your while to check out the prices of pro controllers as well

    My kids love their switch, they had broken the joycon on the original pair. This item came fast and was easy to order online. Before they even realized the original set were broken I had this ordered and delivered.

    I needed a couple more joycons for Super Mario Party, and I wanted the pink one for me and the green one for my wife. These look nicer than the original grey, or blue and red ones however the pink is kind of bland. It's not a very vibrant pink, and it looks almost red. The green on the other hand is a very nice green, and my wife loves the color. I still prefer these over the original colors whether the pink is vibrant or not.

    As usual, Nintendo makes a great product. The unusual colors are a great idea to keep specific sets of controllers from others. In our house, we rotate one set on the charger and one set in use. The difference in colors makes it easy to track.

    The colors are attractive and bright. Joy Con is a solid product and we have m ver had a problem. Best Buy is always the best store to go to when looking for price match, quality and quantity!

    I bought a second set of controllers for my nephew last Christmas and he loves having someone else to play games with. Having two more controller allows for him to also race with three other people on Mario Kart. Definitely a great buy!

    You know what you are getting with the Nintendo Joy Cons and these are a brilliant neon blue color that is awesome. Color matches pretty spot-on with the images shown. One thing to note is that the blue straps do not accurately match in color (but those are sold separately).
