Despite these concerns, the controllers are generally well-received.

    This was perfect for our Splatoon Switch - it has the opposite colors, so I now have one Switch with all pink, and another Switch with all Green! Yes, they drift, but Nintendo is great at replacing them for free!

    I bought these so I can have instant 4 player capabilities on my beloved Nintendo Switch and I honestly don't regret it. Yeah Joy-Con drift may be a thing but these are still so worth it for the Switch experience alone.

    So I bought these just because the store didn't have the Gray Joycon Switch. That was it lol. Is it worth $80?? I don't think so. I get that it's 2 Joycons and they are wireless and new tech, but come on, $80 Nintendo??? Anyway, works great, no issues.

    So, I love the variety of game play options with this simple controller. I do recommend the optional controller cradle though. They are very small if you have large hands. And the left stick placement is unfortunate. It’s really close to the menu button

    Needed another set of controllers for my switch, and I honestly didn't care what color they were, so picked these up during the black friday sales, and am loving having a second set so more people can play games when I have them over!

    Bought a Nintendo Switch for Christmas and it only came with two controllers. Since we have 2 children we needed extra controllers. I noticed these on sale at Best Buy and decided to pick them up. They work great and love the color.

    Goes perfectly with the Switch. I like how the system recognizes the colors you are using when attached. No issues thus far. Can be separated to play as two separate controllers when necessary for multiplayer games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

    Picked these up as a backup pair for my Nintendo switch so I could play multi-player games like Super Mario Party. Best Buy honored a price match, so an even added bonus. Colors of each joycon are vibrant and fun. Necessary for your Switch gaming needs!

    Picked up this extra set of Joy-Cons to use with Ring Fit Adventure, so we did not have to constantly switch them out. They've been great and have worked well with the adapters. Definitely would purchase again!
