    I have big hands so these feel much more natural. Plus the extra buttons and turbo switch is a nice bonus.

    This definitely makes it comfortable for bigger hands. The downside is that you will need to have a special case if you want to store your switch while it is attached.

    Good controller grips. Got these for my wife cause she loves pokemon. The button are a bit too mushy for me, but she doesn’t mind them. Very comfortable. I would not use these for a game like Smash Bros or Bayonetta

    My son absolutely loves these joy con replacements. He is an older kid in his teen so his hands are larger than pre-teens and these fit perfectly.

    Great for sitting on the couch. They don’t work when unattached so regular joycons will work for docked play.
