    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.

    These controllers are much better than the stock joy con the system comes with. They are bigger and fit your hands better definitely worth the purchase

    So far so good. They fit nicely and don't pop off easily. We are not a big gamer family, as in we play like once a month if that. But every button works as it should.

    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 daughter dropped her switch and the controller broke. This was a better replacement than the original controller that came with the system.

    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.

    Definitely an upgrade in handheld over the base joycons. Highly recommend if you have bigger hands and play handheld mode.
