However, some customers have expressed disappointment with the absence of rumble, wireless connectivity, and gyro features. A few have also reported experiencing stick drift issues.

    I loved the feel of these controllers compared to the regular joycons, but i started to get drift after only a few weeks. It’s bad enough to affect game play and unfortunately make these unusuable, and already too late to return or exchange. Wouldn’t waste your money.

    You can't play Pokemon let's go. Really disappointing. Comfortable to hold though.

    These do not support motion like standard Switch controllers. This is a huge disappointment as the grip is good.

    Has to be connected to the device to work. Not a separate controller. Requires a special charger.

    Not worth the money

    After just about a month of use it’s already got stick drift. It’s very small, but it’s pretty noticeable when I’m playing a game and I’m just walking backwards for no reason. Doesn’t help that you can’t calibrate these controllers in the switch settings at all. We’re comfy and good to use at first, but definitely no where near worth the price for how long they lasted and how cheap they seem

    Right joycon will not stay connected on an almost new switch. Poor qc control, have purchased from Amazon/best buy and have received several dud pairs.
