    Great controller set with amazing comfort. Slightly smaller than its counterpart, yet just as sturdy and comfortable. Buttons are responsive and the joysticks are way better than the original licensed joy-cons.

    This is one of the best add on for the Nintendo Switch accessories I’ve bought I had ordered others on amazon but not the hori and the one on amazon stopped working after a few weeks or I get really bad stick drift. This one I bought from Best Buy, I had this for a year now I don’t have that problem from the amazon brand or third party brand

    I needed new joycons because the joy sticks on mine had been broken when I moved to a new house. I love these, not only because Gengar is my favorite Pokémon, but because they’re bigger than normal joycons and so much easier to hold!

    I love pokemon and when I saw these controllers for my Oled I grab them! The make handeling the console so much better if you perfer to play on its own. They are a bit bulky so if you have any of the switch accessories to keep it safe you might have to remove them in order to fit them. Also you cannot connect them to play. They ate just ment for the concole solo play. I learned that the hard way. I love them. They did comeright out the box with a bit of drift but it went away. Get these for your pokemon lover!

    Got This for my girlfriend. she likes it a lot better than the regular switch controller since it fits the hands better. You can play for longer without breaking your hands and fingers trying to play. Also looks super cool

    Love the feel of the joycons. They're much more comfortable then the original joycons that come with the switch. The supports on the back to make sure they do not break is also a nice design feature

    Very good feel in the hands, both in button actuation and in general build quality. They have a nice weight to them and don't feel like cheap plastic waste. My only con is that the button mapping is a little unintuitive. If you switch the back button mapping often then you'll probably just memorize the sequence, but if you're like me where you need to change the binding once in a blue moon then hold onto the manual so you can reference it later.

    The joycons were great , they were comfortable, great size but downfall was that they do not rumble. It thought I wasn’t going to miss it but I did . If controllers not rumbling doesn’t bug you then definitely get these !

    I think they’re really comfortable my only gripe is the blue on the thumb sticks is significantly duller than the blue on the buttons but its not a huge deal.

    Let's just say overall, they are an amazing pair of alternatives to joy cons, but you also gotta keep in mind that there is a Setback And that's the problem if you don't mind using these the way they are, then you should be fine but the setback is gyro. If you're the kind of person I like to play splatoons three In mobile or any other game that requires Gyro like Mario cart's. Then these are not for you. Because without gyro, they are pointless, But I could say they are still A good set of alternatives to the finicky and skinny joy con controllers That nintendo offers, but if you can't live without the gyro, then these may not be for you That would be the reason why I took off one star

    Buttons are soft, joycons are not bulky, very comfortable to hold. Does not vibrate/rumble, which comes in handy when playing some games, but that’s ok.
