    I feel like it brings me back to my childhood a little bit... Where the green N-64 controller was always the one I got to use (my older brother got Blue and little brother had yellow). The joy-cons are fun and colorful, we have a couple sets so we have a totally red and totally blue controller. Love em!

    I run through these things like crazy. The stick drift sucks. When they work, they work. But after a month or so you either take the time to go back to bestbuy for an exchange or you just hang up the switch and kick back for a long time. Oh and these little things are outrageously expensive. Plus, only ugly colors are in stock when I pull up for an exchange.

    Bought these to open up the 4 player options for Mario Cart, overcooked, and others. They are the same as what comes eith the console, quick sync to the system and rechargable batteries make this an easy addition. Proce tag is a bit steep but keep in mind you are getting 2 controllers for most games

    Thank you Best Buy for the last minute save! After a miscalculation with christmas gifts for our 3 kids, we were able to find the controllers in stock at the store. We placed the order online and picked up the item with in 2hours. That easy during a Christmas rush.

    They are joy cons. They do joy con stuff. They work. But save yourself some cash and go buy the Japanese or Hong Kong versions on eBay or something. They do joycon stuff and are 40-50 bucks

    Got 2 Nintendo Switch Wireless Controllers (one green and pink, one blue and yellow) so now there's no question as to whose is whose. They were thrilled and with the added charging station I think grandma might have even out done Santa. Happy grandkids, happy grandma!

    Multiple ways to play, docked into the switch itself, with the holder that looks like a dog, or one in each hand separately. At first they seem like they'll be too small but I haven't had an issue using them, no cramping or anything even after (probably) 6 hours straight. Definitely a great feature of the Switch.

    Small size is awkward at first if you're used to other systems, but the unique design is very handy once you're used to it.

    Geek Squad recommended new joy cons to fix our Nintendo Switch and it worked! So glad we didn't have to replace the entire console.

    I've always been hesitant to buy a 3rd and 4th controller for any console because of the price. Nintendo makes it easier to do local 4 player/party gameplay with a pair of joy-cons! This has been enjoyed the past 2-3 weeks and it was just for 1 game, many more coming as soon as we beat the current one.

    They don't last long. Get warranty if possible.

    The Nintendo switch controllers are probably the cheapest material and the most expensive controller i ever owned in my life. i had to get new controller very 4-6month and at over $69.99 each. If you have this same issue, Get the warranty. Learned the hard way. Horrible duration for controllers.

    Need at least two sets for the switch

    If you have a switch, you need to grab another set of controllers for multiplayer games. That is what the Nintendo switch is really about and when it is at its best. Save the single player games for the other consoles and pick up another set. If you have a set of black controllers, grab a colored set.

    I like having extra controllers because when I get together with my whole family we can each have a different color. They work great and haven’t had any issues.

    Original left controller of mine had a stickey joystick. This is a common failure with these controllers but is easily remedied with a cleaning. I purchased this set of controllers to have extras so I can play with friends too, but l was sure to get the extended warranty just in case.
