    They are as they seem! That is, they seem to be just like the original one, for the switch. Now, we can have all 3 of us play (or for you, up to 4) at the same time, for games (like Mario Cart) where you use one of those two controllers. (Colors didn't mean anything to us. We got "NeonPink/NeonGreen" only b/c it could arrive more quickly than other options. Maybe different colors has some minor benefit, mentally remembering which one to charge, or something. But otw, you'll immediately know, yourself, if you care about color - or it seems non-relevant... I think.)

    Cute colors. Easy to find so you cant lose it. Works great. Great for family fun with games that have more than 2 players. I personally think its pretty expensive but the quality of it is worth it.

    Switch controllers are awesome looking, functionally small, and relatively easy to,use. Biggest gripe is the ease with which they become broken or drift. Even after recalibration and cleaning, they are still non-functional. The price tag is also a little outrageous but they are esentially two controllers as most games can be played with one joy-con. Price and durability are why I gave this 4 out of 5.

    The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers are innovative, comfortable to hold (for small hands), and aesthetically pleasing to look at--especially this neon red and neon blue combo. If you need to pick up a pair of Joy-Con controllers and are having trouble choosing the color, I would recommend this pair. They look great in person and complement the Switch console perfectly. However, as you may have read in the news, the quality of the Joy-Con controllers are not the greatest because of their one great flaw: the Joy-Con drift. For some reason that Nintendo does not disclose, the analog joysticks on these controllers are prone to have phantom movements (aka "drifting") after extended use. For example, my left Joy-Con controller started to drift after 7 months of purchase (when playing BotW, Link would start walking north by himself). Fortunately, as of right now, Nintendo of America is offering free repairs for Joy-Con controllers. Except the fix is not permanent, and the controllers will eventually drift again after fixing. This is because Nintendo has not rolled out a fix to the design yet. If they do fix this permanently in the future, then these controllers deserve an "Excellent" rating.

    Cool color combo, they’ve helped up well so far, took my son a year of abuse on the last pair to get drift, definitely recommend buying a warranty with any joycons/controllers

    Not much to say except they work just as good as other Joy-Cons that I have. Writing this a couple years after buying them and they still work except for the joysticks, but that is because my kids broken them. Good news, they are super easy to replace so that's also a big plus.

    I purely purchased these for the cosmetic value, which to me was great. These add just the right amount of flare, and now I have an extra set of Joycons, which is good for me, because I don't really like removing them from the system (which I used to have to do especially with games like Mario Odyssey). The only downside is these are a bit on the pricey side, but if you can swing it, why not?

    Beautiful vibrant colors. These Joy Cons, though on the expensive side, do bring a god life to your Switch with those beautiful colors. And in case you are wondering, they come with the black straps included; a nice plus.
