    I’m genuinely impressed with this controller. It feels comfortable in the hands, with responsive buttons and smooth, precise controls that make gameplay more enjoyable. The build quality is solid, and everything works exactly as it should without lag or connection issues. Whether for long gaming sessions or quick play, it performs reliably and adds a lot of fun to the experience. Overall, it’s a joy to use and an excellent controller that I’d happily recommend.

    These joycons look and play perfectly and if I didn't know any better I would have thought they were brand new. I purchased the 2 year warranty as well and I'm not sure if I'll ever actually get to use it but it's mainly for peace of mind since the original's only lasted a couple months after the 1 year warranty expired. Anyway these are perfect without the bloated prices and we highly recommend these over brand new. I'll update my review if these die or start having problems. Hope this helps, thanks.

    No reason to “Switch”

    After an impressively embarrassing amount of gameplay on my original pair of controllers, the time for replacements had finally come. Using Best Buy was a no brainer, and sticking with Nintendo approved controllers is the only way to go. While I opted for a more muted color scheme, the option for a plethora of vibrant and expressive colors was available. I’d definitely recommend anyone in the market for new Switch controllers to click “buy” and get back to gaming!

    These controllers were purchased so we could all play Mario kart. Colors are vibrant. But they are so small for youthe hands. Its takes a while to get used to them. They are super sensitive to the touch. But for almost 80 dollars, I think they are over priced.

    Extra Joy with Extra Con(troller)s

    We're a family of four and were absolutely going to need another set of JoyCons to get our Mario Kart battles going. Work great, paired fast, great battery life and I love how easy Nintendo has made it to mix and match the Cons. We got the Switch with gray thinking the kids would just fight over the colors, but once we decided we needed more, got the Blue/Red pack and everybody swaps colors all the time. Nintendo nailed the gesture control too in Mario Odyssey; love playing with a controller in each hand. More comfortable that way for me.

    In all seriousness, I only had to get these Joycon because the original ones that came with the Switch were starting to drift. I know that I can just send them to Nintendo to be repaired/replaced, but I had been looking to get an additional pair of Joycon anyway. This set is such a beautiful color and reminded me so much of the Splatoon theme that I just opted to get these instead. Great feel, work as intended, and I completely love these. Thanks, Best Buy, for having these in stock and allowing me to get them!

    I got these Joy-Cons to replace the ones that came with my wife's Nintendo Switch. The old set's left joystick started drifting so we bought these to replace those while the old ones get repaired. I'm hoping these don't have the same issue as the old ones. I really enjoy the colors of this set of Joy-Cons and think the colors are a lot nicer than the red and blue that come with the Switch.

    Sleek for its size. Too small for bigger hands. Overall, perfect size for the kids. Quality is there, just wished that the joystick is a lot better built a they sometimes get stuck.

    A Must-Have Accessory

    Of all the joy-cons I've seen, these are my favorite. They feel pretty much identical to others, including the ones in the box, but the color is great! It goes very well with the Switch console. Pairing with the main console was simple, easy, and quick, and all of the controls work excellently. Build quality is also great, with all of the buttons and whatnot having a quality feel. They're a little expensive, but they're a great investment!
