    I love the purple and orange on these joy-cons. I only wished the price on these joy-cons was cheaper. Luckily I haven't experienced drift on any of mine, but no worries here- Nintendo will fix them free of charge, if it comes up in the future. I can't wait until a right joy-con comes in purple so I can match them together to make a full set. The orange is much easier on the eyes than the yellow colored joy-cons released years prior.

    Our originally joycons had drift issues so these were purchased to replace them. We love the colors on these and it’s nice to have some fresh controllers. I just hate that they cost so much.

    I purchased the neon red/neon blue Joy-Con controllers because I wanted to replace the grey colored controllers that came with my Nintendo Switch. Best Buy was the only store in town that had them in stock, available for purchase/pick up that day. The new neon controllers fit perfect. They were simple to swap out. My Nintendo Switch looks so much brighter and the controllers work great!

    If you are going to get some joy con. Get the original ones. I bought some after market one and they went bad in 2 month. It started to drift and no longer connect good. So thats why i bought original and my kids love the color. Easy to connect and great range.

    I'm happy to report that both the right and left joy-con that came in the box function well. My Switch initially came with gray joy-cons, and like many others who purchased a Switch when it first came out, the reception on my original left joy-con isn't good. Sometimes my inputs don't register with the system. However, the left joy-con on this replacement set functions much better. I personally like the colors, and it makes it easy to tell at a glance whose controller belongs to who when you're using them individually. The only real negative is that Nintendo charges way too much for Switch accessories. The MSRP for Switch joy-cons, pro controllers, docks, etc is far too high. That alone is worth the loss of a star. If the MSRP for joy-cons was $60 rather than $80, I would've given this 5 stars.

    Best Controller Out There

    These things are great. I have used the cheaper ones that are a single controller and these split joy cons are so much better. They have been abused and still work but I have gone through three of the cheaper ones in three years. I wish they would go on sale but I understand why they don’t because they are worth it at their regular price.

    These are replacement controllers for a two year old system. I thought these controllers were nearly indestructable, but my grandson proved me wrong with the originals. Cost more than I would like, but can't do without them.

    As with the construction and design of the Switch Joycons, they are built to take the brunt of a drop and protect the screen and main part of the system. Unfortunately that means the tiny plastic piece that causes the joycon to lock into place on the main part of the swtich body tends to break fairly easily. Having a spare joycon or twon will come in handy. Just wish nintendo sold them a little chaeaper or made the single joycon packs easier to find.

    These controllers are great. Drift is a real issue but the original ones last way longer than the knockoffs, so they're worth the extra money.

    In person, these don't quite match the pictures. The pink is a little more on the reddish side (but still a bright pink) and the green is a little deeper, more like a lime than watermelon). Other than that, these things work great! Used them to replace my OG gray ones that one finally got the dreaded drift on the joystick.
