    Joystick remotes break down so easily! Remember N64 remotes and playing a game where you had to pull back hard on the joystick or spin it fast? I remember going through a remote every 3 months or so. These break down a little slower but it's the same defect 20 years later. My son got almost a year out of his Joy Cons but the $70 for replacement remotes is a little steep. Ehh, he was happy with the colors. They're the reverse of the ones he already owns.

    Bought my first Switch which was the Oled model. I needed extra Joycons to play with my family. Always loved the way the blue and red Joycons looked. Classic switch colors. They work great! I will be buying more.

    Good color combo, works well. We usually have to upgrade every couple years due to use, I’d say good value !

    I bought these joy-cons for my 8 year old as the original ones that came with his switch were acting up. He is a fan of Splatoon 2 so I thought they would be perfect! He loves the colors and always comments on how he likes the way they feel when he holds them!

    Pick these up as a Christmas gift for my kids switch I bought them extra controllers come in handy for games such as Arms and Mario Kart. Not much else to say other than that they work well. A little too small for my hands but I'm getting used to it and a bit pricey for what they are otherwise pretty good product.

    I purchased this to add to our other controllers to play Mario party with our family. They were easy to pair and now my kids prefer these over their other controllers. Like all other Nintendo gear, they are well made and easy to use. Great Product.

    My other controllers got worn out and made my charater run with out my hands on the controller. So they do wear out after like 80 hours of play, but I love my fun colored ones so I can tell the difference in which one is broken

    We have 5 kids and wanted to add some controllers so they can play more of the games together. These work perfectly and we love that you can add them together. We chose to get the multicolored ones so when you add them with the two that came with the system you can have one full blue one and one full red one!

    Quality controllers. I love having this extra pair while I have my other ones charging on the console. They also make playing games in bed comfortable when they are detached. Innovative for people like me that can't stop playing even when they're trying to go to sleep.

    It was nice that they had these available in my area when no places around where I am currently living have these colors. This is the second set. Unfortunately the first replacement pair developed really bad stick drift within a week. On the plus side, BestBuy replaced them no questions asked and now it works as expected. We have had all together 4 switch consoles in our house this was the only pair to ever get stick drift.

    Left joycon not working

    Ugh Either I have awful luck or Nintendo has awful manufacturing because I has issues with the left joycon 3x in a row ! Seriously! The left joycon doesn't hold sync with Switch and inputs would be wrong . I returned it and I had the same issue with the next version. I had this issue with my launch system left joycon and had to call nintendo to fix it . That's what I did here , and they fixed it and shipped it back to me free of charge . Call 1-800-255-3700 if the controller feels to de sync and occasionally inputs are off . That being said once they do work it's nice . The HD rumble is a nice feature and more advanced motion controls work nicely . I miss a D pad but I do like you can play games with a single joycon. Now that I have 4 working joycon , I will never buy another set . Grey color looks adult and overall it's not bad . I wish it was cheaper but being able to split up and play 4 player with 2 joycon sets is nice . Battery life is fantastic. So yeah the issue with left joycon is a serious issue so that should give you caution. Maybe it's been resolved in newest controllers but still something to think about .

    Do they work out of the box, yes. Will one or both controllers get the famous Joy-Con drift problem when you are you are at most vulnerable state when you are stressed out and just need the soothing sounds of Animal Crossing but you can’t enjoy it because the controller is not acting right, also yes. I have my original set, and the one that I just purchased with Geek Squad protection. Even though Nintendo offers a free return process for the controllers long past it’s actual warranty period, the first time I got the drift it took them about a month, to send me a replacement. When they work.. they are great. But when I need them to work, my soul screams in pain. It kills me that Nintendo still hasn’t figured out a way to prevent this from happening.

    While not the original color I was looking for ( I wanted the Yellow and Purple One) these were great. They look great on the Switch too. Haven't experienced any drift with them yet either.

    Bought these joycons so that the whole family could play together. We are enjoying the multiplayer Party games, and now we can play 4 at a time. They were very easy to sync with the switch. My son has even synced them to his switch lite for multiplayer fun
