    The controllers work great, same as original that comes with the switch. What I don’t like is how the wrist strap slides onto the side of the controller making controller a little too wide/ bulky for my hand.

    Bought these to go with my then six-year-old's Nintendo Switch and he figured out how to pair them all by himself. We've been using them forever. Yay!

    Love the color and easy to charge. We separate them a lot to turn them into two separate controllers. Switch is really fun for the whole family.

    More fun colored Switch controllers make it easy to distinguish whose Joy-Con is whose. Also came with the L/R button things which I thought I had to buy separate, so that was nice, too.

    kids needed extra controllers for their switch for when their friends come over. So far so good as they have been able to play games with their friends.

    These are great extra controllers especially for the bigger family or for a lot of switch play so that way controllers can rotate getting charged.

    Joycons are inherently bad

    [Employee of bestbuy] I love the colors. If you want to play any of the fun multiplayer and nintendo exclusive games, get the joycons. If you would rather have a better experience on any solo/first person game I recommend the holi-split pad (same price? And turbo mode). Joy cons make my forearms ache. If you have stressed and strained wrists from work, dont get joycons for single player handheld gaming. They also have less game hours on average in their life span than any main console controllers on the market (hundreds vs thousands).

    These look a heck of a lot better than the blue-red combo but that's just my opinion. Good set of joycons had to buy some because my originals were drifting.

    Bought this as an extra set for my kids switch. The colors are bright and it's great having a two color combo set so it's easier for the kids to identify which ones goes where.

    Smart controllers, may not last

    I had to buy a new set of Joy-cons because my original pair stopped working after only a little over a year. They work great, and it's very clever how they can turn into a pair of controllers while on the go. I wish there was a D-pad though, as it's difficult to play fighting games using the analog stick.

    The fact that you can use Nintendo’s Joy-Cons as two separate controllers made me buy another. This color was also really cool! Overall, it’s perfect to have when friends come over and you can have multiple controllers. The only con is that it’s a bit pricey.

    These controllers are very advanced with great gyro control and HD rumble. They take gaming to another level. They are a tad small, but with the slide on adapters, it still feels great to hold.
