    Bought to have 4 players for mario kart. They make a perfect pair for each of my kid's favorite colors. Like all Nintendo products, great quality. Buttons and analog controls are responsive and provide a pleasant click. They are, unfortunately, quite expensive.

    You can use the joy-con controllers that come with the Switch to play some two-player games, but having an extra set of controllers is best to get the best experience out of Mario Kart, Smash Bros, etc. You can even play up to four players on Mario Kart with an extra set like this.

    LOVE THE COLOR COMBO! I have seen a lot of people buy this combination, in fact when I went to buy at first this exact color was sold out! Was happy to finally get once in stuck, Love how it is easy to use and how nice it pops

    I’m not a fan of Nintendo never having sales on their games or equipment and because joycons are so expensive took me 2 years to finally buy another pair but only cause it was on sale. Controllers are great and make it easier for games like smash bros and Mario kart with friends.

    I got a new Switch so I fixed up my old one to give to my brother in law for Christmas. My biggest issue with my old Switch was drift (IFYKYK). Everywhere was sold out of Joycons, but I managed to snag these AND get same day delivery. Well worth it.

    Excellent Switch controller. We needed a 2nd controller to play coop games and I spend the extra $ to get the name brand controller. It was perfect. The kids enjoyed the neon colors. I recommend paying the extra money and getting the Nintendo controller.

    Great replacements to the originals. I had to send in the originals due to drifting issues so went ahead and purchased these to use in the interim. Great to have two sets.

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

    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!

    These are just like the regular controllers, but in brighter colors. Several color combinations to choose from. There are two main advantages to having these controllers. First if you have someone with a particular color preference. Second by having four separate colors it is easy to designate individual controllers to household members if you like each member to have their own controller. However, they seem overpriced.

    Wireless Controllers work great with our Switch. Colors are vibrant and fun. My only suggestion would be, they should come with a charging station instead of forcing customers to buy something separate.

    A gift for my mom since the ones that came with her Switch has that drifting problem. She just plays Animal Crossing, but it's still annoying when the joystick drifts. No problems so far. Let's see how longs these will last.

    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.

    As with any Nintendo brand product, the quality is pretty excellent (though with their JoyCons you want to make sure you keep wary of stick drift). The only catch is they're remarkably expensive and almost never go on sale, just like most Nintendo products.
