    No Compatibility Issues

    Because these are both right and left original replacement joy-cons by Nintendo there is no compatibility issue when using to replace broken joy-cons and the Switch can be used immediately. However, the joy-cons do break fairly easily if dropped on a hard surface and this can happen to anyone. I think they could, and should, be made a little more rugged but I guess this is one of the ways the Nintendo makes their money. If you purchase this set to replace one broken joy-con, if the other one breaks, you have a spare. I'm not crazy about the price as well.

    These are the best Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons hands down. The colors are bright and contrast to make the Switch really stand out.

    Expensive but necessary

    I had a hard time swallowing the fact that an extra set of controllers is $80, but they're a must for multiplayer games. I use them for Mario Kart and Just Dance and additionally I rotate them as an extra set during TV mode while my primary controllers are charging on the console. I purchased this item in store and the sales associate it didn't know whether they came with the slide-in handle section and it doesn't specify on the box. Watched an unboxing video to determine that it does indeed come included.

    Controller is smaller than the Wii controllers but with the use of the holder it feels like a standard gaming controller

    They seem to break at around 1 year mark. This is my second set, I hope they last a bit longer this time. They are also a bit overpriced for what they are.

    Great Controller but...

    Brand new joy-con for the switch, it works like a charm, but for how long? My last joycon pair began to have the infamous drifting problem so I bought another to hold me over until Nintendo's repair center reopens. I recommend the joy con, but be aware that the joysticks do generally begin to behave strangely after a few years. Last I heard Nintendo still repairs these for free, but I would recommend having extras to use just in case.
