    Works perfectly! I originally bought the grey joycons due to the Switch being sold out at the time, and always wanted the original colors. Now the family has 4 joycons and we can all play Mario Party together.

    Great controllers! Right size and good battery live. Strong enough for kids daily usage.

    Ordered these while they were on back order and when they finally arrived it was completely worth the wait. I thought I wasn't going to look the orange as much but the color is much denser in person compared to photos online and goes with the purple so well.

    I wasn't as excited about the colors when I bought them online but due to the shortage I bought whatever was available. To my surprise, the colors are actually pretty cool! I would have preferred the blue and red. But as extra controllers go, they are cool. I have had them for over a month with a great deal of usage and haven't had any issues with drifting. Only think that doesn't make it a "great" rating for me is the price!

    Basic: Beware of Drift

    If you are getting these to fix your joycon drift just beware that these controllers still pose the risk of drift. Luckily I have never had a drifting problem and just got these to have extra controllers. They have been great so far and no drift but I also think joycon controllers are extremely overpriced for how basic they are.

    Works as they should. none of them are built to last so be prepared to replace them at least yearly if the game is played often like my sons is.

    Good pair of joycons with no drift issues. The pink is pretty dark though, you'd think it was just red unless you have another red one next to it.

    Just got a couple to replace the original that came with the console two years ago. They still work fine but the left stick is losing some accuracy. So I can still use them to play party games and such. These can be a bit expensive, so I bought them during a holiday sale.

    I like having extra controllers because when I get together with my whole family we can each have a different color. They work great and haven’t had any issues.

    These are a must have for one of my favorite games on the Nintendo Switch- Just Dance! I had to get an extra set of controllers so more people can join in on the fun! Make sure you wear the straps that come with the box otherwise it will slip right out of your hands as you fling your arms in the air dancing!

    Small enough to fit comfortably in my hand, yet large enough in its scale of diversity, the "Joy-Con (L/R) Wireless Controllers for Nintendo Switch" has enhanced the way I play games. Whether it's horizontal, vertical, with a grip, or free, each position is designed to fit ergonomically, which enables me the freedom to play for countless hours at a time. Of all the consoles I've owned, the Nintendo Switch's controllers have to be my favorite by far. --With that said, I have to be light-handed/delicate when using Nintendo's Joy-Cons as to avoid the notorious "Joy-Con Drift"; however, Nintendo offers free repairs for this issue & will refund anyone who's been charged, to fix the defect, in the past. --I thinks that's a pretty good deal should I ever experience this issue myself. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my new pair. Cheers!

    These controllers were easy to swap out with my sons original controllers. They work well. He was happy to get a new color as well.

    Great colors. And a bit of a wide variety of colors works great. And dont have to worry about getting them mixed up with other controllers. The minecraft game is good. And has a lot of different routes to take. And to play.

    These were replacements for the originals. Maybe it's me learning how to take care of them better, but these have held up much better. Or maybe it's because I got the insurance. It's like taking the car in for a noise that stops when you arrive.

    Great out of the box. Wish I didn't have to buy new ones because mine started having drift and were unrepairable. The price is ridiculous for when you can just get a full wireless controller for the same price.

    The left blue that came with the switch did not work going straight up or down playhing Pikmin 3 deluxe. Don't think it was a drift issue. But these work perfectly. Now sending the original to nintendo for repair. My son really likes the colors.
