    These Joy-Cons were exactly as advertised. They work amazingly and were in perfect condition. I'm glad that I was able to pick them up from Best Buy!

    Multiple ways to play, docked into the switch itself, with the holder that looks like a dog, or one in each hand separately. At first they seem like they'll be too small but I haven't had an issue using them, no cramping or anything even after (probably) 6 hours straight. Definitely a great feature of the Switch.

    Small size is awkward at first if you're used to other systems, but the unique design is very handy once you're used to it.

    We bought extra joycons so we can play Mario Party with the kids. They work just as well as the ones that came with the switch. We did buy an extra joycon charging grip because the grip that comes with the switch does not have the charging port.

    Best 2 pack set controller

    I've always been hesitant to buy a 3rd and 4th controller for any console because of the price. Nintendo makes it easier to do local 4 player/party gameplay with a pair of joy-cons! This has been enjoyed the past 2-3 weeks and it was just for 1 game, many more coming as soon as we beat the current one.

    I bought these controllers so I could mix-n-match the Joy-Cons that came with the Switch — since they are the opposite colors from the ones that came with the Switch, I’m able to pair the Neon Reds together or the Neon Blues together.

    Original left controller of mine had a stickey joystick. This is a common failure with these controllers but is easily remedied with a cleaning. I purchased this set of controllers to have extras so I can play with friends too, but l was sure to get the extended warranty just in case.

    These controllers came in handy. We have been trying to get some extra ones since last year and they were sold out but it was one left and we grabbed it and that first night we played Mario and I so love playing the game with my kids.

    Need at least two sets for the switch

    If you have a switch, you need to grab another set of controllers for multiplayer games. That is what the Nintendo switch is really about and when it is at its best. Save the single player games for the other consoles and pick up another set. If you have a set of black controllers, grab a colored set.

    Innovative, but not perfect

    Joy-cons are an interesting innovation in gaming control schemes. These feature Nintendo's fantastic, tactile, clicky and response faceplate buttons from the 3DS. The sticks you may are alright, nothing to write home about. The bumpers are also very tactile, but inconsistent in their button triggering actuality. You can play separated to be relaxed, or attached for finer control. Battery life is good. I prefer the Pro Controller if I have a choice in the game.

    The family burns out of controllers at a decent pace with five of us playing games, especially the new Zelda game. These have held up so far.

    Not much to say, they are Nintendo joy-cons. They work (yes aside from the potential for drift down the line with with all of them). Think Nintendo still does free repairs though.

    Great for parties (4+) so everyone can have a joy-con of their favorite color (if you started with neon red and blue). It'd be cool if you could mix and match sets or buy one of a particular color to have one of each color variant, but it makes sense to sell in packs to sell more.

    Love Joycons

    The Joycons are awesome. The HD Rumble feature really makes you feel the game. They are small and easy to carry. You should have at least two pairs so you can play multiplayers games like Mario Kart and make the experience extra fun.
