    Not sure what to say about these other than they do everything advertised. Personally I like the pro controller better however I'm not buying 4 of them to play Mario Cart.

    So this controller is great especially for those kids hands. As an adult with large hands this controller sometimes feels too small but that is a preference issue. I will probably purchase the Pro Controller for myself.

    If you decide to purchase a Nintendo Switch I would definitely recommend buying another set of controllers. Nintendo has a lot of games for multiple players and if you have a family this is almost a must.

    These are pretty pricey for just a couple of controllers. The main benefit is you do get 2 controllers for spending a little more than you would for other consoles. They're small for adult hands, but are fine for kids which is the main target audience anyway. The removable expanders don't help too much and are somewhat wobbly until they snap in. They also stick when trying to remove them in a way that makes me feel like I'm going to break them even though I'm depressing the release button on the back, which is also in a terrible position since it's hard to avoid hitting other buttons when pressing the release. The build quality is questionable since after a few weeks of moderate to low use, the green controller already started having joystick drift. This can be fixed but it's annoying for it to happen so soon. Overall just okay for occasionally enabling 2 more people to play Mario Kart or Smash Bros.

    I've had a Switch since the day that it came out -- if you are wondering, you absolutely should get new joycons every now and then. Great replacement for my originals.

    Got this extra switch controller so me and my friend could play Smash and is working great so far. More pricey than just a wired controller but well worth the extra bucks for all the bells and whistles.

    So far these work pretty well. It is a Nintendo product so works well and we like the pink and green joy-cons as we have a red and blue so easy to pass around and give someone a color they like.

    Great addition to the controllers that came with the switch. Now we have a blue and grey controller and a red and grey controller so the kids can tell the difference.

    I decided to finally grab another pair of Joy-Cons. I had to get a pair that matched, I couldn't go with the others with two colors. Though, I can't say I think Joy-Cons are the best. The main complaint is they're small for my hands. It doesn't make them bad of course. There is one thing that does make them bad and it's the drift that can easily occur in the Control Sticks. I had them for about 2 months and I needed to send it the Left Joy-Con to Nintendo for repairs. Fortunately, Nintendo offers to repair them for free because of this reason for anyone. Even if you ave no proof of purchase. I'm happy with them overall though. They're great for local multiplayer games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Party.

    I'll just review the color, since you should know if you need or want a Joycon. It's actually kind of awesome. It's a unique shade and almost looks like it should glow in the dark. I love it; it's exactly what I wanted.
