    These are an addition to our Switch so we can play more motion games- didn’t realize our controllers that came with the Switch were aging until we got new ones lol. Function as they should- opposite colors of the ones the switch came with.

    They function just as well as the joycons that come with the system. Mine were starting to act wonky so I purchased these to replace the older ones. It is a known issue that the joycons die after awhile.

    Being new to the switch community I was weary to spend so much on controllers that may be so prone to problems but we needed another and made the jump. Seem to be working great so far, battery life is very good and no other problems.

    Good quality and ranges. Fits the console like the included controls and offers ability to perform multiplayer at home.

    Love the colors for these two, the store had an awesome selection and price matched me at my request. I was able to purchase these for $10 below retail selling price, so I’m a happy boy.

    For the kids, they love it, pricey but great quality, zero issues any of our joy cons. But if you have issues, nintendo is fantastic about getting them fixed for you, even out of warranty.

    Extra Joy-Cons are a must for playing multiplayer games on the go like Mario Kart. They are very sturdy and the battery life is pretty great (at least 15 hours). Note that the black bumpers\wrist straps are included, so there is no need to purchase them separately.

    These are the typical switch controllers and work just fine. Once in a great while it will lose connection but that may be where my Switch is located.

    These are not only some of my favorite colors but they make playing my games fun and colorful. I also like that with the colors when we play games with the kids everyone gets a different color to play with.

    After buying neon switch. I was determined to get the ALT joycons, so that I could make my switch all blue. Without paying ridiculous amount for the all blue joycins that I couldn't find anywhere except online for $200. Thanks Best Buy you saved the day again!!

    My launch Switch joysons, after 4 years unfortunately started drifting. Both joycons were drifting pretty bad so I decided to buy these new ones and thankfully no drifting issues at all, so far.

    Not sure why, but the joycons we got last year stopped charging! Glad we had the protection plan, because these babies work great! And we actually got money back, didn't even need a box to return our old ones!
