    Joycons are inherently bad

    I love the colors. If you want to play any of the fun multiplayer and nintendo exclusive games, get the joycons. If you would rather have a better experience on any solo/first person game I recommend the holi-split pad (same price? And turbo mode). Joy cons make my forearms ache. If you have stressed and strained wrists from work, dont get joycons for single player handheld gaming. They also have less game hours on average in their life span than any main console controllers on the market (hundreds vs thousands).

    I think this was a necessary purchase to take advantage of all the Switch has to offer. They hold a charge for a long time and charge quickly. Very good purchase.

    I bought the grey joycon set to troubleshoot my Nintendo switch joycons which were faulty. They didn't work, telling me the problem was with my console. The grey is a nice color, anyway.

    We play a lot of four player games and needed additional controllers. I like having other colors than the initial controllers too. These work well and charge lasts a long time.

    My kids were pumped that these colored switch joy cons were still available. Gives a different feel and ties into the color scheme of some of the games they love like Splatoon 2 and Arms.

    I purchased the new Switch Joy Cons for my son, since he had an original one that was no longer working (he may have damaged it). He had no issues with converting to the new Joy Cons.

    I'm glad I bought the second set of joy-cons. I use the batteries up and immediately swap them out and can play for a few more hours. If you play as much as I do, you need these! Buy them! Now!!!

    These joy-con are great controllers. They have tons of tech, and can be used similar to an SNES controller, a Wii remote, or a standard controller. Great if you want more joy-con for multiplayer

    I had the drifting stick problem with the original grey joy cons that came with my original launch Switch. I bought these and haven't had a problem since.
