    You need to buy at least one of these extra packs for the Switch if you want to play with more family members and have a ‘full’ controller each. Although you can play certain games (like Fifa 18) with one part of the controller, it is more convenient for each player to have both halves.

    Initially bought the switch with grey joycons, so I bought these to not have it look so dull. They work great and have no complaints yet.

    The kids love mixing these controllers around with their game pad, and so they have bought a couple different sets for them and their friends to use.

    These colors are amazing. Love the neon brightness of it. Red and blue are cool but dude green and pink pop out. Nice change from the black ones I have.

    This is a great additional or replacement controller option for the Nintendo switch. The color is amazing and looks really cool when attached to the Switch console.

    Swapped this out with my original controllers in case of breakage or drift. I have a special edition Switch and the controllers are not easy to replace if it breaks. Works as intended so no complaints. Wish it wasn’t so pricey though.

    It’s a very bright, but nice color for a Joy Con

    I was at first initially surprised about how bright they were. Even taking them out of the box. I could tell that it has a highlighter shade of yellow. But if you’re a Joy Con enthusiast like myself. Or maybe you just want a different color for another set. You can’t go wrong with these.

    Good but small problem

    Standard controllers for the Switch. Best for people with smaller hands(obviously). They work great except for a small problem I'm having with the blue controller. I can't tell if it's from the set that came with the Switch or if it's this new set I bought separately but I'll explain using the Super Mario Bros game I purchased. So I pick a character, let's say I choose Mario and now I'm inside a level - ready to play it. For some reason, Mario starts moving on his own and isn't responding to me telling him to do what I want him to do (there's a lag, essentially). I know it happens with usage of the controller but still this is a problem. Nobody wants Mario jumping into the lava in Bowser's Castle. If anybody knows a fix instead of me having to buy a new set, please tell. Also wanted to add that this set was not purchased as a replacement but as an additional set to play 4 players at once.

    Pricey but keep in mind that you’re getting technically two controllers. A second set of controllers is definitely needed for the best experience from your Switch.

    Extra set, or Replacement

    Whether you need it for an extra set, or to replace broken ones, these are great. Work straight out of box. I wish the price was better but Nintendo is sticklers on that, and the aftermarket products lead to issues of their own.
