    I love these gray joy cons, I purchased them as extras to my neon ones and I truly believe I like them more. They offer a more simplistic and classy set up that look nice with my TV

    The Joy Cons work so well with the new Nintendo switch that I had to get EACH COLOR for all the multi player games such as MARIO PARTY where everyone gets a different color.

    These joy-cons are pretty cool looking and work great (for now). I've had issues with two other sets (different colors) that have drifting and/or connectivity issues despite being handled rather gently. So far these work well and perhaps the newer models have less issues.

    Packaging was tattered and controllers buttons are sensitive. Not sure this was tested before being listed as used.

    Got an open box item and I haven’t had any problems. Been six months now. We were able to play mario Kart and mario party with four plays!

    I like the different colors to tell our apart from friends controllers. When using individually they are small for an adult hands.

    My daughter broke one of the original switch controllers, so I had to buy new ones. These worked perfectly and haven't had any problems with them. Happy with my purchase.

    Not much to say if you already have joy cons. Nice colors to match Splatoon theme. I bit over priced when they cost almost a third of the price of a complete Switch.

    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).
