    Love how the colors pop. I purchased this as a second controller. I t can be used for one person or separate the two for additional 2 players. However, it depends if the game allows the controls to be used in this way.

    Got these and another set for my nephew for Christmas. While I think Nintendo has overpriced these, they work well and they love the colors.

    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.

    They work great and my son gets lots of compliments on the colors. I don’t like his expensive they are but we had to buy replacements as the originals were acting up.

    Mixed Review - Joy-Con misfunctioned w/in 2 weeks

    I have a mixed review of these Joy-Cons. On one hand, they are a great engineering concept (and obviously they're a necessity to use with the Switch). However, the only reason we bought these replacements is because one of the Joy-Cons on my son's Switch (which we just bought 6 months ago) began to malfunction. On his games, the joystick would just move in one direction. We tried blowing air into it, cleaning it, and recalibrating it. Finally, I figured it was time to take it apart and figure out what was wrong with it. However, Nintendo has some proprietary tri-screws on the back of these Joy-Cons, which I had no luck finding at Best Buy, Home Depot, MicroCenter, nor GameStop. Rather than ordering a screwdriver from Nintendo, I relinquished and bought these $70 replacements. Within 2 weeks, one of these Joy-Cons began to malfunction in the same manner, although not as bad (YET!). We have engrained into my son's head that if he ever breaks the Switch, there is no replacement. Hence, he is very careful with it and doesn't play rough, doesn't toss the controllers, doesn't spill drinks on them, etc. So I'm not really sure why this is occuring. Regardless, you can't really play the Switch without these controllers, so not much I can do. I'll probably eventually take one apart and see what's going on beneath the surface. Just be forewarned that this is the 2nd occurrence of this issue for us within 6 months. I already found the $70 price point to be a bit excessive for a game controller, so I will definitely not be buying a 3rd set and will have to deal with fixing these on my own.

    Great product! Colors are nice and vibrant and they work well. Hoping the drift doesn’t get bad on these like it did the original pair I replaced these with.

    I just got them because I needed more controls to play on the Switch. The colors are cool, the girlfriend choose them. If it was up to me I would’ve gotten them in black. The fruity colors make them pop.

    Great colors and works as advertised. IF you're looking to replace or add to your Switch collection, this is it. Just too bad they're so overpriced (and pray you don't get stick-drift)
