    Great addition for mutiplayer games. The color of each controller even shows on the screen making identifying each player easier.

    These controllers are great! I love the fact that they’re not the typical grey or blue/red combo that come with the unit.

    Joy cons are great but absurdly expensive

    I love the idea of the Joy Cons and the fun variety of colors they offer them in, but even on sale it’s absurdly expensive. They are nearly 1/3 of the price of a new Switch. Otherwise, I very much like the feel of them.

    Switch essential

    This is a must purchase for any Switch owner. It's expensive, but it's a huge upgrade from the nunchuck day of the Wii. Unlike the nunchuck, both side of the controllers can be used independently and you don't have to worry about the cable in between. On games that only require one joycon, each player can grab one to play. They are not as durable as the Wii controller so make sure you get the protective cover for them.

    Absolutely love this new color. So much nicer than the original red and blue controllers. The controllers buttons and joy stick are very smooth to touch and it even comes with a nice easy to adjust protective case. This purple and orange are the best colors out yet!!

    Peripherals is where Nintendo shines

    Nintendo doesn't get enough credit for their ingenuity. They may not be considered mainstream in today's gaming world, but that's doesn't stop their competitors from trying to follow in their foot steps and failing. Xbox had the kinect which has been mostly scrapped and the Playstation had the move which has been resurrected thanks to VR. The JoyCons are essentially the next generation Wii mote and they are fantastic. I've heard complaints above size, but with my larger hands they still seem to fit just fine.

    Great replacement for my older joy-cons that stopped working some time ago! Love the colors and the controls work great! I only wish it weren’t so expensive, but the quality of the product is great so I can’t complain too much.

    Great price, OEM Joycons

    These are the basic, OEM Nintendo JoyCons and they work just as well as you would expect. Nintendo hardware is usually pretty premium with good quality materials and durable manufacturing - these controllers are no exception. I got my Switch with the grey controllers so no confusion adding an extra red/blue set, but even if you bought the red/blue with your Switch it's nice that these are the opposite colors (Red=L; Blue=R) than what was packaged with the console.

    Between for myself and others Ive purchased over ten of these remotes since 2017. All of them still function well, even after going through playtime with very young kids. The higher name brand price is worth it in this case.

    The official nintendo joy-cons are very high quality and I have no complaints about them or their battery life. However, they are way too expensive. $80 for a game controller is just too much.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
