    Best 2 pack set controller

    I've always been hesitant to buy a 3rd and 4th controller for any console because of the price. Nintendo makes it easier to do local 4 player/party gameplay with a pair of joy-cons! This has been enjoyed the past 2-3 weeks and it was just for 1 game, many more coming as soon as we beat the current one.

    Multiple ways to play, docked into the switch itself, with the holder that looks like a dog, or one in each hand separately. At first they seem like they'll be too small but I haven't had an issue using them, no cramping or anything even after (probably) 6 hours straight. Definitely a great feature of the Switch.

    Innovative, but not perfect

    Joy-cons are an interesting innovation in gaming control schemes. These feature Nintendo's fantastic, tactile, clicky and response faceplate buttons from the 3DS. The sticks you may are alright, nothing to write home about. The bumpers are also very tactile, but inconsistent in their button triggering actuality. You can play separated to be relaxed, or attached for finer control. Battery life is good. I prefer the Pro Controller if I have a choice in the game.

    Need at least two sets for the switch

    If you have a switch, you need to grab another set of controllers for multiplayer games. That is what the Nintendo switch is really about and when it is at its best. Save the single player games for the other consoles and pick up another set. If you have a set of black controllers, grab a colored set.

    Bright colors, and the flexibilty that you expect from Nintendo’s JoyCon controllers. They aren’t the most durable, so be gentle with them.

    Great for parties (4+) so everyone can have a joy-con of their favorite color (if you started with neon red and blue). It'd be cool if you could mix and match sets or buy one of a particular color to have one of each color variant, but it makes sense to sell in packs to sell more.

    Got these so I could play on my Switch with my grandchildren. I only wish they had the colors I wanted (blue, red, yellow). I love making memories with them.

    Love the new color, bought it because the color was so unique and vibrant. Feels sturdy and is great to the touch with its matte finish. Looks good paired with the switch and joycon comfort grips.

    Needed new joy-cons. My original ones began to not work. They would drop the connection and lag. They work how they should. My order was quickly filled and picked up. Bestbuy was the only store in the area who had these in stock!

    These Joy-cons work well and pair quickly with the Switch. The cost to buy these plus a grip connector makes it too expensive.

    I love the joycons as controllers. What's cool is that the Switch knows which color each joycon is in the settings, so on screen, you'll know that player 2 is the guy with the yellow joycons for example. I'd recommend a joy con controller grip, as some people need one complete controller to hold onto.

    Wanted to get a different color Joy-Con to compliment the red/blue set that came with the Nintendo Switch, this worked out perfectly. Have had no problems with it since purchase and have very much enjoyed multiplayer games with four different colored controllers!
