    Easy use, such vivid and pretty colors. Loved my new controllers so much. I dropped them down stairs and they didn’t really scratch as well. No lag yet either.

    Worked great. The colors were the only option local and delivery to choose and availability was an issue for other colors. Overall the controllers worked as required. We enjoyed multiple games of 4 person Mario Cart which is always fun. I like these but I still prefer the larger controllers.

    Awesome controller and needed to add this to my daughters set as she always has friends over and didn't have enough controllers for some games. I got it on sale, but its so expensive in general! It works great and doesn't disconnect or drop during game play! She loves the colors too!

    These controllers are durable, look great (if neon pink and green are your type of thing), and work as expected. They are a bit expensive compared to their wired counterpart, but having the wireless option is worth the premium.

    They are as they seem! That is, they seem to be just like the original one, for the switch. Now, we can have all 3 of us play (or for you, up to 4) at the same time, for games (like Mario Cart) where you use one of those two controllers. (Colors didn't mean anything to us. We got "NeonPink/NeonGreen" only b/c it could arrive more quickly than other options. Maybe different colors has some minor benefit, mentally remembering which one to charge, or something. But otw, you'll immediately know, yourself, if you care about color - or it seems non-relevant... I think.)

    Neon Pink/Green Joy Cons

    Works great especially with a Comfort Grip! Nice, matte finish with a retro color scheme. Probably my favorite colors for Joy-Con's so far, and great little joysticks with great deadzone/responsiveness. The HD Rumble is by far the best in the business in the universe of gamepads in my opinion. I know some people have complained about the d-pad, but I personally like the singular buttons when playing with a full controller. I also have read positive reviews of the overall toughness of the controllers(along with the actual Switch), and I wasn't sure until I actually dropped my old Blue/Red setup with absolutely no problem whatsoever. =) Overall, the Switch is the next N64, and I'll probably be using these little guys for a long time. Way to go, Nintendo!

    Excellent choice for new or extra Joy-Cons

    When the Splatoon 2 bundle released, I was bummed to find out that this color scheme was exclusive to it in the US. I ended up buying my girlfriend the bundle so we had them around, but I never really got to use them. Fast forward several months, and I saw these on the shelf at Best Buy and immediately purchased them because my Joy-Cons were aging poorly. The build quality is great, and they've been a huge upgrade from my old Joy-Con's sticks. The main draw, though, is obviously the color scheme. I was aware that these actually aren't the same as the Splatoon 2 bundle when buying them, but that's something to be aware of. The left Joy-Con is pink and right Joy-Con is green while the Splatoon 2 bundle's Joy-Cons are swapped. A neat advantage to this for anyone who does own the Splatoon 2 bundle is that purchasing this now allows you to choose a Switch color scheme that's either all green, all pink, or any combo of the two. Overall, they're great looking Joy-Cons if you're looking for something a little more colorful than the basic red, blue, and grey options.

    Switch controllers are awesome looking, functionally small, and relatively easy to,use. Biggest gripe is the ease with which they become broken or drift. Even after recalibration and cleaning, they are still non-functional. The price tag is also a little outrageous but they are esentially two controllers as most games can be played with one joy-con. Price and durability are why I gave this 4 out of 5.

    Definitely a good purchase if you have a switch, being as they can start to wear down fairly quickly. But solid purchase, and would definitely recommend. Only issue I could possibly have would be they do not offer the white OLED controllers for purchase. But definitely super easy to pair and setup, takes like 30 seconds and you’re ready to go.

    The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers are innovative, comfortable to hold (for small hands), and aesthetically pleasing to look at--especially this neon red and neon blue combo. If you need to pick up a pair of Joy-Con controllers and are having trouble choosing the color, I would recommend this pair. They look great in person and complement the Switch console perfectly. However, as you may have read in the news, the quality of the Joy-Con controllers are not the greatest because of their one great flaw: the Joy-Con drift. For some reason that Nintendo does not disclose, the analog joysticks on these controllers are prone to have phantom movements (aka "drifting") after extended use. For example, my left Joy-Con controller started to drift after 7 months of purchase (when playing BotW, Link would start walking north by himself). Fortunately, as of right now, Nintendo of America is offering free repairs for Joy-Con controllers. Except the fix is not permanent, and the controllers will eventually drift again after fixing. This is because Nintendo has not rolled out a fix to the design yet. If they do fix this permanently in the future, then these controllers deserve an "Excellent" rating.

    The Neon Purple/Neon Orange pair reliably delivers exactly what it promises. These controllers do what they’re supposed to do—connect seamlessly, respond quickly, and give you the flexibility to play however you like, whether docked, handheld, or in tabletop mode. The wireless connectivity is rock solid, syncing instantly with the console and staying responsive during gameplay. Motion controls, HD rumble, and gyro aiming all work without a hitch, just as expected from official Nintendo hardware. The buttons are responsive, and the analog sticks feel accurate and smooth—ideal for everything from platformers to party games. A bonus is the bold color scheme. The Neon Purple and Neon Orange combination stands out in a great way, adding a burst of personality to your Switch setup. It’s a small aesthetic touch that makes the gaming experience feel more fun and customized. In short, these Joy-Cons do exactly what they’re advertised to do—no gimmicks, no disappointment. If you need an extra pair of controllers or just want to brighten up your console, this set is a dependable and colorful choice.
