    Product functions really well no complaints about using it for games. My only frustration is that the little parts can break pretty easily making it necessary to purchase again.

    My daughter was wanting a second pair, and I picked these up, and she was elated. It's nice to have an extra set of Joy-Cons, especially when playing multiplayer games. I would buy them again.

    Having to buy them in pairs means its a little pricier then other consoles controllers but then again there's a lo of games now where each player needs only one joycons so it's still a great value

    I'll just review the color, since you should know if you need or want a Joycon. It's actually kind of awesome. It's a unique shade and almost looks like it should glow in the dark. I love it; it's exactly what I wanted.

    Got these as a replacement for the original switch joy cons which my son broke by dropping them too often. These do what they are supposed to do.

    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.

    Expensive but worth it. They blend in with the Switch and I prefer that more than the red/blue combo. The controllers come with the straps which are easy to attach and use.

    These work great as replacement. Pro tip: buy the protection plan because these will never last 2 years before you are replacubg them again.

    I bought the extra Joy-con wireless controllers so that my granddaughters can play with their friends. It’s a good idea to have extra controllers so that at least four players can play....and there will be no fighting.
