    Solid controllers all around. My only problem is that they feel kind of like a toy because of the plastic used on the housing and buttons. But they are, for the most part, reliable. Haven't had the famous stick drift issue just yet, but it's only a matter of time.

    As with the construction and design of the Switch Joycons, they are built to take the brunt of a drop and protect the screen and main part of the system. Unfortunately that means the tiny plastic piece that causes the joycon to lock into place on the main part of the swtich body tends to break fairly easily. Having a spare joycon or twon will come in handy. Just wish nintendo sold them a little chaeaper or made the single joycon packs easier to find.

    If you have friends you should buy an extra pair of joy-cons. I personally have gotten much use out of a spare set, and have yet to get the infamous drift issue after a year of use.

    They're joy-con. Love 'em or hate 'em, they're exactly as advertised. It could be my imagination, or maybe the fact that I played with my original ones for hundreds of hours before getting a second set, but these seem to be even more well-made and slightly more hefty than the ones that came with my Switch. I don't know if there have been any hardware changes to the Joy-con since I bought my Switch last March, and it very well could just be in my head, but they feel nice and it's great to have an extra pair around when I have friends over to play ARMS. I bought a charging base that charges two joycon and one pro controller, and I rotate out which joy-con are attached to my Switch and which ones are loose so they're being used evenly to hopefully increase their lifespan. It's really nice to be able to keep a pair connected to the Switch and have another pair to use when in docked mode, since some games feel really nice with the joy-con rather than the pro controller, and I can still just pull my Switch out of its dock with the other pair already attached. It's a great way to keep all four charged too, since they charge on the Switch in its dock as well as on the separate base.

    A Good Idea To Have

    Seamlessly fit with my Animal Crossing Console screen, though not the dock. A good idea to have as back up for when your joy con batteries run out, want to play with another, or just in case something happens to your systems own controllers. I feel better knowing I have them and use them in place of my collector joy cons often to preserve them.

    My Old Joy-Cons had the dreaded Joy-Con Drift. What I came to realize is these controllers were 5 years old. Also, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch OLED use the same controllers. Note, it doesn't matter the color either.

    I got this pair of joycon so that we can play multiplayer games on Switch. Theses are identical to the set which came with the Switch. The colors are nice. I chose a different set of colors from my original joycons so that I can easily differentiate them. Everything works as it’s designed. I would recommend getting the original NES joycon instead of third party ones.
