    Bought these Christmas of 2019 and one year later (12/2020) they work completely fine. No connectivity issues, they respond accurately to motion and the colors have not faded. My 12yr old is ROUGH with anything she has, so for these to still be going strong, A+. However, they are more expensive than what they need to be. 1 point for you capitalism.

    Clever controls. Very nice quality. $80 bucks is a bit much. They are tiny and hard to use when using them each as a separate controllers. But you need these in many cases. So technically for many games you are essentially getting two controllers for $80 dollars so if you don’t need the joy cons. Save a lil and get the pro controller.

    Excellent quality, easy to use and easily connect to Nintendo switch. No disconnect while playing the game in TV or console. It’s a genuine Nintendo product. My kids love it.

    Great addition to our nintendo switch. Still think they are a little pricey especially since it doesn't include the controller that cost $30 more. But they work great and I love all the different colors. I have four children and they all have their own set. Wish they would go down in price. But other than that they are great!

    Official Joycons with the requisite overprice

    They're Joycon and they work, at least for a time. Like all of them they will get drift on the analog sticks. For the price they really need to be fixed, but I wanted official joycons to maintain the form factor of the switch for my smallest available switch case.

    Only thing i can say is these are a must to buy if you want to play with multiple people at once!! I mean they do what they are meant to do... I can only say they work! But way to expensive for such things!! Nintendo likes to play hardball with their product prices!

    So far, so good. I’ve had quite a few of these over the years and they have all had drifting issues. These are the first ones I bought that are working as they should. Happy with purchase so far.

    These are amazing controllers, i like that they are wireless, very light, compact size and very responsive and holds long battery charge. It comes with a removable lanyard (highly needed when playing Mario party). In my opinion, the nintendo switch and these joycons are the best gaming family system. It adds fun times during this unforseen circumstance.

    If you own and love switch, then is a must have for a large family to play multiplayer games. Switch comes with 2, so had to buy 2 more. These are small compared to wii remotes, but fine for kids. Get them to enjoy multiplayer with entire family.

    So far they are working perfectly fine! I got these so I could have the matching color set from the original joycons. Also so I could play switch sports. The only issue I have with joycons is the ergonomics of them, definitely not the best for long gaming sessions. But, so far no issues!

    After Santa delivered a Switch, a few games and an accessory or two, all was well. That is until your wife wants to challenge you kids in Mario cart races and other Mario based games. Thus, a trip to Best Buy was in short order. Because the Switch is my sons, he chose the all gray model of controllers. My daughter's however wanted color and something different than that bratty brother. These two controllers linked up easily and provide enough access for bo one to have to sit in the "pits." Happy racing, or whatever is your game of choice. This is a must have for those who have a few kids, or great to have for sleepovers.

    You will need more joycons for your switch. Get some that your kids will like the colors of. Our daughter loves the pink one the most. They are just like the ones that came with the switch, just different colors. Only wish they were cheaper in price while maintaining the quality.

    I bought these for my Nintendo Switch because I wanted to keep the originals in tact. Nice vibrant colors and work nicely just like the originals. Comes with the straps so you can loop it onto your arm and nice to have for additional players. If you're considering buying an additional set of joy-cons I definitely recommend getting some, even if it's not in this color!
