    These are very responsive. I paired them with a charging grip and the combo is awesome. I love the new colors! Fun!

    Just needed another set of colorful joy cons and this fit the bill. Helps to have one pair of joy cons charging while the other is used in the controller for docked mode.

    You need to buy at least one of these extra packs for the Switch if you want to play with more family members and have a ‘full’ controller each. Although you can play certain games (like Fifa 18) with one part of the controller, it is more convenient for each player to have both halves.

    Good but small problem

    Standard controllers for the Switch. Best for people with smaller hands(obviously). They work great except for a small problem I'm having with the blue controller. I can't tell if it's from the set that came with the Switch or if it's this new set I bought separately but I'll explain using the Super Mario Bros game I purchased. So I pick a character, let's say I choose Mario and now I'm inside a level - ready to play it. For some reason, Mario starts moving on his own and isn't responding to me telling him to do what I want him to do (there's a lag, essentially). I know it happens with usage of the controller but still this is a problem. Nobody wants Mario jumping into the lava in Bowser's Castle. If anybody knows a fix instead of me having to buy a new set, please tell. Also wanted to add that this set was not purchased as a replacement but as an additional set to play 4 players at once.

    Old joy cons were worn down so purchased these. Like the different colors as we can distinguish from the older ones.

    These colors are amazing. Love the neon brightness of it. Red and blue are cool but dude green and pink pop out. Nice change from the black ones I have.

    Perfect Controllers

    Perfect controllers - they're made by Nintendo so as expected are just like the ones that come with the Switch. Wish they weren't so expensive, but it's kind of like 2 controllers since you can use each part of the Joycon as a standalone controller with most games. Compared to the $40-$50 I used to spend on one Xbox controller, that's not awful put in those terms. The colors are much more purple and yellow than pink/orange like it may appear on your computer/phone screen.

    If you want to play against an opponent on ARMS or you want to play 4 player on MK8 Deluxe, you need an extra pair of joycons. Switch controllers are pricey but necessary

    The controller works well, just like the others. And the colors are fun. They remind me of the witches of Wizard of Oz. Random, I know.
