    I purchased this to add to our other controllers to play Mario party with our family. They were easy to pair and now my kids prefer these over their other controllers. Like all other Nintendo gear, they are well made and easy to use. Great Product.

    We have 5 kids and wanted to add some controllers so they can play more of the games together. These work perfectly and we love that you can add them together. We chose to get the multicolored ones so when you add them with the two that came with the system you can have one full blue one and one full red one!

    Quality controllers. I love having this extra pair while I have my other ones charging on the console. They also make playing games in bed comfortable when they are detached. Innovative for people like me that can't stop playing even when they're trying to go to sleep.

    My other controllers got worn out and made my charater run with out my hands on the controller. So they do wear out after like 80 hours of play, but I love my fun colored ones so I can tell the difference in which one is broken

    Left joycon not working

    Ugh Either I have awful luck or Nintendo has awful manufacturing because I has issues with the left joycon 3x in a row ! Seriously! The left joycon doesn't hold sync with Switch and inputs would be wrong . I returned it and I had the same issue with the next version. I had this issue with my launch system left joycon and had to call nintendo to fix it . That's what I did here , and they fixed it and shipped it back to me free of charge . Call 1-800-255-3700 if the controller feels to de sync and occasionally inputs are off . That being said once they do work it's nice . The HD rumble is a nice feature and more advanced motion controls work nicely . I miss a D pad but I do like you can play games with a single joycon. Now that I have 4 working joycon , I will never buy another set . Grey color looks adult and overall it's not bad . I wish it was cheaper but being able to split up and play 4 player with 2 joycon sets is nice . Battery life is fantastic. So yeah the issue with left joycon is a serious issue so that should give you caution. Maybe it's been resolved in newest controllers but still something to think about .

    My kids love the colors. They do everything I need with no stick drift. Only the Nintendo brand seems to work well with Mario party mini games.

    The switch is booming this past year, and I love it. What else do I love with it? Joy-cons. These are such cool controllers and I love variety of colors in my products. The green and pink really pop and are so vibrant. As for how well they work, just like any other Nintendo product, nearly perfect.

    Good color combo, works well. We usually have to upgrade every couple years due to use, I’d say good value !

    Bought these joycons so that the whole family could play together. We are enjoying the multiplayer Party games, and now we can play 4 at a time. They were very easy to sync with the switch. My son has even synced them to his switch lite for multiplayer fun

    Do they work out of the box, yes. Will one or both controllers get the famous Joy-Con drift problem when you are you are at most vulnerable state when you are stressed out and just need the soothing sounds of Animal Crossing but you can’t enjoy it because the controller is not acting right, also yes. I have my original set, and the one that I just purchased with Geek Squad protection. Even though Nintendo offers a free return process for the controllers long past it’s actual warranty period, the first time I got the drift it took them about a month, to send me a replacement. When they work.. they are great. But when I need them to work, my soul screams in pain. It kills me that Nintendo still hasn’t figured out a way to prevent this from happening.

    I had to replace my red and blue stock controls the switch came with because my dog found them and tore them apart. I looked online and found the Splatoon colored controls which looked awesome, the girls in the family definitely appreciated the brighter colors. They also played really well.

    I bought this extra set of joy cons about four weeks ago. They work really well and they’re really cute! They motivate me a little bit more as I play splatoon 2! :) One thing that I have noticed is that one of the joy cons seems to be slightly loose on my switch. My switch is only about two months old and I’m careful removing and putting joy cons on so I’m not sure what’s up with that. They come in handy when I need extra set of joy cons to play Mario kart with friends.

    While not the original color I was looking for ( I wanted the Yellow and Purple One) these were great. They look great on the Switch too. Haven't experienced any drift with them yet either.
