    They work. Bought to replace the original controllers that failed after 1.5 years. Will see how these hold up too. I notice that the price has gone up quite a bit due to supply and demand.

    They lose one star for the inevitable stick drift that Nintendo refuses to address. Otherwise they're great, and really the best option versus anything third party.

    These controllers work great! They were as a good value for 2. I like that they are wireless and easy to charge.

    I love the Nintendo Switch system but I'm less enthused about the Joy-Cons. They have a tendency for the sticks to develop drift in a more faster means than your average controller with larger sticks, requiring more care to keep in shape. They're also a bit awkward to handle thanks to that stick placement. Honestly, if the kinds of games you and your fellow players (friends, family, whatever) require them, these are fine, but I'd rather use Pro Controllers or similar options for more traditional games on the Switch. AMAZING choice of colors though! Can't go wrong with the many vibrant choices Nintendo offers and this is probably my favorite combination.

    These are like all the other Nintendo Switch Joy Cons except a different color. I had been waiting to buy a second pair of Joy Cons for a while but other than the Neon Yellow, I didn't really like the colors available. I had hope to be able to get two neon green Joy Cons but unfortunately, they aren't sold in pairs. Having a Neon Green and Neon Green Joy Cons ended up working well for me. Now my niece always wants to use the pink Joy Con while my nephew always wants to use the green one. No more arguing over who gets the right one and who gets the left one.

    What can you say controllers are ideal. Color really makes the Switch stand out. Only negative thing about these is the price. Way too expensive.

    If you have a game that can have multiple player it will be a nice addition. Nice to switch up the colors of the controller as well. **pdp gel protector sold separately

    Joy-Cons are must haves

    Besides the pro controller, extra Joy-cons are a must have for useful multiplayer fun as using each side of a Joy con can be difficult if you have big hands.

    An unfortunate necessity

    I, like many others, prefer playing the Switch in handheld mode. Unfortunately, this means being at the mercy of the Joy-Cons. I have had a ton of issues with these, specifically the left Joy-Cons. I am now on my fifth pair. The first had a de-sync issue which Nintendo repaired. The second had an issue where pushing the left stick all the way up wouldn't fully register so characters would just walk instead of run. The third had an issue where even when I wasn't touching the left stick, the character would walk left by themselves. Then the fourth immediately had a mushy feel to the L button and the left stick made a clicking sound right out of the box. Issues 2 and 3 happened just outside of Nintendo's one year warranty, so I had no choice but to purchase a new pair. Nintendo really should not be charging $80 for these as they are cheaply made. They claim that it's actually 2 controllers, but the single Joy-Con functionality is way too limited for that to be true. I really cannot recommend these. So many have had issues with them, and they are far too overpriced for what you get. Of course, if you play mainly in handheld mode, you really have no other choice. If you are trying to decide between these or a Pro Controller for docked mode, stay far away from these and just get the Pro Controller.

    Needed more controllers for multiplayer games. Really like the colors, and it makes it easier to know who each controller belongs to
