    Flexible but not comfortable

    I do really love the flexibility of the joycons (use on console in portable mode, use in grip like a "full" controller, use individually in some games that support that). That said, as a man with meaty hands, they are not very comfortable to use over time. The sticks feel really loose in shooters like Splatoon or TPA like Zelda and for me and the buttons are small and hurt to press in games like Mario Kart where the A button is the accelerator (and thus pressed for 99% of racing). I mean you do really need these to get the most of the Switch and the flexibility is great but whenever I'm at home, I grab the pro controller instead (except in games like Arms where you use the joycons to punch while in each hand). So, it's a good idea to get a 2nd set of joycons for games like arms or party games with users that don't really know how to use a gamepad.

    Easy to sync up and use. A little spendy for two little joycons but Works seamlessly and can take a fall on the floor.

    they are brighter in color than in the picture, which was a welcome surprise! Nintendo really ought to bring the prices down since they experience drift so often the need to replace is inevitable.

    Needed 2 extra controllers for Mario Party as that game will only let you use the JoyCons. They work great and the neon is fun. =)

    Love the colors for the joycon. They work amazing, however just a warning the red joycon is more like a red orange to me Versus a true red.

    These joycons look and play perfectly and if I didn't know any better I would have thought they were brand new. I purchased the 2 year warranty as well and I'm not sure if I'll ever actually get to use it but it's mainly for peace of mind since the original's only lasted a couple months after the 1 year warranty expired. Anyway these are perfect without the bloated prices and we highly recommend these over brand new. I'll update my review if these die or start having problems. Hope this helps, thanks.

    Great 2nd set for Switch

    I was able to get my hands on the Nintendo Switch Splatoon bundle with the Neon Green and Neon Pink controllers. So what color would be best for the second set of controllers?? I thought Neon Yellow would work out perfectly, and I was right. I use them alone on the console and also like to swap them out with the existing joy-cons. Yellow/Pink and Green/Yellow. Some people like the plain gray look appliance look, and I suppose it does look more mature, but personally, I like the highlighter colors I've selected. And even better, you rarely see them in use.

    These controllers were purchased so we could all play Mario kart. Colors are vibrant. But they are so small for youthe hands. Its takes a while to get used to them. They are super sensitive to the touch. But for almost 80 dollars, I think they are over priced.
