    I got 12 months from the first set of controllers

    With an average of 10 hours use per week, I wore out the joy stick on the left controller from holding it in position for extended periods of time. The spring back action got weak and the on-screen character kept moving after I released the joy stick. Al other buttons and the right joy stick still work fine. Compared to other systems I have owned over the years, I feel 12 months life is above average. It would be nice if the L & R switch controllers could be purchased separately or were less expensive.

    You need em but they should do better

    These joysticks start getting drift and becoming non responsive way faster than any other controllers I’ve had from different consoles. Playing crash bandicoot is difficult because I don’t feel they are as sensitive as PS4 controllers. For the price point, it seems like we are getting ripped off here. The only good thing is that you can send them in for repair which Nintendo does very quickly in my opinion. I like that they offer some fun colors in these and that they are very easy to use. I do wish they made bigger ones. I’m pretty small (5’2) and sometimes my hands cramp up I’ve I’m playing animal crossing for too many hours. Overall, I’ve owned a switch for almost 5 years and I’ve gone through 3 pairs and had them repaired through Nintendo. This is my fourth pair so we’ll see how long it lasts before needing repair. Each pair I’ve purchased previously has ended up with drift issues. You’ll need these controllers because you can’t play your switch without them but they’re not great and I wish Nintendo would release something way better but oh well.

    No Compatibility Issues

    Because these are both right and left original replacement joy-cons by Nintendo there is no compatibility issue when using to replace broken joy-cons and the Switch can be used immediately. However, the joy-cons do break fairly easily if dropped on a hard surface and this can happen to anyone. I think they could, and should, be made a little more rugged but I guess this is one of the ways the Nintendo makes their money. If you purchase this set to replace one broken joy-con, if the other one breaks, you have a spare. I'm not crazy about the price as well.

    Of all the joy-cons I've seen, these are my favorite. They feel pretty much identical to others, including the ones in the box, but the color is great! It goes very well with the Switch console. Pairing with the main console was simple, easy, and quick, and all of the controls work excellently. Build quality is also great, with all of the buttons and whatnot having a quality feel. They're a little expensive, but they're a great investment!

    I love the idea of the Joy Cons and the fun variety of colors they offer them in, but even on sale it’s absurdly expensive. They are nearly 1/3 of the price of a new Switch. Otherwise, I very much like the feel of them.

    The Joy-Cons are smaller than I would like, but that doesn't mean they aren't comfortable. These colors also pop really well. Love it.

    The controllers are well designed, but better for smaller hands. I bought these as a gift and the price has gone up quite a bit since the last time I bought these.
