    We bought these joycon controllers to replace the other joycon controllers my son had that got scratched up and didnt work anymore due to a faulty joy con comfort grip. So far with a new joy con comfort grip these controllers are good though sometimes my son complains that his joy con controllers are glitchy.

    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.

    My left joy con on my original Switch wouldn't stay put. It would slide out without hitting the release button on the back. I tried to repair it (with a metal switch) but I messed it up. So I was forced to get a new set. While having colored controllers for the sake of having a colored controller doesn't mean anything to me, I kind of like the neon yellow color as it really stands out. But that's just personal preference. They work great and are easy to set up. My only complaint, and I'm sure a lot of people have it, and there's really nothing you can do about it, is the price.

    Owned these about 6 weeks and no issues. They work great and the colors are awesome. They look as picture. Make sure to use the price match.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We needed extra Joy-Cons to play Mario Party Jamboree. Found these. My wife loves the colors. And of course they work great.

    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.

    I bought these controllers to be able to play Mario cart with my friends on the switch, I like how small and compact they are, very easy to take everything you need with you wherever you want to go. The colors are more vibrant than I expected them to be which is a plus!
