    I bought this extra set of switch controllers to play Nintendo games with my kids. Now the whole family can play together. I decided to buy this original set of controllers because it works better, it is more reliable and it looks nicer.

    I’ve had a good experience with open box items from Best Buy before. However do NOT buy open box joy cons unless you want to end up paying more to fix issues that’ll end up with you might as well buying brand new ones. The pair I bought clearly were not inspected properly before being marked as open box excellent. The box shows L red R blue, I received L blue and R red. The rubber covers on the joy sticks were both missing. And to top it off, the L joystick came with major major drift issues right out of the box. It’s clear to me that they didn’t test them before marking them as excellent because their condition is fair at best.

    I has a little hesitant about getting this one, since I wasn’t hyped about the orange joy-con. I was wrong, the combination of purple and orange look great. The controllers have a matte finish.

    The switch controller is ONLY good for playing simple games. If you plan on playing first person shooters, do yourself a favor and buy a controller. I will say, the motion ability of these is pretty fun. Using the controller template really sucks, and the joycons feel cheap.

    The Nintendo switch joy cons are a good switch from the red and blue joy cons, The gray joy cons are really a sleek and compliment the Nintendo switches color.

    These blue joycons look very nice. They work as the normal ones, but the color is very bright and doesnt wear off. Which is great. I think there the best looking color joycons they have.
