    So I bought these just because the store didn't have the Gray Joycon Switch. That was it lol. Is it worth $80?? I don't think so. I get that it's 2 Joycons and they are wireless and new tech, but come on, $80 Nintendo??? Anyway, works great, no issues.

    Bought a Nintendo Switch for Christmas and it only came with two controllers. Since we have 2 children we needed extra controllers. I noticed these on sale at Best Buy and decided to pick them up. They work great and love the color.

    Needed another set of controllers for my switch, and I honestly didn't care what color they were, so picked these up during the black friday sales, and am loving having a second set so more people can play games when I have them over!

    These are the typical switch controllers and work just fine. Once in a great while it will lose connection but that may be where my Switch is located.

    I bought the switch but wanted to get these additional controllers so my kids can play with me! I love that they made controllers that are colorful and fun. They are a nice size and easy to use.

    So, I love the variety of game play options with this simple controller. I do recommend the optional controller cradle though. They are very small if you have large hands. And the left stick placement is unfortunate. It’s really close to the menu button

    Goes perfectly with the Switch. I like how the system recognizes the colors you are using when attached. No issues thus far. Can be separated to play as two separate controllers when necessary for multiplayer games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

    We had problems with the original set of controllers, the games scrolled by them selves. Theses are doing much better and got Geek Squad so if they start doing it they will be replaced or fixed no problem.

    Picked these up as a backup pair for my Nintendo switch so I could play multi-player games like Super Mario Party. Best Buy honored a price match, so an even added bonus. Colors of each joycon are vibrant and fun. Necessary for your Switch gaming needs!

    It is always good to have extra controllers. The Nintendo Switch has so many multiplayer games you need to get an additional set. This are great because you can tell them apart from the black ones that come with the game.

    So, what happens when your child's joy-cons have reached their shelf life? Easy, replace with the Nintendo Joy-Con wireless controllers. There are several colors to choose from that will make the experience brand new all over again!

    Works well for all games. Seems to be worth the extra money versus the aftermarket options which are condisiderably less expensive.

    A must have for Nintendo Switch. I got this for party use and they work just perfectly out of box. One thing to mention, don’t forget to update the firmware of both controllers at first use to avoid some issues.
