    So far, so good. Our original controllers developed drift which it sounds like they’ve addressed with newer controllers. They’ve held up for more than half a year at this point.

    Ordered these while they were on back order and when they finally arrived it was completely worth the wait. I thought I wasn't going to look the orange as much but the color is much denser in person compared to photos online and goes with the purple so well.

    These are much better than the original joycons I got with the console. Specifically, I was experiencing drift in the left hand joycon, a common complaint.

    Just got a couple to replace the original that came with the console two years ago. They still work fine but the left stick is losing some accuracy. So I can still use them to play party games and such. These can be a bit expensive, so I bought them during a holiday sale.

    Fun color options for the controllers. The purple is a deeper purple than pictured. The orange controller is a deeper orange as well than pictured.

    Basic: Beware of Drift

    If you are getting these to fix your joycon drift just beware that these controllers still pose the risk of drift. Luckily I have never had a drifting problem and just got these to have extra controllers. They have been great so far and no drift but I also think joycon controllers are extremely overpriced for how basic they are.

    The tech behind these is great. I literally can lay on the couch in any position, upside down, backwards, my hands on either side of the room, and I can still play the switch. I was slightly disappointed that they become less responsive occasionally when held behind a body part (usually a leg while I have my knees tucked on the couch). I have to reposition myself get get the connection back. This is rare, though, and I absolutely LOVE MY SWITCH. So that's that.

    It took about 3 years of solid gameplay to start experiencing stick drift. Bought a new pair of joy cons to replace them.

    Power in the Palm of My Hands

    Small enough to fit comfortably in my hand, yet large enough in its scale of diversity, the "Joy-Con (L/R) Wireless Controllers for Nintendo Switch" has enhanced the way I play games. Whether it's horizontal, vertical, with a grip, or free, each position is designed to fit ergonomically, which enables me the freedom to play for countless hours at a time. Of all the consoles I've owned, the Nintendo Switch's controllers have to be my favorite by far. --With that said, I have to be light-handed/delicate when using Nintendo's Joy-Cons as to avoid the notorious "Joy-Con Drift"; however, Nintendo offers free repairs for this issue & will refund anyone who's been charged, to fix the defect, in the past. --I thinks that's a pretty good deal should I ever experience this issue myself. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my new pair. Cheers!

    These were replacements for the originals. Maybe it's me learning how to take care of them better, but these have held up much better. Or maybe it's because I got the insurance. It's like taking the car in for a noise that stops when you arrive.

    These work well but the straps are hard to remove

    I love that you get two controllers in one with these Joy-Con. With these and the ones that come with the Switch you basically have 4 controllers, which in my case is enough for the whole household. I bought a second Comfort Grip to go along with these as well. I intend to get the Charging Dock once it comes out so I can charge all 4 at the same time and so I don't have to mess with my Switch unless I am using it in handheld mode. I did take one star off because I have a really hard time removing the straps.

    I feel like it brings me back to my childhood a little bit... Where the green N-64 controller was always the one I got to use (my older brother got Blue and little brother had yellow). The joy-cons are fun and colorful, we have a couple sets so we have a totally red and totally blue controller. Love em!

    Was experiencing drift after a few years with the joycon that came with my Switch (gray). I bought these to use while my original set was being repaired. I love the vibrant color, it makes them easy to spot. I sometimes wish they would come packaged with matching left and right joycon, instead of two different colors, but I am very pleased with these. I've had them for a year, and no drift on this new set yet. I am considering maybe a new set with different colors!

    The left blue that came with the switch did not work going straight up or down playhing Pikmin 3 deluxe. Don't think it was a drift issue. But these work perfectly. Now sending the original to nintendo for repair. My son really likes the colors.

    Works perfectly! I originally bought the grey joycons due to the Switch being sold out at the time, and always wanted the original colors. Now the family has 4 joycons and we can all play Mario Party together.
