    Cool colors

    I wasn't as excited about the colors when I bought them online but due to the shortage I bought whatever was available. To my surprise, the colors are actually pretty cool! I would have preferred the blue and red. But as extra controllers go, they are cool. I have had them for over a month with a great deal of usage and haven't had any issues with drifting. Only think that doesn't make it a "great" rating for me is the price!

    Joycons are notorious for having drift and the joysicks on these have yet to wear out, which is saying something

    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.

    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.

    These are a must have for one of my favorite games on the Nintendo Switch- Just Dance! I had to get an extra set of controllers so more people can join in on the fun! Make sure you wear the straps that come with the box otherwise it will slip right out of your hands as you fling your arms in the air dancing!

    Works as they should. none of them are built to last so be prepared to replace them at least yearly if the game is played often like my sons is.

    Good pair of joycons with no drift issues. The pink is pretty dark though, you'd think it was just red unless you have another red one next to it.

    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.

    Great colors. And a bit of a wide variety of colors works great. And dont have to worry about getting them mixed up with other controllers. The minecraft game is good. And has a lot of different routes to take. And to play.

    I like having extra controllers because when I get together with my whole family we can each have a different color. They work great and haven’t had any issues.

    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.

    I purchased a second set of joycons for multiplayer. One cool feature is that the Switch can tell what color the joycon is and display that on the screen. This is useful for multiplayer games! One drawback is that there isn't an easy way to charge these out of the box. You can put them on the Switch to recharge, but there's no separate cable.

    Great out of the box. Wish I didn't have to buy new ones because mine started having drift and were unrepairable. The price is ridiculous for when you can just get a full wireless controller for the same price.

    They are amazing with a slight disappointment

    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.
