    No drift so far. Beautiful color. Better than the previous ones to be honest.

    They're joy-con. Love 'em or hate 'em, they're exactly as advertised. It could be my imagination, or maybe the fact that I played with my original ones for hundreds of hours before getting a second set, but these seem to be even more well-made and slightly more hefty than the ones that came with my Switch. I don't know if there have been any hardware changes to the Joy-con since I bought my Switch last March, and it very well could just be in my head, but they feel nice and it's great to have an extra pair around when I have friends over to play ARMS. I bought a charging base that charges two joycon and one pro controller, and I rotate out which joy-con are attached to my Switch and which ones are loose so they're being used evenly to hopefully increase their lifespan. It's really nice to be able to keep a pair connected to the Switch and have another pair to use when in docked mode, since some games feel really nice with the joy-con rather than the pro controller, and I can still just pull my Switch out of its dock with the other pair already attached. It's a great way to keep all four charged too, since they charge on the Switch in its dock as well as on the separate base.

    My original Joy Cons that came with the console were pretty worn out and had really bad drift at this point. These new ones feel great and work exactly as they should. The change in color is kinda fun too, makes the console feel newer even though it's 5 years old!

    These controllers are great. Drift is a real issue but the original ones last way longer than the knockoffs, so they're worth the extra money.

    Pros- easy to use and very responsive Cons- not a huge fan of either color,knowing Nintendo they will have lots of "special " editions. These work great and are very easy to get used to. However, I'm not a fan of either of the launch color sets and there will probably be quite a few new sets coming out in the next 6 months. Stick with the launch controls until you see one you really want. The price is too high to buy more than one pair.

    Great controllers. Amazing colors. A bit expensive but it’s worth it. Before this purchase I bought some off Amazon. Worst decision since they only lasted me 6 months.

    I got this pair of joycon so that we can play multiplayer games on Switch. Theses are identical to the set which came with the Switch. The colors are nice. I chose a different set of colors from my original joycons so that I can easily differentiate them. Everything works as it’s designed. I would recommend getting the original NES joycon instead of third party ones.

    A Good Idea To Have

    Seamlessly fit with my Animal Crossing Console screen, though not the dock. A good idea to have as back up for when your joy con batteries run out, want to play with another, or just in case something happens to your systems own controllers. I feel better knowing I have them and use them in place of my collector joy cons often to preserve them.

    These let us play the New Super Mario Brothers game as a family of four, and have a backup controller for other games. It would be nice if the set came with the piece that connects them to form a single controller like the set that comes with the Switch itself.

    Bought them bc i had my orginal ones still and the drift got so bad I couldnt take it anymore. These were the best looking color combo imo and they look better in real life, so im happy with them.

    Clever controls. Very nice quality. $80 bucks is a bit much. They are tiny and hard to use when using them each as a separate controllers. But you need these in many cases. So technically for many games you are essentially getting two controllers for $80 dollars so if you don’t need the joy cons. Save a lil and get the pro controller.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
