    These are great controllers and I love the colors but they are not immune to eventual stick drift. Nintendo will fix them for free but it takes weeks. Other than that, they work as advertised.

    Mixed Review - Joy-Con misfunctioned w/in 2 weeks

    I have a mixed review of these Joy-Cons. On one hand, they are a great engineering concept (and obviously they're a necessity to use with the Switch). However, the only reason we bought these replacements is because one of the Joy-Cons on my son's Switch (which we just bought 6 months ago) began to malfunction. On his games, the joystick would just move in one direction. We tried blowing air into it, cleaning it, and recalibrating it. Finally, I figured it was time to take it apart and figure out what was wrong with it. However, Nintendo has some proprietary tri-screws on the back of these Joy-Cons, which I had no luck finding at Best Buy, Home Depot, MicroCenter, nor GameStop. Rather than ordering a screwdriver from Nintendo, I relinquished and bought these $70 replacements. Within 2 weeks, one of these Joy-Cons began to malfunction in the same manner, although not as bad (YET!). We have engrained into my son's head that if he ever breaks the Switch, there is no replacement. Hence, he is very careful with it and doesn't play rough, doesn't toss the controllers, doesn't spill drinks on them, etc. So I'm not really sure why this is occuring. Regardless, you can't really play the Switch without these controllers, so not much I can do. I'll probably eventually take one apart and see what's going on beneath the surface. Just be forewarned that this is the 2nd occurrence of this issue for us within 6 months. I already found the $70 price point to be a bit excessive for a game controller, so I will definitely not be buying a 3rd set and will have to deal with fixing these on my own.

    Official Joycons with the requisite overprice

    They're Joycon and they work, at least for a time. Like all of them they will get drift on the analog sticks. For the price they really need to be fixed, but I wanted official joycons to maintain the form factor of the switch for my smallest available switch case.

    I just got them because I needed more controls to play on the Switch. The colors are cool, the girlfriend choose them. If it was up to me I would’ve gotten them in black. The fruity colors make them pop.

    They work great and my son gets lots of compliments on the colors. I don’t like his expensive they are but we had to buy replacements as the originals were acting up.
