    Swapped this out with my original controllers in case of breakage or drift. I have a special edition Switch and the controllers are not easy to replace if it breaks. Works as intended so no complaints. Wish it wasn’t so pricey though.

    My left joy con on my original Switch wouldn't stay put. It would slide out without hitting the release button on the back. I tried to repair it (with a metal switch) but I messed it up. So I was forced to get a new set. While having colored controllers for the sake of having a colored controller doesn't mean anything to me, I kind of like the neon yellow color as it really stands out. But that's just personal preference. They work great and are easy to set up. My only complaint, and I'm sure a lot of people have it, and there's really nothing you can do about it, is the price.

    I love the Nintendo Switch system but I'm less enthused about the Joy-Cons. They have a tendency for the sticks to develop drift in a more faster means than your average controller with larger sticks, requiring more care to keep in shape. They're also a bit awkward to handle thanks to that stick placement. Honestly, if the kinds of games you and your fellow players (friends, family, whatever) require them, these are fine, but I'd rather use Pro Controllers or similar options for more traditional games on the Switch. AMAZING choice of colors though! Can't go wrong with the many vibrant choices Nintendo offers and this is probably my favorite combination.

    I bought these controllers to be able to play Mario cart with my friends on the switch, I like how small and compact they are, very easy to take everything you need with you wherever you want to go. The colors are more vibrant than I expected them to be which is a plus!

    An unfortunate necessity

    I, like many others, prefer playing the Switch in handheld mode. Unfortunately, this means being at the mercy of the Joy-Cons. I have had a ton of issues with these, specifically the left Joy-Cons. I am now on my fifth pair. The first had a de-sync issue which Nintendo repaired. The second had an issue where pushing the left stick all the way up wouldn't fully register so characters would just walk instead of run. The third had an issue where even when I wasn't touching the left stick, the character would walk left by themselves. Then the fourth immediately had a mushy feel to the L button and the left stick made a clicking sound right out of the box. Issues 2 and 3 happened just outside of Nintendo's one year warranty, so I had no choice but to purchase a new pair. Nintendo really should not be charging $80 for these as they are cheaply made. They claim that it's actually 2 controllers, but the single Joy-Con functionality is way too limited for that to be true. I really cannot recommend these. So many have had issues with them, and they are far too overpriced for what you get. Of course, if you play mainly in handheld mode, you really have no other choice. If you are trying to decide between these or a Pro Controller for docked mode, stay far away from these and just get the Pro Controller.

    Needed extra remotes for my brother's switch and these were the perfect ones. Always better to go for the OEM as opposed to 3rd party accessories.

    The battery life is great, portability, usability, everything. Yeah it's pricey but it's essentially two controllers and that's the same price as one Wiimote and less than ps4 and Xbox one controller. Buttons are responsive, color looks good, and the grips are great too. Definitely recommend if you have lots of people to play the switch with especially for upcoming games like Mario kart 8, Arms, Etc.

    They are like the Neon ones, but just black! That said, great to have a second pair incase your main ones have no juice or you want to play some 2 player action!

    Perfect Controllers

    Perfect controllers - they're made by Nintendo so as expected are just like the ones that come with the Switch. Wish they weren't so expensive, but it's kind of like 2 controllers since you can use each part of the Joycon as a standalone controller with most games. Compared to the $40-$50 I used to spend on one Xbox controller, that's not awful put in those terms. The colors are much more purple and yellow than pink/orange like it may appear on your computer/phone screen.
