    Joy cons are great but absurdly expensive

    I love the idea of the Joy Cons and the fun variety of colors they offer them in, but even on sale it’s absurdly expensive. They are nearly 1/3 of the price of a new Switch. Otherwise, I very much like the feel of them.

    My original joy-cons started drifting, so I bought these. They work as they should. I think they cost more than they should, but it is what it is.

    Nintendo doesn't get enough credit for their ingenuity. They may not be considered mainstream in today's gaming world, but that's doesn't stop their competitors from trying to follow in their foot steps and failing. Xbox had the kinect which has been mostly scrapped and the Playstation had the move which has been resurrected thanks to VR. The JoyCons are essentially the next generation Wii mote and they are fantastic. I've heard complaints above size, but with my larger hands they still seem to fit just fine.

    The official nintendo joy-cons are very high quality and I have no complaints about them or their battery life. However, they are way too expensive. $80 for a game controller is just too much.

    Great price, OEM Joycons

    These are the basic, OEM Nintendo JoyCons and they work just as well as you would expect. Nintendo hardware is usually pretty premium with good quality materials and durable manufacturing - these controllers are no exception. I got my Switch with the grey controllers so no confusion adding an extra red/blue set, but even if you bought the red/blue with your Switch it's nice that these are the opposite colors (Red=L; Blue=R) than what was packaged with the console.

    I wasn't sure if we needed to get another set of joy cons for our newly purchases Switch. I'm glad we did. I think it's possible to play games with just 1 joy con but it seems you can do more with 2 joy cons used on 1 game. You can charge them on the switch or you can pick up a joy con charger. We are just using the switch as a charging station as we don't drain the batteries when we play (limiting our playing time to about 1 hr/day). The switch batteries seem to last quite a long time.
