Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far, so good. Our original controllers developed drift which it sounds like they’ve addressed with newer controllers. They’ve held up for more than half a year at this point.

Fun color options for the controllers. The purple is a deeper purple than pictured. The orange controller is a deeper orange as well than pictured.

Very great controllers I now have enough to play with 4 people. The pink looks a lot like the original red

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 controllers! Right size and good battery live. Strong enough for kids daily usage.

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!

Ordered these while they were on back order and when they finally arrived it was completely worth the wait. I thought I wasn't going to look the orange as much but the color is much denser in person compared to photos online and goes with the purple so well.

[Employee of bestbuy] Great quality and fast shipping! My boyfriends brother broke his joy one and the new ones arrived within a few days

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.

had the main controller drifting to the right but this was easy to install and use right away and now I have full control over the games again!

It took about 3 years of solid gameplay to start experiencing stick drift. Bought a new pair of joy cons to replace them.

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.

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.

Work great, my kids like the colors, leaving the white joycons for Dads personal use

A must have to play against more players. Nintendo never disappoints and neither does best buy when having the products some how some way for customers.

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.

Was experiencing drift after a few years with the joycon that came with my Switch (gray). I bought these to use while my original set was being repaired. I love the vibrant color, it makes them easy to spot. I sometimes wish they would come packaged with matching left and right joycon, instead of two different colors, but I am very pleased with these. I've had them for a year, and no drift on this new set yet. I am considering maybe a new set with different colors!

Works perfectly! I originally bought the grey joycons due to the Switch being sold out at the time, and always wanted the original colors. Now the family has 4 joycons and we can all play Mario Party together.

These aren't my favorite controllers, but they get the job done and they are unique to the system. I'm learning to use them, but I prefer the classic Nintendo 64 feel.
