    What can you say controllers are ideal. Color really makes the Switch stand out. Only negative thing about these is the price. Way too expensive.

    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.

    They work. Bought to replace the original controllers that failed after 1.5 years. Will see how these hold up too. I notice that the price has gone up quite a bit due to supply and demand.

    Joy-Cons are must haves

    Besides the pro controller, extra Joy-cons are a must have for useful multiplayer fun as using each side of a Joy con can be difficult if you have big hands.

    They lose one star for the inevitable stick drift that Nintendo refuses to address. Otherwise they're great, and really the best option versus anything third party.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    These are just as amazing as the ones that came with the console. However they are a little pricey, but for a family of four they were a must have for us!
