    I got the joy cons early before the package was supposed to be here and they are in great condition and I’m loving them! They are very useful for people who suffer joy con drift.

    They work, on & off the tablet part of the device, but they look a bit different than the picture on the box? Not sure if my son knows they look like this.

    Purchased the item as an "Open Box - Excellent" condition item. Left it connected to the base for hours and only one of the Joy-Cons are charging. The other one is dead/useless. Since i had to wait to receive the main system I couldn't test before the 15 day return window. Basically wasted half my money.

    The Neon Purple/Neon Orange pair reliably delivers exactly what it promises. These controllers do what they’re supposed to do—connect seamlessly, respond quickly, and give you the flexibility to play however you like, whether docked, handheld, or in tabletop mode. The wireless connectivity is rock solid, syncing instantly with the console and staying responsive during gameplay. Motion controls, HD rumble, and gyro aiming all work without a hitch, just as expected from official Nintendo hardware. The buttons are responsive, and the analog sticks feel accurate and smooth—ideal for everything from platformers to party games. A bonus is the bold color scheme. The Neon Purple and Neon Orange combination stands out in a great way, adding a burst of personality to your Switch setup. It’s a small aesthetic touch that makes the gaming experience feel more fun and customized. In short, these Joy-Cons do exactly what they’re advertised to do—no gimmicks, no disappointment. If you need an extra pair of controllers or just want to brighten up your console, this set is a dependable and colorful choice.

    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.

    The Joy-Con Left and Right Wireless Controllers for the Nintendo Switch have proven to be an exceptional gaming accessory, earning a well-deserved 5-star rating. These compact controllers not only enhance the gaming experience but also offer unmatched versatility and functionality. First and foremost, the Joy-Con controllers are incredibly comfortable to hold. Their ergonomic design fits snugly in my hands, providing a natural and effortless grip during long gaming sessions. The buttons are responsive and well-placed, ensuring smooth and accurate gameplay. Whether I'm engaging in high-intensity battles or playing casual games, the controllers offer precise control and an immersive experience. One of the standout features of the Joy-Con controllers is their wireless capability. The freedom to detach them from the console and play wirelessly adds a whole new level of convenience and flexibility. It allows me to find the most comfortable position while gaming, whether it's sitting on the couch or lounging in bed. The wireless range is impressive, ensuring a stable connection even when I'm a bit farther away from the console. The Joy-Con controllers offer unique features that set them apart. The HD Rumble technology provides tactile feedback, enhancing immersion and adding a new dimension to gameplay. It's remarkable how the controllers can simulate subtle vibrations or more pronounced sensations, making gaming experiences truly come alive. The built-in motion controls further expand gameplay possibilities, enabling intuitive movements and gestures for a more interactive and engaging experience. Another impressive aspect of the Joy-Con controllers is their versatility. Each controller can function independently, serving as a fully functional mini-controller for multiplayer gaming. This means I can easily share one set of Joy-Con controllers with friends or family for exciting local multiplayer battles or cooperative gameplay. The ability to use them as separate controllers or attach them to the console for a more traditional gaming setup gives me the best of both worlds. Battery life is always a concern with wireless controllers, but the Joy-Con controllers excel in this aspect. They boast a decent battery life that allows for extended gaming sessions before needing a recharge. Additionally, the controllers charge quickly when attached to the Switch console, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum gaming enjoyment. Lastly, the Joy-Con controllers are backed by Nintendo's renowned build quality and reliability. They are sturdy and built to withstand the rigors of gaming, ensuring long-lasting durability and performance. The seamless integration with the Nintendo Switch ecosystem and the support from an extensive library of games further solidify their value. In conclusion, the Joy-Con Left and Right Wireless Controllers are an essential accessory for any Nintendo Switch gamer. Their comfort, wireless capability, unique features, versatility, impressive battery life, and reliable performance make them a perfect companion for immersive gaming experiences. Whether playing solo or engaging in multiplayer battles, these controllers deliver on every front. They have earned their 5-star rating and continue to be an integral part of my gaming setup.

    My other controllers got worn out and made my charater run with out my hands on the controller. So they do wear out after like 80 hours of play, but I love my fun colored ones so I can tell the difference in which one is broken

    I bought these controllers in-store when I picked up the Nintendo Switch Neon that I ordered online. It was easy and convenient to find everything in one place. This way, my kids could choose something they liked. I like that from Best Buy!
