    One set of controllers isn't enough, other than price, the functionality of these joycons are really great.

    Nintendo's Least Durable Controller

    Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is my third set of joy-con controllers that I've owned over 3 years of owning a Switch. Each set was replaced or exchanged due to the low durability of the joy sticks, the first two sets each lasted about a year before showing issues. This set, supposedly made after Nintendo made improvements to their build quality, started to have issues with joysticks after only 2 months of use! Fortunately Nintendo repaired the controllers free of charge, but still required shipping items and waiting for repair center to ship controllers back. Since these controllers are practically necessary for the Switch, I have a few suggestions for maintaining and protecting these controllers: avoid playing games that require aggressive use of joysticks (Smash Bros), consider purchasing Pro controller for use in docked or table top mode, and consider purchasing Geek Squad protection in case Nintendo does not honor manufacturers warranty.

    Always get Nintendo controllers over 3rd party. They work as advertised and look good too.

    Needed another pair of joy cons for my gf. Bought this one and it’s great. One thing I wish was better, it doesn’t hold a charge for long. Don’t use them all the time, seems to die quickly.

    Only a couple of months in and both my left and right joycons make a “creaking” sound, like the springs are getting snagged when i move the joysticks. I dont wven know if there is a process for getting them fixed

    Price is a bit high, but it does add two additional players in theory so you're allllmost getting two controllers a box.

    They don’t hold as long of a charge as I expected and they lost charge when not being used for a time - I think that is how joycons are in general! Definitely worth getting a multi joycon charger! Fun to have multicolored options for controllers.
