    When I received my package, I opened it only to find two used left side remotes. Disgusting.. especially with this pandemic going on! I quickly took it into a store near me for an exchange!

    Drift is still bad, even in newer joycons. Both of these now have drift and we have put them in the drift drawer with 10 other joycons.

    The only thing that keeps this or any of the joycon controllers from receiving 5 stars is how cheaply they're made. We shouldn't have to pay this much for easily broken plastic.

    Purchased with a warranty as Nintendos Quality Control is absolutely terrible. Ended up with joystick drift after 6+ months, ended up returning and swapping it out with a brand new pair, with another warranty. Nintendo is in the middle of a class action lawsuit with how shoddily made these things are. When you buy them, ABSOLUTELY spring for the extra geek squad warranty. You will regret not doing so!

    Good controllers Nintendo made but sometimes after awhile they tend to start getting loose. They start coming out by themselves, without hitting the button on the back of the switch.

    I have replaced so many of these! I don't know if it's my kids or the the controllers. I just quit buying them and bought the controller that resembles the xbox controller.

    like the color, works until it doesn't. Click a button and nothing happens. Read tons of articles online to try and get it to work better. Works well sometimes when it wants 2

    They joy. They con. They're a controller. They still get drift after awhile I assume because they haven't redesigned the control stick, but at least big N will fix them for free.
