    It is awesome to have the opposite sides for the original joy cons so that I can have matching ones.

    I needed some more joy cons so that we could play Mario Kart. Since Nintendo makes the only ones, these are exactly what I needed. I would love if they came on more colors but I do like they match the colors on my switch.

    Had to replace the older ones that came with the unit due to the controllers moving on their own. Tried to fix the older grips with no luck. Bought these new ones and the kids are happy playing switch again

    One of the switch joycons from the original set was broken. Looked into getting a pair of 3rd party joycons. There are a lot on the market and they are much cheaper. But in the end decided to go with the low risk alternative and get the Nintendo Joy Cons. Makes the Switch look cool with Halloween colors!

    The 4 star rating is not do to anything dealing with Best Buy. They were great with everything involved with the purchase of the Joycons. I subtracted a star because even though my wife loves her Nintendo Switch, the Joycons just don't hold up as long as I think they should. My wife plays on it a lot, but the joysticks have a tendency over time to get to where they lose the ability to keep your character from moving even if your not touching them. Which can be problematic in certain games. This is a known issue and still has yet to be fixed by Nintendo. I still recommend them because it does take awhile for this to happen, but at $70 I expected a bit more.

    Joycons are a little pricy, but if you're going for a good 4 player experience in Mario Kart or Smash they're a must buy if you only have 2 joycons. Build quality is pretty good, some of the features that make them pricy aren't always used, but they're controllers, and they work well.

    We purchased this after Santa brought Mario Party and Mario Kart. The controllers work just as the stock ones would. I would love it if there were more color options but I wouldn’t take a star away for that.

    Bought a switch for the kids for Christmas, and had to have another set of controllers so the whole family could play. These controllers work great and match the color of the console.

    these are the same as the originals but different colors. The colors are vibrant. This is our 2nd set (adding to a total of 6 controllers) all original Nintendo-manufactured controllers. We have yet to see if it no longer has the drift issue present with the earlier released versions when used a lot thus taking off one star.

    If you're looking for Joy Cons that are bright and really pop I advise you to get these. These Joy Cons look great and work as they should. It's like purchasing 1 controller with the ability to become 2!

    A Must Have

    An extra set of Joy-Cons is a must have. I highly recommend buying them. Many of the games allow 2 to 8 players. If your playing alone & your Joy-Cons need 2 B charged... you'll have the extra set to continue on playing.
