    My Nintendo switch never looked better. Neon pick and Neon Green. We own the Splatoon Switch and this allows us to have two green or two pink or on of each on the Swicth. Looks super cool when playing with the squids and highly functional as we now have 4 controller's.

    Many of the game titles have multiple player modes, so you need more controllers. Each joy-con can function as an individual controller but I think most people prefer using it as a full controller with both joy-cons. Using the single can tire you fast. I recommend getting the insurance for $11. These haven't proven too durable with younger kids.

    Needed to get more controllers so we could play more multiplayer games. These work exactly as you’d want them too. Nintendo definitely proud of them though. Would be an easy buy if they were less expensive.

    Love the colors. I wanted to get four joycons so I could play Mario kart with friends and wanted to get something fun to go with the neon red and blue joycons I got with the console. Overall quality is great, exactly what you would expect since it’s a Nintendo product. Really you’re buying these for the colors and these go well with what I had.

    The Switch essentials

    No gaming console compares to the Nintendo Switch. These controllers are an essential addition to the system- especially since these additional controllers are reversed from the original switch controllers. Now you can have an all neon red or all neon blue set! Good to have for lots of friends to play together, and a great back up set just in case as well. A Must Buy!

    The quality you find in the new switch is evident and continues in these extra controllers. We added these to our base unit model and four of us can play at a time. Comes with two extra side bar slide-ons so you can have fully functional and graspable controllers. Highly recommend for families and friend group use around a TV.

    Solid Replacements - A Bit Expensive

    I got these because I had destroyed my original Left joy-con when I was performing a case mod. These are great replacements. One complaint I have is the price. Nintendo should really lower the price on these. My only other complaint is that over time these joy-cons become loose and start to wiggle slightly off the console. This can be remedied by swapping out the plastic locks for metal ones. (This method required you to open up the controllers and swap them out DIY style) Otherwise, these work just like the originals. It was very easy to swap them out and get them connected.

    So far, so good. I’ve had quite a few of these over the years and they have all had drifting issues. These are the first ones I bought that are working as they should. Happy with purchase so far.

    So far so good lol. Buying these enabled me to send in my others for drift-repair; hopefully these won't need to go in, as Nintendo's current policy is to replace with greys or red/blue. Pre-orderd online and picked up in-store on release day with no issues. Should have saved myself $10 w/price matching but forgot, that's on me :D

    BIG hit with the family when we play Mario Party, Kart 8, etc. I like how you can convert them into a larger controller with the connection piece that came with, and we purchased another one. Of you have larger hands they will come close to cramping! Other than that, we enjoy these controllers.

    Got these to replace a second pair of joy cons that have started to experience the drift. It’s extremely frustrating that this was the second time paying $80 to fix a known issue. We’ll be sending the old controllers back to nintendo, but it would be nice to be able to still play games in the meantime, hence this purchase. It’s currently too early to tell, but hopefully these controllers will lasts longer than a year. The colors are very true to the box though, which is really nice.

    My daughter wanted colors to fit her style and neon Purple was perfect for her. These are OEM joycons so of course they are best you can get. Best Buy had these to my door in 2 days. Only con in these joy-cons are the Nintendo tax. It’s unfortunate controllers are so expensive these days.

    Work great, expands the number of players we can have on Switch games, no issues in nearly a year. Only complaint is the cost, try to buy on sale if you can, for what you pay, Nintendo could at least include the controller body you can attach these to to use in the normal way (NON nun-chuck method).

    Great controllers. I got these so I could use the green controller to go with the blue controller my switch came with. Awesome that you can mix and match colors.
