    I love these colors, they even glow under blacklight. I've had a different pair for years and haven't experienced any sort of glitch or drift with them like other joycons, which I know is strange because they're made the same but still.

    The Switch Joy-cons are great! They're oddly comfortable to hold, despite how small they are. The neon-blue and neon-red colors are very nice looking. They fill sturdy and they are packed with tons of features. HD rumble, motion controls, shockingly good battery life. Nintendo has made an amazing controller this time around.

    Not much to say other than they work and that having four joy-cons for the Switch is a must for couch co-op and multiplayer. Seems a bit spendy, but when you realize that a complete Wii controller (nunchuck and wii-mote) was a combined $40 and you realize that you're basically getting two full controllers, it isn't so bad.

    The nintendo switch is such a great gaming console. When we purchased it, we didnot get the extra controllers. However after playing and seeing how much fun we were having we needed to go out by the extra controllers. The price was right and again you need to have this if you have more than two peopel wanting to play

    Works exactly like the ones that came with the original and identical in quality, etc. being that it's from Nintendo. Just wish it wasn't so expensive but I'm also purchasing some third party controllers that are cheaper, but w/o some functionality like rumble for other game uses as well.

    Wanted a second pair of Joy-Con's for my system and these work great they come with Joy-con straps which is cool. Plus with set that comes with system for certain games you can use each set as two controllers so now you can have Mario kart party with just two sets of Joy-Con's which would make them 4 controllers for that game.

    Standard Controllers

    These controllers are pretty standard to the ones that you get with the Switch. There’s literally no difference between these ones and the stock ones that come with the switch besides the color. I would recommend getting a second set of controllers though, it really helps you out when you forget to charge 1 set.

    Works as expected, though expensive. The old joy cons drift after a while, but I haven’t experienced it yet with these new controllers. Love the Nintendo Switch!

    OEM controllers are still the best that I’ve found. We replaced the OG pair since the joystick broke.

    Definitely need this if you are a Switch game player. I have friends over a lot and needed a way for a minimum of three people to play a game all at once. This was perfect! Easy to use and I love the colors more so than the ones that came with the Switch.

    You can use the joy-con controllers that come with the Switch to play some two-player games, but having an extra set of controllers is best to get the best experience out of Mario Kart, Smash Bros, etc. You can even play up to four players on Mario Kart with an extra set like this.

    Bought to have 4 players for mario kart. They make a perfect pair for each of my kid's favorite colors. Like all Nintendo products, great quality. Buttons and analog controls are responsive and provide a pleasant click. They are, unfortunately, quite expensive.

    I’m not a fan of Nintendo never having sales on their games or equipment and because joycons are so expensive took me 2 years to finally buy another pair but only cause it was on sale. Controllers are great and make it easier for games like smash bros and Mario kart with friends.
