    Need at least two sets for the switch

    If you have a switch, you need to grab another set of controllers for multiplayer games. That is what the Nintendo switch is really about and when it is at its best. Save the single player games for the other consoles and pick up another set. If you have a set of black controllers, grab a colored set.

    Works as they should. none of them are built to last so be prepared to replace them at least yearly if the game is played often like my sons is.

    Original left controller of mine had a stickey joystick. This is a common failure with these controllers but is easily remedied with a cleaning. I purchased this set of controllers to have extras so I can play with friends too, but l was sure to get the extended warranty just in case.

    I was not happy with the price. But, it is very useful to have additional joycons for when my teenager has friends over to play or when we want to have family game night. My older adult son advised against purchasing the off-brands as there were some known delay or drag issues with them as compared to these. We have been happy with the functionality of these.

    Innovative, but not perfect

    Joy-cons are an interesting innovation in gaming control schemes. These feature Nintendo's fantastic, tactile, clicky and response faceplate buttons from the 3DS. The sticks you may are alright, nothing to write home about. The bumpers are also very tactile, but inconsistent in their button triggering actuality. You can play separated to be relaxed, or attached for finer control. Battery life is good. I prefer the Pro Controller if I have a choice in the game.

    We bought extra joycons so we can play Mario Party with the kids. They work just as well as the ones that came with the switch. We did buy an extra joycon charging grip because the grip that comes with the switch does not have the charging port.

    Great out of the box. Wish I didn't have to buy new ones because mine started having drift and were unrepairable. The price is ridiculous for when you can just get a full wireless controller for the same price.

    Great for parties (4+) so everyone can have a joy-con of their favorite color (if you started with neon red and blue). It'd be cool if you could mix and match sets or buy one of a particular color to have one of each color variant, but it makes sense to sell in packs to sell more.

    I bought these controllers so I could mix-n-match the Joy-Cons that came with the Switch — since they are the opposite colors from the ones that came with the Switch, I’m able to pair the Neon Reds together or the Neon Blues together.

    These controllers came in handy. We have been trying to get some extra ones since last year and they were sold out but it was one left and we grabbed it and that first night we played Mario and I so love playing the game with my kids.

    I love the joycons as controllers. What's cool is that the Switch knows which color each joycon is in the settings, so on screen, you'll know that player 2 is the guy with the yellow joycons for example. I'd recommend a joy con controller grip, as some people need one complete controller to hold onto.

    The Joycons are awesome. The HD Rumble feature really makes you feel the game. They are small and easy to carry. You should have at least two pairs so you can play multiplayers games like Mario Kart and make the experience extra fun.
