    Controllers worked great! It did the job to be able to use the switch again because previous ones stopped working.

    No problems with these. The colors are bright and a pleasure to look at. Feel better than the original pair that came with my switch.

    Serves its purpose but not very ergonomic.

    I feel like these controllers are the worst for any type of hand size especially if you plan on using it for a long time. I was only forced to buy this because the Joy-Cons that came with the Nintendo switch were malfunctioning and were doing that phantom movement or whatever's it's called. I'm sure the lifetime of these controllers will last a bit longer because I have been using my pro controller more than ever. I would only recommend buying this if you need extra remotes to play those multiplayer games. Otherwise, just buy the pro controller.

    Don't buy the aftermarket ones. Those don't work that well. These are great. Love having different colors so each kid has their own

    For everything I like about the Joycons there’s 3 things I dislike about them. Much like most of Nintendo’s other controllers they all have their quirks. Personally I feel they’re a little too expensive for what they are. I never thought they were the most comfortable things out there either. I don’t mind the a symmetrical design when it comes to full size controllers like the pro controller or even the Xbox controller but for these I feel like they’re just too clustered. With that said I can adapt to that and eventually look past it. What really bothers me is the build quality. I’ve gone through 2 pairs of joycons and I primarily use the system docked with the pro controller. The Joycons are prone for stick drift and for 70-80 dollars controllers not even lasting a couple years with light use is disgusting. The last pair I bought I wised up and purchased the protection plan so when these break ( which they will ) I’ll swap them out and buy another protection plan.

    i was stuck between these and a pro controller. Difference is that these can be combined to make a pro controller(sort of) and then split to enable 4 players to play. Great product

    Yeah dont buy the unoficial ones, these far exceed the quality of the cheaper ones. Dont skimp remember you or your kids will be using this a lot. Its the equivalent of buying good quality shows for work rather than pretty looking ones. This is were its at.

    The extra controllers are the exact same as the one that comes with the switch. It also includes the strap. Great to have for multi-player games to enjoy with the whole family.

    These Joy-Cons look great on my Nintendo Switch. I preordered my Grey Joy-Con Switch on January 13th as soon as Best Buy started taking orders, and picked my unit up at the midnight launch of my local Best Buy store. Myself and others who preordered were allowed into the store early and when I got to the counter, I asked if I could switch my Gray Switch for the Neon Switch. I was told I could not do this, which really didn't make sense as the store had dozens more units available to customers who did not preorder. The Joy-Cons work great, but I would have appreciated Best Buy not making me spend $70 to get the color of controller I wanted.
