These joysticks start getting drift and becoming non responsive way faster than any other controllers I’ve had from different consoles. Playing crash bandicoot is difficult because I don’t feel they are as sensitive as PS4 controllers. For the price point, it seems like we are getting ripped off here. The only good thing is that you can send them in for repair which Nintendo does very quickly in my opinion.
I like that they offer some fun colors in these and that they are very easy to use. I do wish they made bigger ones. I’m pretty small (5’2) and sometimes my hands cramp up I’ve I’m playing animal crossing for too many hours. Overall, I’ve owned a switch for almost 5 years and I’ve gone through 3 pairs and had them repaired through Nintendo. This is my fourth pair so we’ll see how long it lasts before needing repair. Each pair I’ve purchased previously has ended up with drift issues. You’ll need these controllers because you can’t play your switch without them but they’re not great and I wish Nintendo would release something way better but oh well.

No Compatibility Issues

Because these are both right and left original replacement joy-cons by Nintendo there is no compatibility issue when using to replace broken joy-cons and the Switch can be used immediately. However, the joy-cons do break fairly easily if dropped on a hard surface and this can happen to anyone. I think they could, and should, be made a little more rugged but I guess this is one of the ways the Nintendo makes their money. If you purchase this set to replace one broken joy-con, if the other one breaks, you have a spare. I'm not crazy about the price as well.

The colors are beautifully painted on the joy cons and they work great. They haven’t worn out and work great.

I got 12 months from the first set of controllers

With an average of 10 hours use per week, I wore out the joy stick on the left controller from holding it in position for extended periods of time. The spring back action got weak and the on-screen character kept moving after I released the joy stick. Al other buttons and the right joy stick still work fine. Compared to other systems I have owned over the years, I feel 12 months life is above average. It would be nice if the L & R switch controllers could be purchased separately or were less expensive.

A Must-Have Accessory

Of all the joy-cons I've seen, these are my favorite. They feel pretty much identical to others, including the ones in the box, but the color is great! It goes very well with the Switch console. Pairing with the main console was simple, easy, and quick, and all of the controls work excellently. Build quality is also great, with all of the buttons and whatnot having a quality feel. They're a little expensive, but they're a great investment!

Must have extra controllers for family fun! Kove the classic colors option to go with my OLED white ones, was able to connect right away and enjoy that night! Now I can have them on the go as well to play with friends and family anywhere!

These controllers are awesome. The watermelon color scheme is what sold me, they work just like every other pair of joy cons.
