    As many might saw the joycons are decent, but are extremely small for adult hands. I would only really recommend them if you want motion controls for games such as ARMs, or other motion control games. If you want a comfortable experience I would highly recommend getting the Pro Controller. Compared to the pro controllers these don't have the same battery life either. Most of the time mine only last about 12 hours or so of gameplay. I will admit though that they are not always connected to the system or the charge carrier, however this does also make it seem like they send out signals even when not on. Most previous Nintendo products completely held a charge when off.

    Personally I think they are overpriced, and almost have to "break them in". There are some third party controllers too that work in the nun chuck fashion, but fit an adult hand much better. Also some replicate the Gamecube controller, but still compatible with the mobile version of this console.

    Bought the OLED Switch for my grandsons and needed 4 total controllers. These are great! Since they are different colors, each has their own. Easy to pair with the console.

    Bought these joy-cons as an extra set to go with my ACNH Nintendo Switch and they've been working great so far. I went with gray because they look good with pretty much any color cover. I reached out to Best Buy over chat to do a price match on these with Amazon and the whole process was super straightforward. Very pleased with my purchase!

    Did the job, had bought my switch with gray joy cons and one let me down. These add a nice touch of color. 4 star cause their pretty pricey for flimsy analog sticks for adult use.
