    The Joy-Con is a marvel of technology. These remotes are sturdy and responsive. Personally, I feel when you play with a singular controller, such as playing with a friend on Mario kart, the connection is weak, but unrelated to this specific product I bought. I gave 4/5 only because the box shows the Controllers seeming a little darker than they actually are. Granted, the box states neon green and pink, so I know what I was signing up for. But the image on the box shows a little more washed out of a color. Still amazing.

    I bought two different sets of these. I had no issues with any of them and they made it so that the whole family can play together.

    The family burns out of controllers at a decent pace with five of us playing games, especially the new Zelda game. These have held up so far.

    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.

    Bright, Smooth, and Quality! The brightness of the green really makes this my favorite pair of joycons! So far, while using it daily, it shows no signs of wear or any drifting.

    I was deciding between an extra set of joycons or a pro controller, and settled on an extra pair of joycons to enable 2 extra players for multiplayer (mario kart, smash, etc.). This was the other set of colors at launch of the switch (other than gray), but there are other color options that may appeal to you.

    Was experiencing drift after a few years with the joycon that came with my Switch (gray). I bought these to use while my original set was being repaired. I love the vibrant color, it makes them easy to spot. I sometimes wish they would come packaged with matching left and right joycon, instead of two different colors, but I am very pleased with these. I've had them for a year, and no drift on this new set yet. I am considering maybe a new set with different colors!

    I bought a 3rd party controller to play with my little brother but when I tried playing with his original Nintendo controllers I realized nothing compares to how the original handles. So I had to get myself a pair. Plus this color is so cool

    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.

    I bought these controllers in Used:Excellent condition online and that is exactly what I got! Excellent Joy-Cons! So happy with my purchase. They work great. Probably someone just didn't like the color choice when they opened the box and returned them! Happy I got a discount for buying them back from BestBuy for being used.

    I know that some people aren’t games of the joy cons, but I love them. Whether you’re playing by yourself or with a friend for some games that option is tight. I’m glad Nintendo is not stagnant with controllers. Sure the Xbox or ps4 controllers are good, but sometimes some bit of experimentation is necessary!
