    Great replacement for my original unit. My kids absolutely pound the buttons so a replacement is necessary.

    These are just like the regular controllers, but in brighter colors. Several color combinations to choose from. There are two main advantages to having these controllers. First if you have someone with a particular color preference. Second by having four separate colors it is easy to designate individual controllers to household members if you like each member to have their own controller. However, they seem overpriced.

    Power in the Palm of My Hands

    Small enough to fit comfortably in my hand, yet large enough in its scale of diversity, the "Joy-Con (L/R) Wireless Controllers for Nintendo Switch" has enhanced the way I play games. Whether it's horizontal, vertical, with a grip, or free, each position is designed to fit ergonomically, which enables me the freedom to play for countless hours at a time. Of all the consoles I've owned, the Nintendo Switch's controllers have to be my favorite by far. --With that said, I have to be light-handed/delicate when using Nintendo's Joy-Cons as to avoid the notorious "Joy-Con Drift"; however, Nintendo offers free repairs for this issue & will refund anyone who's been charged, to fix the defect, in the past. --I thinks that's a pretty good deal should I ever experience this issue myself. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my new pair. Cheers!

    These were replacements for the originals. Maybe it's me learning how to take care of them better, but these have held up much better. Or maybe it's because I got the insurance. It's like taking the car in for a noise that stops when you arrive.

    Just got a couple to replace the original that came with the console two years ago. They still work fine but the left stick is losing some accuracy. So I can still use them to play party games and such. These can be a bit expensive, so I bought them during a holiday sale.

    These are a must have for one of my favorite games on the Nintendo Switch- Just Dance! I had to get an extra set of controllers so more people can join in on the fun! Make sure you wear the straps that come with the box otherwise it will slip right out of your hands as you fling your arms in the air dancing!

    They don't last long. Get warranty if possible.

    The Nintendo switch controllers are probably the cheapest material and the most expensive controller i ever owned in my life. i had to get new controller very 4-6month and at over $69.99 each. If you have this same issue, Get the warranty. Learned the hard way. Horrible duration for controllers.

    I purchased a second set of joycons for multiplayer. One cool feature is that the Switch can tell what color the joycon is and display that on the screen. This is useful for multiplayer games! One drawback is that there isn't an easy way to charge these out of the box. You can put them on the Switch to recharge, but there's no separate cable.

    They are amazing with a slight disappointment

    The tech behind these is great. I literally can lay on the couch in any position, upside down, backwards, my hands on either side of the room, and I can still play the switch. I was slightly disappointed that they become less responsive occasionally when held behind a body part (usually a leg while I have my knees tucked on the couch). I have to reposition myself get get the connection back. This is rare, though, and I absolutely LOVE MY SWITCH. So that's that.

    These Joy-Cons were exactly as advertised. They work amazingly and were in perfect condition. I'm glad that I was able to pick them up from Best Buy!

    I bought these controllers with the purpose of playing Mario Kart with some family that was visiting during the holidays. I purchased these along with the wheels, and it was great. It was easy to operate, and did not take long for the kids to become attached tot these.
