    My son dropped his Nintendo Switch and it broke one of the tabs so the controller wouldn’t stay on good. I decided to buy him a new set. I was able to switch the controllers with my daughters switch, so now she has red controllers and he has blue. So it all worked out in the end.

    If you haven’t held them, the joy cons are a controller(s) that have a really solid feel. The two shoulder buttons can be tricky for my larger fingers sometimes but it’s not too bad. I love the clicky buttons, they have great tactile feedback. The battery life is what it is. I will say that these have survived a couple drops and still work great.

    Of course, brand new they work like a charm. These were replacements of the original controllers because the originals started drifting and I was afraid to fix them on my own and through nintendo, well, it wasn't economically wise to get them repaired when the cost was almost the same as new ones. So, hoping these will work for years to come w/o problems.

    Needed Another Pair of Joy-Cons

    We got a 2nd switch and were needing another pair of Joy-Cons to have (so we aren't taking the ones on/off of the main switch all the time when we want to play it on the TV). If I could get a good mix/match for "red/yellow" then I'd really be stoked but they work great and that's what really matter.

    Great little control

    We purchased this to be able to use with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as this would allow four players at once (each set splits in two). While they feel a bit delicate, compared to some of the other controls that are available, they do the job and do it well. If controls were more reasonably priced, I'd go with the wireless pro options instead. All that said, the Joy-Cons are a great option!

    3rd set of remotes!?

    This will be our third set of joy-cons since owning the Switch. When working properly, they are great. Something in the design needs to be done about the drift. Never had remotes on older gaming systems do this. For the price, I believe the consumer deserves better. Or better yet, how about a lifetime warranty, since buying extended coverage usually doesn't help. Remotes always give trouble when warranty is expired.
