    Nintendo always makes their own nitch when it comes to innovation. This controller is no different. It has great tech with a lot of fun factors. I wish it was cheaper but great product.

    Joycons are inherently bad

    I love the colors. If you want to play any of the fun multiplayer and nintendo exclusive games, get the joycons. If you would rather have a better experience on any solo/first person game I recommend the holi-split pad (same price? And turbo mode). Joy cons make my forearms ache. If you have stressed and strained wrists from work, dont get joycons for single player handheld gaming. They also have less game hours on average in their life span than any main console controllers on the market (hundreds vs thousands).

    Love these joy cons! Opened them to get different colors rather than the red and blue that come with it! Had a switch party the day I got these and everyone loved the colors!!

    My daughter loves pink so this was perfect when I upgraded to the OLED and passed my launch Switch down to the kids.

    Got these to replace the original one due to drift. These also started to drift after a year of gaming. But thanks to Youtube, both pair are working great.

    Needed more controllers to be able to play four players. Considering that you can use each joy-con as an individual controller, these were cheaper than buying two pro controllers. They work well.

    The controllers are Nintendo and work as designed. Love the colors as my nephew went to Clemson. I know they’re Splatoon colors tho. I try to stick to original brand as much as possible to ensure the best game play. I’ve had third party before, sometimes I’ve been disappointed and sometimes not. But I’ve never been disappointed with Nintendo.

    My son plays allot and the original controls that came with the $400 game wore out. He likes Orange and the Baltimore Ravens so guess what set he picked out.

    Make a good replacement for the identical ones that suffered from terrible joycon drift. Hope they don't break like the last ones

    Like all official joycons, it works great. However, the colors are way brighter for the actual product than what’s printed on the box label. Didn’t want ultra neon pink and green, but oh well. Overall I’m very glad they have multiple color options for when you have 4 people playing a game!
