    Good replacements but a little expensive.

    Needed as a replacement for original joycons. It is frustrating that hit KMS wear out so easily, had one set repaired under warranty. Nevertheless you expect some wear and tear, shame you can’t trade in the used ones for a more reasonable replacement price.

    The Switch essentials

    No gaming console compares to the Nintendo Switch. These controllers are an essential addition to the system- especially since these additional controllers are reversed from the original switch controllers. Now you can have an all neon red or all neon blue set! Good to have for lots of friends to play together, and a great back up set just in case as well. A Must Buy!

    A must for 3 or 4 player split screen

    I wasn't initially sold on the idea of the joy cons, until I started using them. They are a great, cordless way, to game 3 or 4 player split screen or couch coop in the traditional way going back to the N64 or the SNES with the multi tap. They are a little pricey, IMO, but they do work well and it is very nice to have an extra set for when friends come over and want to game.

    The joy-cons work perfectly, there have been no drifting issues yet but dont expect those to possibly hit until over a year or more. The colors are pretty and bright.

    Where is the middle of my controller???

    Where did the middle of my controller. No one is talking about it online! It’s no where in the box and I’m baffled they still connect to the consle. They work beautiful without the middle. The colors are nice and vibrant and they feel like they have a nice weight to then regardless without the middle. All joking aside this is a great product.

    My one complaint about the Nintendo Switch and joy-cons is that eventually I start to experience some drift. You mostly notice it in menus ... it will start to move your cursor down, even though you didn’t press down. This doesn’t happen at first, but over time. But I love to have extra joy-cons to take with me and play with people. This is my third pair, and I haven’t experienced drift with them yet. It’s so fun to play Nintendo games with up to 6 players. Check it out!

    My Old Joy-Cons had the dreaded Joy-Con Drift. What I came to realize is these controllers were 5 years old. Also, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch OLED use the same controllers. Note, it doesn't matter the color either.

    Very responsive controllers. Size may be a bit small depending on the size of your hands. Feels very comfortable when connected on the grip. The battery depends on which game you are playing due to customized game rumble (vibrations), but generally runs for a good amount of time before needing to recharge.

    Solid controllers all around. My only problem is that they feel kind of like a toy because of the plastic used on the housing and buttons. But they are, for the most part, reliable. Haven't had the famous stick drift issue just yet, but it's only a matter of time.

    joycons are a must for some games, and it is nice that you basically get 2 controllers if needed. I am not so much a fan of the pink but I like the green. I could of got the all green set, but it is easier to say where is my missing pink controller than where is my left controller.

    My joy con drift problem was solved using these joy cons. They were delivered on time and not damaged at all. Their quality is excellent and and the colors are very bright, which makes them look nice. This pair of joy cons is one of the best switch accessories I have ever bought.

    If you plan ob playing multi player games in the switch, these are a must. Love that they have multiple colors to match or mismatch in some cases. Not a bad price when you consider you are getting 2 controllers for some games. Only downside is they are a little smaller fir peoplw with bigger hands.

    I have been looking for additional controllers for my Nintendo switch for a while as this is a necessity for you to play multiplayer games. The controller easy to handle and it's the best way to playing the new Nintendo switch. It can be used as a single player for more serious gaming and Cashel gaming it splits into two different controllers.
