Customer Ratings & Reviews

The controllers work well with my Nintendo machine. Very comfortable on the hands. Many color combinations to choose from.

These joysticks start getting drift and becoming non responsive way faster than any other controllers I’ve had from different consoles. Playing crash bandicoot is difficult because I don’t feel they are as sensitive as PS4 controllers. For the price point, it seems like we are getting ripped off here. The only good thing is that you can send them in for repair which Nintendo does very quickly in my opinion. I like that they offer some fun colors in these and that they are very easy to use. I do wish they made bigger ones. I’m pretty small (5’2) and sometimes my hands cramp up I’ve I’m playing animal crossing for too many hours. Overall, I’ve owned a switch for almost 5 years and I’ve gone through 3 pairs and had them repaired through Nintendo. This is my fourth pair so we’ll see how long it lasts before needing repair. Each pair I’ve purchased previously has ended up with drift issues. You’ll need these controllers because you can’t play your switch without them but they’re not great and I wish Nintendo would release something way better but oh well.

The switch is such a great console, in order to play 4 player or even change up the colors of your switch, i recommend these.

can there ever be enough Contollers? some games requie two so if you are playing with or against someone you'll need them. they are a little small so if you are use to old Wi controllers it takes time to get use to.

Because these are both right and left original replacement joy-cons by Nintendo there is no compatibility issue when using to replace broken joy-cons and the Switch can be used immediately. However, the joy-cons do break fairly easily if dropped on a hard surface and this can happen to anyone. I think they could, and should, be made a little more rugged but I guess this is one of the ways the Nintendo makes their money. If you purchase this set to replace one broken joy-con, if the other one breaks, you have a spare. I'm not crazy about the price as well.

These are the basic, OEM Nintendo JoyCons and they work just as well as you would expect. Nintendo hardware is usually pretty premium with good quality materials and durable manufacturing - these controllers are no exception. I got my Switch with the grey controllers so no confusion adding an extra red/blue set, but even if you bought the red/blue with your Switch it's nice that these are the opposite colors (Red=L; Blue=R) than what was packaged with the console.

Nintendo doesn't get enough credit for their ingenuity. They may not be considered mainstream in today's gaming world, but that's doesn't stop their competitors from trying to follow in their foot steps and failing. Xbox had the kinect which has been mostly scrapped and the Playstation had the move which has been resurrected thanks to VR. The JoyCons are essentially the next generation Wii mote and they are fantastic. I've heard complaints above size, but with my larger hands they still seem to fit just fine.

I always wanted one of this since splatoon came out, the colors are vibrant and you gotta love the feel, worth it

These controllers work exactly as they should. Great to have a second pair to play with the kids.

An extra set is nice especially for some games. The price is steep, add in the cost of a separate charger and you are in the ouch zone. Quality seems good and the joy cons work well. Hopefully we will see more games take advantage of their abilities soon.

Easy setup, just works. Great vibrant colors. No regrets.

Beautiful color and also very good quality joycon. I prefer to buy this to have a girly touch for my daughter

Got an extra set for myself. Loves the colors reminded me of the movie “wicked”

I wasn't sure if we needed to get another set of joy cons for our newly purchases Switch. I'm glad we did. I think it's possible to play games with just 1 joy con but it seems you can do more with 2 joy cons used on 1 game. You can charge them on the switch or you can pick up a joy con charger. We are just using the switch as a charging station as we don't drain the batteries when we play (limiting our playing time to about 1 hr/day). The switch batteries seem to last quite a long time.

Love the colors , I need a new one cause the controller i had i finished the buttons so it did not work as well anymore.

They seem to break at around 1 year mark. This is my second set, I hope they last a bit longer this time. They are also a bit overpriced for what they are.

These are the best Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons hands down. The colors are bright and contrast to make the Switch really stand out.

Love the color and they work great! Bought this pair so I can have my own and my husband has his in black.

An extra set of controllers is definitely a need if you are wanting to play with more than two people or have games that require two and you want to play with someone else. I have enjoyed playing with friends and family which wouldn’t be possible without these controllers!

I had a hard time swallowing the fact that an extra set of controllers is $80, but they're a must for multiplayer games. I use them for Mario Kart and Just Dance and additionally I rotate them as an extra set during TV mode while my primary controllers are charging on the console. I purchased this item in store and the sales associate it didn't know whether they came with the slide-in handle section and it doesn't specify on the box. Watched an unboxing video to determine that it does indeed come included.
