    Hey, they are Nintendo Switch joy-cons, so what do you expect? They work as advertised, and hopefully last longer than the original pair that came with my Switch as I encountered the dreaded joy-con drift after about 2 1/2 years of play. While I got these on sale, they still are pricey for what you get.

    These are much better than the original joycons I got with the console. Specifically, I was experiencing drift in the left hand joycon, a common complaint.

    Cute colors for the switch console. I had pre-ordered mine and they came on time. My kids love the neon colors. My daughter loves the pink. Great addition for color choices. Have had no issues as of yet. I still think the price is a little steep for controllers but then again its a lot cheaper to buy this than 2 separate ones.

    The Nintendo Joy-Con controllers work as intended. Some people don't like them, I think they have a good enough design, considering all of the factors that were included. Purchasing another set of controllers is the way to go because some games are just way more fun with 3 or more simultaneous players.

    The Joy-Con is a marvel of technology. These remotes are sturdy and responsive. Personally, I feel when you play with a singular controller, such as playing with a friend on Mario kart, the connection is weak, but unrelated to this specific product I bought. I gave 4/5 only because the box shows the Controllers seeming a little darker than they actually are. Granted, the box states neon green and pink, so I know what I was signing up for. But the image on the box shows a little more washed out of a color. Still amazing.

    Works exactly like the ones that came with the original and identical in quality, etc. being that it's from Nintendo. Just wish it wasn't so expensive but I'm also purchasing some third party controllers that are cheaper, but w/o some functionality like rumble for other game uses as well.

    Not much to say other than they work and that having four joy-cons for the Switch is a must for couch co-op and multiplayer. Seems a bit spendy, but when you realize that a complete Wii controller (nunchuck and wii-mote) was a combined $40 and you realize that you're basically getting two full controllers, it isn't so bad.

    I was deciding between an extra set of joycons or a pro controller, and settled on an extra pair of joycons to enable 2 extra players for multiplayer (mario kart, smash, etc.). This was the other set of colors at launch of the switch (other than gray), but there are other color options that may appeal to you.

    These controls are good. My children like them. I tend to connect them to a control holder though since that is what I am used to. We will purchase these again if needed.

    I bought these controllers in Used:Excellent condition online and that is exactly what I got! Excellent Joy-Cons! So happy with my purchase. They work great. Probably someone just didn't like the color choice when they opened the box and returned them! Happy I got a discount for buying them back from BestBuy for being used.
