    Perfect for the system. My grandson just replaced the old ones and continued playing.

    I love these controllers because it allows me to play Mario Party with more people, I like that it comes with the grips because I rather play with the grips on than without. And the colors match the original ones that I have bought and works good when it’s boys against girls.

    Although it seems rather pricey, these do technically function as two controllers for many games. Haven't had desyncing issues. These are fairly small, though, taking some adjustment for those used to standard-sized controllers like the Pro controller (which I prefer over these). Also, the first time I attached the wrist strap requires some decent amount of force to remove. If you haven't removed one before, you feel like you're going to break the strap. Suppose that's good in that it won't likely accidentally come off.

    These cost way too much, but what ya gonna do. They never last long and seem to need to replace them once a year. The knock off ones cost less but do not work well.

    Needed a second pair of Joy-Cons

    My family has loved playing MarioKart for years and we needed 2 more joy cons. My preference was to buy a pair of red, blue or red & blue joy cons, but they are hard to come by right now so I settled for gray. The controllers are a bit too small for my hands but are just right for my girls, ages 4 and 7 to use. For 4-player action, I insert each joy con into a case that flares out which makes it more bearable for adult hands. If only 3 of us are playing I put the joy con pair into a charging comfort grip for my use.

    Everything you’d expect from them and my 6 year old son loves the colors. He loves them and at 6 years old he has beaten almost any game he plays. He would know if they were trash or not which is why I gave them a high rating. I know how durable they are too and that’s a major plus.

    You never really know if the “extra” controllers will work as well as the ones that come with the system. These work just as well! They hold a charge. Response from the controllers to the system is great. Plus, who can resist bright neon colors?! Would definitely purchase them again!

    Packaging was tattered and controllers buttons are sensitive. Not sure this was tested before being listed as used.

    If you plan to play any multiplayer games, I highly recommend buying an additional set of joy-cons. The neon colors are bright and fun.

    Power in the Palm of My Hands

    Small enough to fit comfortably in my hand, yet large enough in its scale of diversity, the "Joy-Con (L/R) Wireless Controllers for Nintendo Switch" has enhanced the way I play games. Whether it's horizontal, vertical, with a grip, or free, each position is designed to fit ergonomically, which enables me the freedom to play for countless hours at a time. Of all the consoles I've owned, the Nintendo Switch's controllers have to be my favorite by far. --With that said, I have to be light-handed/delicate when using Nintendo's Joy-Cons as to avoid the notorious "Joy-Con Drift"; however, Nintendo offers free repairs for this issue & will refund anyone who's been charged, to fix the defect, in the past. --I thinks that's a pretty good deal should I ever experience this issue myself. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my new pair. Cheers!

    These are just like the regular controllers, but in brighter colors. Several color combinations to choose from. There are two main advantages to having these controllers. First if you have someone with a particular color preference. Second by having four separate colors it is easy to designate individual controllers to household members if you like each member to have their own controller. However, they seem overpriced.

    These were replacements for the originals. Maybe it's me learning how to take care of them better, but these have held up much better. Or maybe it's because I got the insurance. It's like taking the car in for a noise that stops when you arrive.

    The family burns out of controllers at a decent pace with five of us playing games, especially the new Zelda game. These have held up so far.
