    Great for parties (4+) so everyone can have a joy-con of their favorite color (if you started with neon red and blue). It'd be cool if you could mix and match sets or buy one of a particular color to have one of each color variant, but it makes sense to sell in packs to sell more.

    Love the new color, bought it because the color was so unique and vibrant. Feels sturdy and is great to the touch with its matte finish. Looks good paired with the switch and joycon comfort grips.

    Is got this for my daughter after she broke both her previous controllers. They were easy to find. I wish they were more durable though

    Needed new joy-cons. My original ones began to not work. They would drop the connection and lag. They work how they should. My order was quickly filled and picked up. Bestbuy was the only store in the area who had these in stock!

    I love the joycons as controllers. What's cool is that the Switch knows which color each joycon is in the settings, so on screen, you'll know that player 2 is the guy with the yellow joycons for example. I'd recommend a joy con controller grip, as some people need one complete controller to hold onto.

    Wanted to get a different color Joy-Con to compliment the red/blue set that came with the Nintendo Switch, this worked out perfectly. Have had no problems with it since purchase and have very much enjoyed multiplayer games with four different colored controllers!

    Bright colors, and the flexibilty that you expect from Nintendo’s JoyCon controllers. They aren’t the most durable, so be gentle with them.

    I bought the 2nd Gen. Nintendo Switch and it came with the neon colors red and blue . I don' t really like those colors so I decided to get the gray color Joy Con controllers . Cause the gray Joy Con controllers match the Nintendo switch display .

    I'm starting to understand how Nintendo can sell the Switch for what it does. First-party replacement or additional controllers are stupid expensive. With that being said these Joy-Cons are the exact same as the ones that come bundled with every Switch. They do what they were designed to do.

    The joy-cons from the original console are nearly worn down after buying on the launch date (over 2 years). I love that they’re really made to last a long time, and I don’t have a case for them. Love these new crisp-feeing joy-cons. I know they’ll last a while.

    I actually really like the joy cons. They are excellent controllers when paired up in each hand but they are also really useful on their own individually to be used as impromptu party controllers for a large group. The thing that I really like about these controllers is that if you happen to already on the switch console with the neon Joy cons this set happens to have the colors reversed meaning that you can have either a all blue or all red switch because the left and right colors are in reverse.

    Distinguish Players

    These are great if you have the neon red and blue joy cons, because when you connect these controllers to games, it specifies which colors are which player number. Vs if you get all gray, you won't know until you look for the light on the joy con. It's a fun little way to distinguish players.

    the one thing i love about the switch is that it comes with two joy cons, how ever i have a large family so these two bad boiis made a great addition to our system when playing multiplayer games such as mario kart , just dance, smash bros and others.

    I was lucky enough to be able to purchase a Switch on launch day, but they didn't have any bundles with the colored controllers. I really wanted that bundle but I also really wanted the Switch. Luckily my mom paid for half so it wasn't as big of a hit... but seriously, Nintendo? $80??? They are cool....

    These are perfect and just the color I wanted. Being christmas it was hard to find. I was put on the notify me list. Best Buy got them in stock I ordered them and they shipped and arrive super fast. The product was in excellent shape and they work great. We needed the extra controller for when we play a game of family Monopoly. If you've used a JoyCon controller you know they come with bumpers that make the controller bigger. Some don't use them. I personally really enjoy them. They make it easier pressing the bigger buttons rather the smaller. Pay attention when putting them on to the plus and minus on the bumper and the controller, to match them. I did not one time and had a mini heart attack because I couldn't get it off. Luckily, my boyfriend did. Learned my lesson. Overall, highly recommend.
