    It is an extra set of controllers for the Nintendo switch. They work good so far, just on the expensive side for controllers in my opinion

    Joy-cons: Sometines you have to pay to play.

    Nintendo Switch joy-cons: two controllers for the cost of...well... two controllers. I get it, there's a lot of tech jammed into these little guys. 20 hour battery life, all the motion tech from the Wii controllers, NFC in the right thumb stick for Amiibo figures, an IR sensor, plus they can be used independently for multiplayer games. You need them to play, so they're less of an optional accessory and more of a "gotta have it" because if you want more players, you'll need more controllers.

    My old original joycons drifted so much some games were impossible to play. The new ones are much more solid, and don't drift at all

    Bought this on sale before the holidays. The ease of curbside at Best Buy beats any other store I’ve ci sides of this pandemic. This was the perfect addition to our sons Christmas gift and we put it to use on Mario cart right away.

    These Joy-cons work well and pair quickly with the Switch. The cost to buy these plus a grip connector makes it too expensive.

    I loooove the color of these joy cons! I've been using them for about a month and have had no issues with it so far. I bought these as back up because I heard that the Nintendo joy sticks can drift after a while but it has been fine.

    I love my Nintendo Switch. These joy-cons added nice color to my set up and I love it because Splatoon 2 is my favorite game; the colors match the game. I had previously bought a splatoon sticking skin for my Switch consol and joy-con holder and so this addition is great for that.

    The set of Joy-Con are working great. Our kids are hard on them, including dropping them from time to time, and they get a lot of use. They seem well-made. We really like the convenience of being able to charge them in the charging dock (available for purchase separately).

    So far , so good! We will see how long they last. Several problems occurred with the original controllers.Something tells me that Nintendo knew the controllers that came with the switch wouldn’t last. Hopefully these will.

    Obviously, the console only comes with 1 set of Joy-Cons in the box, so if you need more, this is an easy purchase! The price is a bit hard to swallow, but it is the only option. And I just chose black because I like how slick they look, but the other colors also can look very cool!

    This is very useful to purchase, giving all who comes over more options when it comes to playing in a large party and it is even better if you purchased the blue and red controllers as well because you are getting closer and closer to forming your own little mini controller rainbow.
