    These were a great replacement for our old ones. The old ones were glitching constantly but these ones don’t glitch at all, they’re perfect!

    Bought Mario Party to play with kids. But it requires additional controller for all of us to play games. So I had to buy this one. No other comment on its quality. It is genuine from Nintendo. But I realized that the price of the different colors is slightly different too. If you are not bothered by its color, you may choose the best deal. I gave it 4 stars, simple because it is quite expensive.

    We recently got our Nintendo Switch and needed additional controllers for kids (and adults too!). We purchased a set from Amazon thinking they were fine and had good reviews. But when we went to play two player games, the amazon set didn’t keep up. These controllers are worth the extra. They fit the console perfectly and there is no lag or problem playing. Plus they are bright and cheery.

    I got the extra set to accomodate up to four players or two players for games such as mario kart and taiko drums. Cute colors that were opposite of the colors that came with the switch itself so it is easy to differenciate.

    Overall loved the color pattern. Bought the splatoon 2 joy cons, neon pink/green. My daughter loves her pink joy-con. The joy-cons are very sensitive. They are great however I will upgrade to the pro controllers for the switch.

    Our original controllers to our Switch broke. I’m pretty upset about it. These controllers are expensive but I love the colors. If you need another set of controllers, these are great.

    It's Fine

    There are just certain games that need to use the Joy-Con controllers like Mario Party or Kart, and they're perfectly fine, however, I think given the option and availability, the Pro controller is the best route to go. However, if a game uses both and you're trying to be more frugal and pragmatic, then purchasing this would be the more ideal option as two players can use each individual controller (if the game allows for it).

    I ordered these since my blue pair had quit working (from the manufacturer, my girlfriend swapped her right blue joycon for my right red joycon), and they arrived 2 days later. So far they work amazingly! Very happy with my purchase

    I like the concept of these controllers...have to get used to them...I just don’t like that u have to buy all these extra stuff to make it a controller which just adds more money n these controllers are not cheap to begin with ...but be cautious they do have problems maybe get warranty...my kids are older but after a year or so they stop working correctly and had issues with calibration...something to keep in mind

    these joy cons are a must need for gaming on the go but It seems that the common issue with these are that after so much use they tend to start tracking on their own. unfortunately I had the lets go limited edition and the left side would always track up and to the left. some reviews said that the material inside breaks down and causes it. so I had to get these to replace it.

    We bought a switch for Christmas and needed another set of controllers. They work well and my kids have enjoyed using them. They are expensive though so it might be worth your while to check out the prices of pro controllers as well

    I needed a couple more joycons for Super Mario Party, and I wanted the pink one for me and the green one for my wife. These look nicer than the original grey, or blue and red ones however the pink is kind of bland. It's not a very vibrant pink, and it looks almost red. The green on the other hand is a very nice green, and my wife loves the color. I still prefer these over the original colors whether the pink is vibrant or not.

    Make sure to purchase the nintendo brand controllers. The knock offs do not work well with rechargers and the console itself. Had to go back and purchase nintendo brand and everything worked great! Highly recommend
