    Gift for grandson. Have not had any complaints and it is still operational so that's good since a 5, 9, and 14 year old are all using it.

    The colors are attractive and bright. Joy Con is a solid product and we have m ver had a problem. Best Buy is always the best store to go to when looking for price match, quality and quantity!

    This is my second set of replacement controllers. When the original switch joycons started drifting I bough another set which after a little while, started to drift as well. I hope this ones don’t malfunction as quick as the other ones

    So I bought these just because the store didn't have the Gray Joycon Switch. That was it lol. Is it worth $80?? I don't think so. I get that it's 2 Joycons and they are wireless and new tech, but come on, $80 Nintendo??? Anyway, works great, no issues.

    This was perfect for our Splatoon Switch - it has the opposite colors, so I now have one Switch with all pink, and another Switch with all Green! Yes, they drift, but Nintendo is great at replacing them for free!

    I bought the switch but wanted to get these additional controllers so my kids can play with me! I love that they made controllers that are colorful and fun. They are a nice size and easy to use.

    If you need these you know it already, so I'll just talk about the colors. My daughter wanted the neon purple and it did not disappoint, she really likes it. It looks a little deeper purple in person but it's a nice color. My son immediately said the neon orange looked like the color of Kraft Mac & Cheese, and I have to say that assessment is spot on. I thought it would have a bit of sheen to it, but the color is completely flat. It wasn't what we expected, but we have grown to like it. As for the value, $80 for a pair of these stings, especially when the joysticks start malfunctioning. However, Nintendo has repaired multiple joy-cons for me at no cost, which I appreciate.

    So, I love the variety of game play options with this simple controller. I do recommend the optional controller cradle though. They are very small if you have large hands. And the left stick placement is unfortunate. It’s really close to the menu button

    I bought these so I can have instant 4 player capabilities on my beloved Nintendo Switch and I honestly don't regret it. Yeah Joy-Con drift may be a thing but these are still so worth it for the Switch experience alone.

    Excellent direct replacement. The joy cons start to stick over time. Needed to get my kids new Joy-cons, and always good to go with originals. Good price. Work great.

    Picked these up as a backup pair for my Nintendo switch so I could play multi-player games like Super Mario Party. Best Buy honored a price match, so an even added bonus. Colors of each joycon are vibrant and fun. Necessary for your Switch gaming needs!

    Goes perfectly with the Switch. I like how the system recognizes the colors you are using when attached. No issues thus far. Can be separated to play as two separate controllers when necessary for multiplayer games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

    Needed another set of controllers for my switch, and I honestly didn't care what color they were, so picked these up during the black friday sales, and am loving having a second set so more people can play games when I have them over!

    Bought a Nintendo Switch for Christmas and it only came with two controllers. Since we have 2 children we needed extra controllers. I noticed these on sale at Best Buy and decided to pick them up. They work great and love the color.
