    Bought these joycons so that the whole family could play together. We are enjoying the multiplayer Party games, and now we can play 4 at a time. They were very easy to sync with the switch. My son has even synced them to his switch lite for multiplayer fun

    Official Joycons with the requisite overprice

    They're Joycon and they work, at least for a time. Like all of them they will get drift on the analog sticks. For the price they really need to be fixed, but I wanted official joycons to maintain the form factor of the switch for my smallest available switch case.

    I had to replace my red and blue stock controls the switch came with because my dog found them and tore them apart. I looked online and found the Splatoon colored controls which looked awesome, the girls in the family definitely appreciated the brighter colors. They also played really well.

    I bought this extra set of joy cons about four weeks ago. They work really well and they’re really cute! They motivate me a little bit more as I play splatoon 2! :) One thing that I have noticed is that one of the joy cons seems to be slightly loose on my switch. My switch is only about two months old and I’m careful removing and putting joy cons on so I’m not sure what’s up with that. They come in handy when I need extra set of joy cons to play Mario kart with friends.

    Do they work out of the box, yes. Will one or both controllers get the famous Joy-Con drift problem when you are you are at most vulnerable state when you are stressed out and just need the soothing sounds of Animal Crossing but you can’t enjoy it because the controller is not acting right, also yes. I have my original set, and the one that I just purchased with Geek Squad protection. Even though Nintendo offers a free return process for the controllers long past it’s actual warranty period, the first time I got the drift it took them about a month, to send me a replacement. When they work.. they are great. But when I need them to work, my soul screams in pain. It kills me that Nintendo still hasn’t figured out a way to prevent this from happening.

    so far so good, no drifting issues with these! and love the colors a lot. I know with the drifting problems some controllers have, i'd still recommend this style. I broke my elbow a few years ago so holding a single controller is hard for any length of time, these allow my arm to sit in more comfortable positions and give me the ability to change positions without affecting gameplay much.

    While not the original color I was looking for ( I wanted the Yellow and Purple One) these were great. They look great on the Switch too. Haven't experienced any drift with them yet either.

    The colors are really pretty. The neon green and pink remind me of watermelon and it’s just too cute. It works and pairs just as well as the joycons that come with the switch. Price isn’t too bad

    I like the matte feel of these joy cons. It’s sweet to have these with the protection Best Buy so when they eventually drift. So far so good. I enjoy joy cons in general because of the freedom I have to hold them in any position.

    Good color combo, works well. We usually have to upgrade every couple years due to use, I’d say good value !

    These additional Joy-Con controllers are an excellent addition for a Switch, they enable you to play 4-player local games, which makes titles like Mario Party so much more fun. The colors are true to photo, and my kids enjoy them.

    The colors are way nicer in person IMO. These usually stay on my Switch while my grey ones stay charged up on my charging grip, ready to go if I need to swap Joycons or play on the tv while the Switch charges. The price might seem high but these also work as 2 controllers sooo it kinda balances out!

    Great product! I bought these while I was waiting for my original Joy-Con to be calibrated (I use them EVERY SINGLE DAY!) I love the quality and how easy they are to pair up with my switch. The colors are super pretty too!!

    Replacing the old controllers with new original ones was better than buying generic ones; my nephews are happy.

    I actually bought these as additional controllers to the ones that come with the switch. Just as expected and adds a splash of color to the system! Fits perfectly in the quad charger and we have yet to have any issues with either controller. Lets us expand and play the 2-4 player games!
