Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Joy-Con (L) Wireless Controller's wireless functionality and how well it works with the Nintendo Switch. Many appreciate its ease of use and reliable performance. However, some customers find the price of a single controller to be high, and a few have reported connection problems, particularly with earlier versions. The overall experience is positive for most users.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Necessary to buy the right joy con too, but worked

    Best thing about this is that it was in stock, and still is. The device paired well with the separate right joycon which I also purchased and I have had no problems. This is only half of a controller for single player games like Zelda, but works for a multiplayer game such as Mario Kart.

    My wife and I own an After School Center, and these controllers get a lot of use. We are very happy with the quality and ease of charging them. I would definitely recommend these controllers to anyone with this game system.

    Not a Wii controller, but a decent new iteration

    Still prefer the Wii controllers of old, but the joy-cons aren't that bad as a new iteration. My only complaint is that right-handed people will find the left-handed joy-con weird to use when playing games like Mario Cart, etc. (vice versa for left-handed persons). But this is relatively minor.

    Things break and when they do, it's nice to know a replacement can be had at Best Buy. In my case, a 5 minute drive away, or a quick delivery will put you right back in the game...

    Our left joycon had connection issues after a year, so we purchased this one. After 1 month, it wants to scroll right all the time. Overpriced and not reliable.

    Perfect item, works like a charm. A bit pricey, but a must have for anyone wanting to play the Switch with more than 2 players.

    Absolutely nothing negative to say about the single joy-con but if you're buying one, you might as well buy the pair and save on the cost. I am still surprised at the build quality Nintendo put into these.
