    I prefer the old Wii controllers, but these are not bad for a new iteration. My only complaint is that left-handed persons will find this joy-con a bit awkward to use for certain games (e.g. Mario Cart or games requiring the D-pad) but this is relatively minor.

    Awesome that I was able to acquire this at standard MSRP since everyone is scaling prices on this controller. Thanks to Best Buy for sealing preorders on this one

    These are great when you have any body playing. If you have one player, two players, three players and four players. They are great and not so big like other remote controllers. Nintendo Switch did a great job when they made this.

    Works great and just like the original that comes with the Switch. Great to have the option to only buy one since we only needed a third for Mario Party.

    Bought this with the (L) controller and this controller is working without any difficulties or problems despite reports about malfunctioning controllers with Switch. Recommended if a new controller needed.

    Every single one of these has broken. Does not last more that a few days and the joystick button / crouch option in most games stops working. Also the joysticks get less and less accurate as you put more hours on the controller. I have purchased 5 of these in succession as the joysticks broke on every single one of them.

    Got it quick and great quality. My dog chewed my last one, and it’s great that you can buy just one joycon.

    Some connection problems which Nintendo is aware of. Also annoying that the single joycon costs more than the dual pack.
