These Joy-Cons are awesome—bright, fun colors and responsive controls. I picked them up to replace a drifting set, and they’ve worked perfectly so far. Syncing was easy, and they feel just like the original ones. Plus, the new colors make my Switch setup look fresh again. No complaints.

1. Matte finish feels a lot better than the switch 1 version.
2. A little bit bigger and easier to hold for adults
3. MORE responsive than the switch 1 version
4. The Click sound when attaching to the switch is so satisfying to hear and feel
5. Mouse-ish functionality feels quite responsive to movement.
6. Ive been using since release, no drift so far.
7. battery life is quite long to play for extended time without needing to re-attach to switch to charge.
8. Color is perfect
9. The release button to remove from the console is perfect.
10.

The Nintendo Switch 2 joy-cons are upgraded and snap on the console with ease. They respond perfectly when clipped to the console. Time will tell if these are more resilient than the Switch 1 controllers. I just wish Nintendo would knock the price down back to pre-tariff prices.

Much better than the original joycons for sure an upgrade in both the size and sturdiness especially of the joy sticks. Still have to use them for a while to see about drift to be honest but they do feel less “cheap” than the original joycons. I do wish they had more colors and variations though because that’s what I enjoyed most about the original joycons but again these will do. I again just feel like controllers are so expensive now so I couldn’t justify giving 5 stars.

A Huge Upgrade With One Small Wish
The Joy‑Con 2 controllers are exactly what I hoped Nintendo would deliver for the Switch 2. They feel tighter, smoother, and way more responsive than the originals. Every button press has a cleaner snap, the sticks feel sturdier, and the improved motion tracking makes games feel more accurate and fun. You can tell Nintendo really listened to years of feedback and rebuilt these with quality in mind.
The new features are honestly my favorite part — better battery life, improved vibration, and a more comfortable grip that makes long sessions way easier on the hands. It’s the kind of upgrade you don’t fully appreciate until you go back and realize how much better these feel in every game.
If I had to point out one thing missing, it’s custom colors or personalization options. The Joy‑Con 2 performs amazingly, but I’d love to see more ways to make my Switch setup feel unique. A few bold colorways or themed editions would take it from great to perfect.
Even with that small wish, the Joy‑Con 2 is an outstanding product. It’s reliable, comfortable, and a massive improvement over the original design. If you’re upgrading to the Switch 2, these are absolutely worth it.

These are a nice upgrade over the joy-con's for the original Switch. The build quality feels much stronger compared to the originals, though time will tell if this holds up or not.
The joy-con sticks have a nice feel to them as does the body of the controller. The bigger size means you won't get hand cramps as quickly when playing with a single joy-con in horizontal mode.
If you have a Switch 2, pick up an extra pair for some 4 player MKW.

Joy-Con 2 - Easy to Connect & Use

Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Ok, these look and work great (obviously). My one problem is that they do NOT come with the hand-held dock thing that allows you to use two joy-cons as a single large controller.
The Switch 1 joy-cons came with that. That's a problem for me since I have small kids that don't quite have the coordination to use these standalone in two hands.
If not for that, I would give this 5 stars. For the amount that these cost - I expected that to be included.

The new Joy Cons are great, similar to the originals but bigger and have some great updates like the 'mouse' function and the magnet docking system.
Kuddos to my local Best Buy, since we got these in-store at midnight launch and the event was perfectly organized and with no issues.

Reliable, Comfortable, and Perfect for Family Gami

I purchased the Nintendo Joy-Con 2 (L/R) as a replacement set and as an extra pair for multiplayer games, and they’ve been a great addition to our setup.
The biggest plus is how versatile they are. Whether you use them attached to the Switch, in the grip, or sideways for multiplayer, they respond well and feel comfortable in every mode. For family game nights, having another pair makes it easy for more people to jump in without any hassle.
The responsiveness is excellent. The motion controls, buttons, and analog sticks all feel accurate and smooth. Games that rely on motion or precise movement—like Mario Kart, Smash Bros, or party games—run exactly how they should.
Pairing and setup are extremely simple. You just slide them onto the Switch or connect wirelessly, and they sync immediately. No complicated steps, which I appreciate.
If there’s one concern, it’s that Joy-Cons are small, so adults with bigger hands might need a few minutes to get used to the size—especially when using a single Joy-Con for multiplayer. And like most Joy-Cons, they’re not cheap, so adding multiple sets can get expensive.
Overall, the Nintendo Joy-Con 2 pack has been reliable, comfortable, and perfect for expanding our multiplayer options. They work exactly the way they should and have held up well during regular family use.

This product is a must have for your Switch 2. The need for additional Joycons allows for additional gamers to join in of the gaming action. The Switch 2 comes with two Joycons and we have multiple wireless controllers but several of our games require usage of the Joycons. We like the larger Joycon as well that allows for a better gaming experience.

A must-have for the Nintendo Switch 2

Nintendo Joy-Con 2 (L)/(R) is a substantial upgrade over its predecessor, offering refined ergonomics and innovative new features that make it a must-have for the Nintendo Switch 2. The fragile rail system is gone, replaced by powerful magnetic connectors. They snap onto the console with a satisfying click and detach easily using a dedicated release button. Whether you're looking for a replacement or a second set for 4-player Mario Kart World, the Joy-Con 2 is well worth the purchase
