    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.

    Excellent gift for my daughter on her birthday. It comes with several games. It's phenomenal. It's a game that can be played as a family.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Additional Joycons

    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.

    The new JoyCons feel amazing. They are larger than the Switch 1 JoyCons and are more ergonomical. They feel natural and more sturdy in your hands which makes for better gameplay.

    Extra set of joycons is always useful. I like they can be split to be two controllers. A bit expensive but since they can be used as 2 controllers its worth getting them.

    Nintendo fixed most of the problems with the original Switch's JoyCons, added some neat features, but the problem of stickdrift remains. For what this cost, Nintendo could have given us hall effect sensors. I'm not satisfied with them, but I'm not dissatisfied with them either.
