The original joy-con coming with the switch was Neon Blue(the right one), and Red(the left one), my son's control broke and I just bought the blue one but I didn't check this is the left one, so very carefully when you buy them, out of that, the device is good, works perfect and my son REALLY use it.

So far so good, just really hope it doesn't get stick drift like all other Switch thumbsticks. Also way too expensive.

The Joy Con replacement controller is the same as the one that comes new in the box with the Switch. If you’re buying this you probably already know what you’re going to get. It’s not the most well made controller that Nintendo has ever produced but it’s serviceable for playing games on the go. Prone to experiencing “drift” after some use, meaning the analog directional stick becomes unusable at which point a new controller will need to be purchased.
