    Instead of paying $80 for two, $50 isn’t half bad when you don’t desire to to fix joycon drift

    My son plays fortnite a lot. He is hard on the left joystick so I’m glad I can get just the one side now.

    It works fine but these things feel cheap and break, in my opinion, too soon after purchase.

    When I bought the joycon. It started drifting badly even without moving the joystick. Buy with caution that this could happen.

    these things seem to break on the regular. I currently have 3 of them on my desk right now all three have broken. One is disassembled as a sacrifice to see how they are connected inside so I can order parts and repair the others.

    Packed with neat technology. Unfortunately, the analog stick mechanism is crummy and prone to drifting and/or a weird springy feel with accompanying noise.

    Works great when it works. I am really tired of the joy con drift. I don't understand how nintendo could make a system for 4 yrs and still to resolve this issue.

    Good while it lasts, but ultimately a defective design. I keep needing to buy these because of the dreaded “joy-con drift” that occurs (google it). If I wasn’t so invested in the Switch platform (which is great overall) I’d consider stopping buying these, but it is what it is. Nintendo does offer to fix them for free at this point (because of a lawsuit), but I hate the process of sending things in and what not - and when you want to play, you just want to play.

    I wish nintendo would fix their joycon drift issue so I will stop having to purchase only the left or right one of these joycons.
