Bought this blue version of the left joy con to play Mario Party & Just Dance 2021 with my 5 year old daughter as she has the right red joy con.
I have the grey ones that came with the console. Of course those are for Dad alone.
Happy with the purchase and would recommend.

The left controller of our 2+ year old Nintendo Switch quit working unexpectedly during Covid. Luckily Best Buy had the replacement we needed without having to buy a set. This matched perfectly and it was in stock at our local store. Highly recommend... thanks!!

A joycon to replace a broken joycon

Joycons aren’t great. Joycon drift is s a problem and I have had problems in the past with shoulder buttons not working well.
So far this joycon works well, but that’s to be expected as I have never had a joycon with issues out of the box.
Fortunately Best Buy had the left joycon in stock as I have a couple of right joycons that are fine.
Curbside pickup was great as usual.

Great way to replace a joy con that i had sent to Nintendo for 10 repairs due to drift as Nintendo had broken my joy con and refused to fix the drift as they attempted to fix it but kept sending a replacement joy con with button issues

So far so good. Bought it because the one that came with my switch got the infamous "drag". Didn't know that was a thing. Took about 4yrs for that one so hopefully this one lasts the same amount of time or longer.

Great replacement for Nintendo's original faulty product. Going on 5 months of owning this product now without any drift or issues overall. I think this may be an updated Joycon that completely rids all or any risk of drifting happening.

One of my grandchildren ask for a Nintendo You-con controller. I decided to get it for him. He loved it. It was a great choice for him. To see the smile on his face made it all worth it. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to get one.

Four stars because while this specific one that I was is working, the reason I'm buying it is because my original left joy-con's stick began drifting badly. Many people have this iussue. These seem much lower quality than the pro controller, but two joy-cons are more expensive. However, you need them to play hand-held. It stinks. I wish Nintendo would make the joy-cons better.

During the Christmas shopping time, the Switch controllers sold out, so we bought two single controllers as a gift. These are the Nintendo brand, brightly colored, fully functioning like the controllers that came with the Switch. They came with the single controller bar needed to use these without the Switch screen. We have used these interchangeably with our game system.
With extra controllers, more people can play, or you can have two separate two handed controllers. We enjoy having extras for friends or family and we also have a couple of games that require two handed controllers for two people to play the game.
I prefer to buy non name brands but when it comes to controllers I want everyone to have equal control and I don’t want to worry someone has a disadvantage due to cheap controllers.
