    Works exactly as intended. It is exactly like the original manufacturer, which is supposed to be.

    My grandson wanted another controller for his Nintendo Switch so he could play games with his family or his two friends. This worked out perfectly. It was a nice surprise for him with free and fast delivery. He loves it!!

    When my Switch’s original bright blue controller joystick broke due to a tumble in the middle of the night, I knew I couldn’t wait for the time required for a Nintendo repair. I’m the impatient sort. Luckily, Best Buy had the color I wanted at regular price (unlike a famous bookstore that marked up the price of this color considerably).

    This joy-con is doing better than the original we got with the Nintendo. You need just one controller replacement, pick one up.

    Came when BestBuy said it would and works just as expected. We have 3 in our family; it’s super nice that you can buy just 1 Joycon instead of being forced to purchase 2 at double the price. No complaints.

    The neon blue joy con controller was purchased to replace one that stopped working. Grandsons play the Nintendo Switch at least three times per week, so the joy cons get a lot of use.
