    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.

    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.
