    I'm happy that you can buy replacement controllers for the switch, because my son had a button go on one. I wish they were a bit cheaper though.

    Works perfectly. Feels a little bit lighter that’s the original joy-con that came with the switch. Bought as a replacement for one that has drift issues.

    Controller works great for now. Just hope it doesn’t have the same issue the original had with the drifting problem. It seems to be a running problem with the switch controllers. Glad I got the protection for this one.

    Was impossible to find the pairs anywhere. Had to get them individually. Seems too expensive for just one, but it’s better than getting cheap knock offs.

    It’s working great so far. Hopefully it won’t start drifting like my other left joycon started doing. I enjoy playing handheld mostly, so for me the joycons are the way to go. There’s nothing wrong with having a couple extra joycons at your disposal.

    Easy enough to use... Sometimes can't be used alone has to used with other remote too. Depends on the game. Recommend to buy a pair just in case.

    A Left Joy-Con for Your Switch

    It's a Joy Con with all its issues and benefits. While there isn't any initial drift, I don't believe Nintendo has addressed the issue so it most likely will eventually drift, which is unfortunate. Other than that potentiality, it's great!

    Works great out of the box, and I'm looking forward to using the GeekSquad Protection to replace it when it will eventually start to drift.
