    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.
