    I bought this one and a knock off brand. If you are looking for a new joy-con definitely spend the money for the real deal! A world of a difference

    This was a really cool purchase. My daughter had 1 drifty joy con and it was nice to purchase just one when we only needed one.

    Love the color and gives you the ability to have more players. Easy to use but with big hands, it is a bit awkward.
