I wanted something to prevent my controllers from getting scratched up. I saw these on sale for $4.99 and decided why not? I bought them and I put them on, they got perfectly. The rubber does not bother, and the rubber pieces for the joy stick knobs give an even better grip for your thumb when playing. It makes the switch feel heavier but might be in my mind. But definitely not scratching up the controllers now.

There are great at protecting the controllers. I don't like oil getting on my joy cons, as it makes the plastic less "soft" and appear more shiny. The thumb grips are amazing, much better than others I have used. The silicon mold also gets really thick underneath the grip and forms to your palms. This is great, especially for people with large hands. Be careful if you have a case that molds to the shape of the switch, as it won't be able to be pushed down all the way, however, this will usually result in the case being slightly stretched as long as your case is not made of metal, so no big deal really.

Awesome covers and grips for Joycons!

These are silicone covers and grips for your joycons. I absolutely love these. Not only are the silicone covers soft and easy to put on the joycons, but they feel nice in hand too. The best part of these particular grips in my opinion is that on the underside of the joycon they add a rounded portion underneath for ergonomics.
This fixes one of the biggest problems when gaming in handheld mode with a switch: hand cramps. Normally joycons are flat and over time are somewhat uncomfortable to use for extended periods of time. These grips fix all those problems with the comfortable ergonomic design.
Also the grips come with caps for the joysticks which is great.
I HIGHLY recommend this to any switch owner not only for protecting their controllers, but for the comfort aspect AND because the price is cheap compared to other options.

These do make the joy-cons a little more comfortable and offer protection. I think the only con to it is that putting on the sliding mechanism when these are attached is a little tricky. Not a deal breaker though.

It's really good for gripping the controller especially if you have big hands. The joycons are small and focusing on the action while trying not to make the controller slip out of your hand can give you a migraine. However, these grips especially the ones for the sticks go a long way.

The Joy Con Gel guard is a very good investment for the price. The gel guards add a very comfortable feel when used in hand held mode. Also they add extra grip to the Joy Cons. I feel that this is a must have. I have one set now and will be buying extra to stock up on.

Very nice grip although it fits a bit loose but not enough to ruin the feel. Makes it easier to take off.

These are great, simple covers for my joycon controllers. I bought them in teal and it adds a great pop of color without being too much. Also added protection!

I love to use these on my switch. You can use them while the remotes are stand alone or attached to the screen. It makes it easier to hold and grip. I just wish I could leave them in when I merge the 2 controlled in to the one big controller.
