    Kinda sucks as a third party option. The joy-cons pop out of you get too aggressive, and that is something that never happens on the Nintendo branded option. Probably would shell out the extra couple bucks for a real one if pressed again.

    These sometimes get disconnected. It’s either this or the joy con. Either way it’s annoying.

    The joy con on the left side slips out easy, and falls out during play sometimes.

    Latches that hold the controllers into the body on this are made of plastic and wear out almost immediately. The nintendo made latches are all metal and are much sturdier.

    Buyer beware! This is not an official Nintendo product. It is a 3rd party Nintendo authorized product that will stop working correctly after usage. The tracks that the Joycon controllers slide on are plastic and wear out! Don’t waste your money. Spend the extra $$ for a Nintendo stamped product.

    This really helps because the remotes by themselves are tiny. So connecting both the remotes to this hand held device helps people with regular or larger hands (not child sized hands)

    If you plan to use the 2 Joy-Cons as more of a classic style controller this is a must have item. Works the exact same as the one that comes in the box this one is just red and black

    This is a very cheaply made knock off. After a few uses the controllers no longer click into the handheld.
