    Nintendo Joycons work well if you’re very careful with them. We switch players know about eventual drift so I can’t lie and say their great. If you use them sparingly in handheld and keep them clean you should be fine. If you’re rough with them they won’t last long.

    Works great with the switch. Bought some KO in the pet that didn’t work well ( like randomly go right type of stuff) but these work great!! I had the OLED version (white) so the color is a nice change of pace. Still sucks paying so much ($65) for controllers but at least you get 2…

    Joy-Con brings Joy to Grand daughter

    I bought this as a gift for my granddaughter and she loves it. She is 7 and they are great for her, easy to use and not too big for her small hands. Wireless features make them great to use from anywhere in range of her game. The controllers are well made and they work great with her Switch gaming system. The colors of the controllers make them easy to find when they fall to the floor and she can distinguish them from the other remotes and controllers by the colors. They are durable (she hasn't broken them)the quality is good and seem like they will last. Pricing was comparable to other vendors. The ordering and curbside pick up worked well for us as we don't live in the same state. The whole process couldn't have been easier.

    Worked great. The colors were the only option local and delivery to choose and availability was an issue for other colors. Overall the controllers worked as required. We enjoyed multiple games of 4 person Mario Cart which is always fun. I like these but I still prefer the larger controllers.

    Definitely worth it to purchase a second set of controllers, especially if you have more than one person to play with I would recommend if you have the system definitely add a second set, and possibly even a third set for multi gamer play

    They are as they seem! That is, they seem to be just like the original one, for the switch. Now, we can have all 3 of us play (or for you, up to 4) at the same time, for games (like Mario Cart) where you use one of those two controllers. (Colors didn't mean anything to us. We got "NeonPink/NeonGreen" only b/c it could arrive more quickly than other options. Maybe different colors has some minor benefit, mentally remembering which one to charge, or something. But otw, you'll immediately know, yourself, if you care about color - or it seems non-relevant... I think.)

    These controllers are durable, look great (if neon pink and green are your type of thing), and work as expected. They are a bit expensive compared to their wired counterpart, but having the wireless option is worth the premium.

    The controllers are Nintendo and work as designed. Love the colors as my nephew went to Clemson. I know they’re Splatoon colors tho. I try to stick to original brand as much as possible to ensure the best game play. I’ve had third party before, sometimes I’ve been disappointed and sometimes not. But I’ve never been disappointed with Nintendo.
