Ok so bought a DIY kit that lasted 4 weeks, bought a different brand to the real version which started drifting after 4 months and calibration didn’t work, so now bought the proper branded product and works a treat and is just better quality, should have spent the extra in 1st place
Official product so quality is as you’d expect but my word the pricetag is hideous. Shame on Nintendo for making a periferal 1/3 of the cost of the entire console.

Was a little conscious ordering through amazon for a legitimate Nintendo joy con but its real and paired up instantly life saver amazo
Just what I needed and the colours are beautiful better than the original colours!! my daughters switch looks loads better now
Original is always the best . Suggest buying the original joy cons and the accessories can be from a different brand
I love the colours of these and they are brilliant controllers in general.
The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is that I feel there is a small design flaw in that the buttons are not soft touch. For the hefty price of these little devices (and any of the Nintendo branded joycon) I would expect those little extras that make the user experience a little nicer, such as soft touch buttons that don’t make a load of clicky noises when using.
I mostly use my Switch while connected to my TV so I got these Joy-Cons purely to have a second set for my girlfriend or anyone else who visits our home. To be honest, I usually use the Pro Controller and neglect my Joy-Cons a lot of the time, because they’re just not as comfortable to use. That said, that’s not so much a flaw of the design as a consequence of innovation. The Joy-Cons are really designed to be broken off from the Switch console to allow for instant local co-op on the go. They’re genious from that perspective, playing into the sense of fun and play the Switch console seems to have been designed around. My nephews also have a Switch and there have been many family events where they have huddled around a table nearby with their cousins playing a multiplayer game, once the adult conversation has bored them. The Joy-Cons are an essential part of that situation as they can be transported with the console so easily and provide a broad range of control in a small package.
Most of us have heard about drift though, which is the one big black mark against these controllers. They’re not cheap to replace so it’s a pretty big issue that I hope Nintendo will have resolved with their next hardware release.
Glad I went with this I stead of cheaper versions. Work perfectly
Works great on the switch especially for racing games like Mario and Crash. Can now have 4 players at once
Only place I have been able to find singular joy cons instead of having to fork out 85 for a set of joy cons. Works very well, syncs quickly with the switch. Happy child
It’s a must have set for every Nintendo Switch player, as it renews and refreshes the feel of being a JoyCon user.
Recommended for sure!
Wanted to make sure we got the actual Nintendo remote and not a compatible one. Great quality and holding up well to daily use.
Lovely colours, my son like them, they work perfectly, as they should, fast delivery, decent packaging. Happy thank you
Cheapest I could find anywhere and they work brilliantly. Twins very happy with purchase and can now play with their friends.
Synced within seconds , charged quick and fully compatible as expected.
They have a slightly less smooth surface feel than original blue/red which I find makes for a better grip.
Really bright colours and totally responsive when attached to the screen-console or has standalone.
Joy Cons do give Joy.
Works fine as expected of a first party Nintendo produc
Not for me….purchased for the Grandkids at they’re request of course….hopefully they will keep them engaged for a few hours!
I am a decades-long Playstation fan. Yet the family is gradually adopting the Switch because of its more kids-oriented games. Increasingly I am invited to compete in Mariokart, which admittedly is good fun. In particular if you play it with more than two party members.
So while I found this quite an investment at 60, for a set of extra controllers, it will get you much more value out for you Switch system. Moreover it keeps a group of young games relatively quiet for quite some time, well not quiet but at least occupied. We have the odd-coloured Animal crossing Switch machine, so this pair of purple /orange controllers is a welcome addition to the awful colour mix. Although expensive, I must say that the quality of the Joy-con’s is good – although light and smallish, they are sturdy and durable.
Official joy cons. Expensive as hell.. but someone broke my daughters one so she needed new ones and she wanted these colours.they work but the price.yikes.
Great original Nintendo switch controllers and have the option for up to 4 players now or docking 2 into the joy on dock to give a full sized controller setup.
I got this for my Niece and she absolutely loves i
Birthday present which unfortunately arrived after the event so was disappointing for the recipient. However item is as it should be, the right price.
My son was pleased with item ,as he plays his switch alot being Autistic.
They work perfectly fine and came on time! They are good quality and are perfect!
Daughter moaning for a new part of her switch pad came rapid
Bought for my little cousin for his birthday in August 2021. I ain’t heard any complaints so its safe to say its all good
We had the original joycons for about 3 years before they started to wear down, replaced them with these and they’re perfect and work absolutely fine. Gorgeous colours too!
The only bad thing from this was the fact that they advertised it wrong, I bought the item and with the controllers there was sopose to be a charging grip but instead they gave a normal grip which are completly 2 different products. I was a little bummed when I got them but the main items the controllers are fantastic, nice condition and work perfectly. The delivery came very fast and when I got speaking to customer service via email they where very pleasant and dealt with my inquiry.
Love these, they do what they’re designed for. When I bought my Nintendo Switch, the left controller stopped working. So I ordered these and they are great.
We bought these joy cons as the original ones with my sons switch had started drifting. They arrived well within the allotted week. We love the bright colours of this pair too!!
Bought a couple of months ago to replace a broken controller – still works absolutely fine. Need to replace the other one now though as thats going!
Worked straight away when attached to my sons switch. Have tried cheaper ones and have realised sometimes you just have to pay for the proper thing if you want the proper results. Still think they’re expensive for what they are, but that’s nintendo for you.
Got them to replace the drift issue. This is my 4th set since the switch came out (got it at launch) apparently they have sneaked out improved versions with the new zelda official ones. Just admit you have a faulty design and own it nintendo, I’ve now spent more on joycons than buying a switch lite. 4 stars as the service from amazon was excellent but the product is not built to last (2-3* for the product)
Great controllers as expected. Comfortable to hold, though quite small for adult hands. Bright colours and come with the straps too. Would recommend
Bought these as previous controllers started drifting and sticking. I have seen cheaper ones but they are not nintendo and I’m not so up on tech and thought they could be difficult to connect. I was dreading connecting these but had no problems whatsoever. Easy. Now have a happy 10 year old.
The colours are really vibrant and pooing, especially next to my camo dbrand skin almost like the neon blue and neon yellow make the green of my camo skin. I will be back to adjust if I get joycon drift again.
It would be five stars but the price Nintendo charge for these is extortionate.
Good as a new joy con could be.
Nintendo had legal problems about these joy-con.
Apparently they were easy to break so you have to buy a new one and the price is more expensive then a game itself.
My old ones are still both working after 1 year (little bit more loose the left one now), I bought them just for spare.
Anyway if you have a broken one, Nintendo should fix it for free.
The joy-con works perfectly and was really easy to connect. I’ve knocked a star off because my old joy-con started drifting pretty quickly, and I know a lot of switch owners have had the same issue.
I have read reviews that they don’t last long but it’s too early to tell at the moment. It connected straight away and works exactly the same as the original stick that came with it. From what I have read elsewhere it is a common problem the left joy con fails quite fast so I’m not sure why nintendo think it’s acceptable to charge these prices.
I had to get a new left joy con because it stopped working so I decide to just get the set I’m really in love with them and the color is amazing very vibra
Suffered the dreaded joy con drift and bought this joy con whilst the drifting one was sent to Nintendo for repair
Great purchase and worked well. Brighter than the photo and looks great with the left purple joycon from the purple and orange se
Everybody knows about Joycon drift. My original controller started drifting and it made game play really difficult and awful. This controller obviously works at the moment and has improved game play amazingly, but I don’t know how long it will last and I don’t really want to keep buying new controllers. I hope Nintendo solves this issue soon.
I think that 60 or whatever for fixing the nightmare Joy-Cons is something that anyone is going to be happy spending.
I bought these for my friend as her Switch was playing up – and she is super happy with these (plus they look great!!!)
It’s a shame that these are something that will break over time but the replacements are cheap enough and they are the genuine ones.
I’d recommend to anyone.

I recently bought a switch from amazon and the joy cons stopped working. Amazon refunded me for them and I got these. They work well so far, but I know everyone has been having issues with nintendos joycons
I got a pair of joycons a few weeks ago that were styled N64 … They were 40 quid and honestly .. they felt terrible and cheap the Nintendo products feel as you’d expect… Slim. Yh switch always feels better with Nintendo products! It’s a fact . These joyscons were as described and send very quickly … Also the blue and yellow works …
Needed extra joy cons for 4 player games, these are great! Only had grey before so chose something colourful. Lovely and bright and now the kids have their ‘own’ colour.
Such a great addition to our switch! With having to be home together without our family this Christmas we thought we would purchase these joy-cons….they are fab…vibrant colours and have be used daily!
I bought this product to make my switch stand kit from the rest of my family and I love the bright Green & Pink! The pink doesn’t photograph quite as vibrant as it is in real life, it is slightly limitation to the original red one, but it still stands out enough for me! They feel slightly more matte than the original joy-cons which I prefer too! They work perfectly.
I got these because I had no way to prove my purchase of the old ones to get them fixed. However I had barely had these for a week before the left controller started drifting. It was even worse than the old one; I could not play any of my games, especially Animal Crossing, and therefore had to go back to using the old one where the drift is manageable
A must for those big party games!
These work just how you expect then to work! Needed some extra controllers for multiplayer, bought the purple and orange and have to admit, the picture on the package doesn’t compare to how wonderful and vibrant these colour are!! I also find the price justified, I’ve seen each controller sold individually in my area so getting two for the same price for one is a bargin for me!
These arrived around 4 months ago so I’ve had a good amount of time on them. High quality controllers.
You may pay less for third party, but you won’t get the quality of these with that.
I really like the fact that you can buy the Joy-Cons in different colour ways. I have paired the purple one with my pink Joy-Con from another set and they look great together. 1 star off for the price – I do think they are a tad expensive. I have experienced no ‘drift’ issues with this set.

They’re amazing! The blue and red joycons came with my switch, I brought about 2 years ago. The pink and green joycons are the ones I brought for 60. Which is better than any shop near me can offer.
Unlike the original blue and red cons, the pink and green controllers are matt, and they’re so much better. They feel much more sturdy, and they look sleek compared to the originals.
They may appear dead (drained of power) at first, but slot them into the switch, and they connect instantly, with the cons about half charged.
Overall, really happy!
This is the second set of joy cons I’ve bought – the first being the orange/purple set. What can I say, these are minty fresh and look great. Touch wood, I’ve never had joy con drift. But I tend to use a Pro controller the most. I wish these were a bit cheaper, 60-65 is a lot.

eceived my order today ,brilliant next day delivery, however it was a present for my grandsons birthday, who i was looking after today,asked alexa why light flashing and said parcel will be delivered today, however rather than stopping there went on to say what was in parcel so gutted as granson heard,future reference do you need to say whats in parcel?
Bought these to replace my original drifting pair. The colours were swapped from my original Switch which I didn’t even notice until someone else pointed it out.
Whether or not these will also suffer from drift, who knows. For the last month or so though they’ve been fine and had a decent amount of use.
Bought these to replace my origional joy cons as the movement stick seemed to get stuck and my characters kept moving long after I had taken.my hand away. Love these colours and have made my switch look new and can play my games now without inadvertently walking off cliffs
They’re just regular Nintendo switch joy-cons, can’t really say any more than that. So it would be 5* for quality.
However I’m giving 4* since I think they’re overpriced, but you’re not going to find them cheaper as obviously only Nintendo makes these.
I hate that I have to pay this price for Switch controllers but they do work very well. Would be nice if Nintendo included a controller grip with these at it would have cost them pennies to do but it’s going to cost me a tenner to but one.

If you’re playing on the Switch and you want to be able to play with more than 2 players for the games that support it, this is a must. They are also interchangeable with the original ones, so you can give your Switch, a “switch up” in looks.
Bought to replace original V1 Joycons which suffered from awful drift (even after replacing analogue sticks. Deicided that as its been over 3 years since I got the switch then even though they’re expensive replacements were needed. Quick well packaged delivery, instant connection, colours very nice and not too ostentatious. My boy loves them! He uses them for hours every day and they’re holding up well so far.

I bought these after the joy-cons which came with my original Switch started to drift. I’ve given them 5 stars for now since I’ve been using them pretty constantly and they haven’t started to drift yet, but I’ll come back and change this if they ever do.
Aside from that, this is my favourite colour combo for joy-cons. The colours are so bright and vibrant.

After previous issue of waiting 2 months for the same item I thought I would try again and came with 2 days.
works great, genuine parts and quality.
kids happy more of us can play together on their fave games
Joy cons are working brilliantly, the range is good and battery life is excellent. Really one of the best controllers available, especially when playing with family and friends. The colours look awesome although I wish I had chosen the yellow ones now 🙂
Please note that when they state Neon Orange they really mean it! The pictures make it look like a more muted orange but the Joycons are rather bright!
Really nice pair though, the colours are vibrant and after my original pair deteriorated over the last few months (ending with severe joycon drift) I was due an upgrade. I had used them for a couple of years though and have around 1,000 hours of gameplay logged so they lasted pretty well.
These new Joycons feel great, and look great. So I hope to get a couple of years use out of them.
Although I think these are quite pricey for what they are we’ve never had a problem with the original joy cons that came with the console but have gone through 4 cheaper wired controllers that have all developed faults. Hopefully these will last as well as the first pair that are still going strong 18 months down the road. Daughter loves the colours more than the blue/red set.
Product arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I purchased these as a backup set for when my other Joycons are charging or when I want to have 4-player co-op.
I struggle to see how Switch Joycons are value for money considering what they are. I suppose comparitively, controllers for other consoles sell at roughly 40 and these translate to 2 controllers if used singularly.
They work well enough so far, haven’t had any issues with drift. The battery life could stand to be a little longer but then again modern technology doesn’t tend to have great battery span.
You could probably get a knock off set for much cheaper than this but I can’t say how well they would hold up. Nintendo items do hold their value well so you could easily sell these in a few years for 30-40 if kept in good condition.
Needed an extra pair so I could play with family. These do the job but are expensive (as is everything to do with the Switch) and I’m not sure how long they will last as my original pair starting making squeaks and clicks when moving the sticks after only a couple of weeks. Like these colour options though!

I was looking at purchasing some additional controllers for my Nintendo switch for months, but found it difficult to justify because of the expensive price. I finally found these, and they were a reasonable price so I made the purchase. I’ve had them for a couple of months now, and they seem to work exactly the same as my original ones that came with my switch. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for additional controllers.

Couldn’t find these colours (blue and yellow) in many shops so brought from amazon – wanted something a bit different to the original colours
genuine joy-con and work perfectly
great to have another pair for when the battery runs out or having friends over.
With orange being my favourite colour, I had to get these controllers for my switch! The colours are bright and the orange and purple work really well today! I have had no issues with the controllers and they are made really well!
These Joy Cons are really pretty, and mean we can alternate with different colours for our Switch. They also worked perfectly after just an hour or so of charging and don’t lose battery too quickly. My only comment would be on the price, as they are a bit expensive. That being said, I do imagine we’ll get a lot of use out of them

I love these colours, I got them so I could play with a few more friends in group games. They work great, and they look great – and it’s for the best because my Neon Blue one has gone a bit dodgy since.
Price is a little high but I guess controllers normally are around that ballpark figure.
They are a little pricey but well worth the look. My Switch now has a touch of colour.
Packaging 2nd to non. I paid for quick delivery and they came as quick as possible…great service!
I wanted a second set of Joy Cons and decided to get these as soon as I saw them on pre order….
They look fantastic, great colours and they have performed perfectly so far, I haven’t taken them off the Switch since they arrived and don’t think they’ll be coming off it anytime soon, the original grey set have now become my back up pair or for use on the grip at home when my Pro Controller needs a charge.
Love the colour scheme and somehow they seem more accurate and responsive than the original set that came with the console so definitely all good, 5 stars.

Quite quickly, I noticed a loud ‘spring sound’ whenever I moved the joystick on the right joy-con. After a few days, Amazon promptly issued a replacement, which has been great so far. From reading in forums relating to the same issue, it seems Nintendo’s quality control is in serious need of review…
*ORIGINAL*
I’ll keep it brief:
The Joy-Cons are great – better than the ones that came with my Switch, which have a slight wobble when attached to the console.
The colour scheme is great and suits my personal preference.
They work as expected. This is a lot of money for two chunks of plastic with a few buttons included, though. I bought this set because ONE of my joycons broke, and unfortunately Nintendo don’t sell these separately.
If only one of yours needs replacing and you don’t mind preowned electronics just pick up a second hand one from Ebay or a shop, I only bought a brand new pair because I couldn’t get past not knowing if a preowned joycon has been in some kid’s mouth or something gross like that.
The joy-cons are very space economic making it easy enough to carry them in a travel bag and, even though they are small, they are still easy to use with some great motion sensors.
No problem recommending them so far.
So anyone buying these controllers don’t buy the straps as it comes with the controllers too. Unless you do want different colours as these come with plain black straps.
The price is quite steep compared to Xbox One & PS4 controllers, which can be found for around 30 – 50 depending on where you look new at the time of writing, but they do contain all the features of the joy-cons that come packed in the box – including Amiibo, IR and gyro functions. They come with great battery life and when connected to the dock will charge alongside the Switch itself.
My only one recommendation would be to grab a Pro Controller for around 55 (again at time of writing) if you’re looking for something a little bit more familiar to controllers of other consoles. Unless you want 4 player co-op with these two additional joy-cons.
Very expensive… but I can’t help loving the Joy Con’s, and a spare set is always handy. Little tip for those who are idiots like me, the way to remove the supplied grip is by using the little white button on the bottom as opposed to pushing in the release button at the top (i.e. the one you use to release from the Switch).
4 stars only due to how ridiculously expensive these are, however, Amazon should get 5 stars for sorting out the issue I had with my first set. Basically, even though I updated them the right Joy Con (the Pink one) didn’t work properly when it wasn’t connected directly to the Switch. However, this being Amazon, I had no issues returning them and the replacement was delivered the next day, before my return was collected. If only Customer Service was this good everywhere!
Then I found these, or rather they found me, and everything changed. They spoke to me, to the very core of my being. And the night that followed our brief encounter they called my name, or rather my Nintendo Switch nickname, which woke me up – spiritually. So I placed the order and received the meaning of my life in the mail only days later.
And I can honestly say that everything has since changed on both sides of my Switch. Green and Pink, neon. Needless to say, the vast void, the profound emptiness is now a thing of the past.
My life is again filled with purpose and joy.
