Make sure these get a really long charge before using them on console to begin with. Could use a slightly higher thumb stick but got cute thumb grips for them
Bought this to have an extra pair of controllers to play with friends and I’m in love with them. They feel smoother than the original ones and the colours are perfect.
They feel sturdier than the original controllers my switch came with years ago.
They came with controller drift which is quite annoying when you’re playing video games but it’s easy enough to get used to. Good condition boxes, come with controller straps and very appealing colours.
hey arrived today and i’m so happy with them! they look just as good as i hoped they would. my only complaint is that they aren’t the cheapest, but if you’re needing another pair of joycons i’d highly recommend them.
They look excellent on the switch. The buttons have that snappy sound while pressing, and the sticks feel soft to touch and not stiff at all, a problem with most third party controllers. Excellent product as always.
As every switch user my original joycons ended up with the dreaded drift. So I decided to treat myself to a new pair and its a complete gamer changer I love them. The colour is a bonus as well
Original joycon had stuck drift so bought this as a replacement and does the job perfectly. No issues, just a shame to pay such a steep price for such a small controlle
These are the genuine ones, as i had to replace the original ones, which started drifting on one pad, while i realise i could have bought a sensor replacement kit, which is almost as much as a new pair of joycons.
Decided to just buy some one ones. Maybe sometime i will get a sensor kit for the old ones, when the price is more reasonable.
These aren’t cheap – you can pick up other non-Nintendo Switch controllers for much less, but being Nintendo you know they will work with your Switch. Quality appears very good and they are colourful enough to reduce the chance of them getting lost!
So the red controller just stopped working, don’t know if this is a marketing ploy by Nintendo so people have to splash out on replacements, as we’ve only had it since Christmas, but after trying everything to make it work, reluctantly ordered a new one yesterday. Delighted to say not only did it arrive extremely fast, it works perfectly.
Fingers crossed it lasts longer than 6 months this time!!
My left joycon stopped working so I purchased this to replace it, worked straight away thankfully. I got this official Nintendo one as there were mixed reviews for the knock-offs but I’d rather pay the extra to know the product will last.
Bought for use while my original left Joy-Con was sent in for its analogue stick to be repaired and the rail to be replaced, as wasn’t sure how long it would take, and as I normally play in handheld mode I thought I’d get another pair to tide me over.
Comparing these to my 2017 Switch original Joy-Cons I think Nintendo have reduced the amount of flex in the rails when holding they seem to be a lot tighter on the console.
Hasn’t disconnected once from my console in handheld mode.
The colours seem to be slightly different from their opposite side same colour that came bundled with the console, though this may slightly be due to age of my originals.
Seem to be more robust.
Can’t go wrong with genuine Joy-Cons plus can send them into Nintendo for repairs.
The colours are beautiful, and when latched onto my very old Switch, it just freshens everything up. My old controllers feel so smooth compared to the new-ness of this type of plastic, it has a rough untouched feeling towards it.
Anyway these controllers have been working perfectly. It’s unique colours makes it easy to recognise when I bring them to my friends.
TIP: I use to stick a few tiny stickers just to tell them apart otherwise! If you find this tip helpful, I’d be appreciative if you could feel free to express it!
I have been looking for a pair of joy cons for my switch as mine haven’t been working properly since it’s second hand. These have been working perfectly and there’s no drift to them at all. They work great. I totally recommend them
These Nintendo Joy-cons are the real deal. They work. But are too expensive for an item that wears out far too quickly. Shame on you Nintendo !
Don’t buy the Non-Nintendo copies. They are a waste of time.

Thank goodness for buying these separately! My sons Switch controllers had stopped working properly and I was worried I’d either have to replace the whole thing or pay for it to be repaired. Replacing these solved the problem instantly.

This is our second set of replacement joy cons that we’ve had to buy for our switch.
The drift issue is real, it’s annoying and it feels like Nintendo treat these controllers as consumable items because they can be detached from the console and easily replaced… at least, at a cost.
It’s cheaper to buy the extended warranty at check out when offered, I feel we’ll eventually need to get a replacement set again.

These were bought as a gift, a bit pricey and they don’t come with a controller dock (can buy these elsewhere/argos/amazon etc.
Bought as a gift and recipient was happy. They look nice!

Great price, for aa genuine product i had this on offer, work as expected great spare set. Bought as a spare , so daily used at the moment, was on offer at time of purchase.
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

We’ve been needing extra controllers for ages and these are just perfec
Do the job brilliantly, no issues. They’re expensive but glad I went for official ones
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.

Love the colour gives the kids a good selection on what colour they want to be.
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
Great, vibrant colours and quality is fantastic! Works great on my new OLED model too!
Good controls, easy to connect to Switch and arrived quite quickly. All official and no problems.
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
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!
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!!
This product is great. Needed a new one as the other one stopped working after about 4 years. Fast delivery
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)

These are great..my daughter uses these all the time..great colour..Nintendo stuff is expensive for what it is but hey ho!
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.
I bought these for my son last Christmas and they work perfectly. The colours are amazing and they charge well on an external charger.
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.
This item is perfect, had drift in one controller and changing it was my best option. Being able to buy one meant the other side controller could be saved too.
I like the Nintendo switch controls, easy to hold in you hands, great value, easy to press the buttons especially for younger kids, I would definitely recommend them.

These controllers are very great if you want another pair to go with your Nintendo Switch. They are easy to manage. Plus, they come with controller straps if you are doing something with a lot of movement. Highly recommend!
It would be five stars but the price Nintendo charge for these is extortionate.
