    Has anti-slip comfort grips on the back of the unit, which makes it more useful than the original black one we got with our Switch. Also the colors go really well with the Fortnite Joy-Cons! 5 Star!

    It works fine and serves its function but the official Nintendo accessory feels nice in my hand and fits the joycons better. Can’t beat this for the price though.

    Well, without much surprise, this is not as good as the official Nintendo edition. It is a solid product, but the Joy Cons do not always click in perfectly. So sometimes this can lead to the controller slipping slightly during play.

    Not a big issue, but good to know.

    A must have for any Pokmon fan! Only criticism is the lack of metal rails for the joycons to snap into because of the imprecision of plastic moulding the one side is tight to slide in and out which worry’s me for extended use. Accessibility of the buttons to release joycons is bad, they are really hard to access with man hands.

    We brought a switch at Christmas, and some extra controllers. The smaller was to hold the switch controls were not keen on and this are fab for an easier way to play, it was a present for my daughters birthday and she loved it.. both kids can play together now no fighting over who gets the big controlle

    I love this. It fits into my Animal Crossing stuff. The grips are nice that’s on the handles. The problem with it is if you walk away from the switch or it goes to sleep to connect the controller again you have to have it directly point at the switch. I noticed that sometimes you have to adjust how your holding it for different buttons. With the controller that you originally get with the switch it’s not like this.

    I would say this version from PowerA is slightly better than the official version from Nintendo due to the rubberized grips, which as just plastic on the original.

    It fits the controllers and is sturdy. The only reason I’m giving it four stars is because one of the handles won’t stay clicked in. So in fighting games it will slide up as I’m hitting the buttons.

    It’s super adorable and brings me huge amounts of joy when I play the switch but my only complaint is the bumpers have a bit of a wide gap from the grip and can trip up my game play and another con is sadly it seems like one of the sides is broken cause when I play one of my joycons tend to slip out easily or doesn’t really lock down.

    As comfortable as other similar controllers by Nintendo. The design on the controller is fun, bright, and a great addition to any animal crossing gaming collection.

    My only issue is that you can’t attach your joycons to the controller if they have a protective skin on. You have to remove the cover first for them to fit the controller.

    Die Materialauswahl ist etwas “billiger” als beim Original. Im Besonderen ist der Schlitten zum Einklinken der Controller um einiges einfacher gestaltet. Er ist nur aus Kunststoff ausgefhrt und nicht aus Metall, wodurch die JoyCons ggf. nicht ganz so fest sitzen. In der Praxis merkt man das aber nicht. Das Design ist allerdings ausgeklgelter, wodurch diese Version etwas besser in der Hand liegt als der Griff von Nintendo. Zu dem ist die Haptik durch eine Beschichtung der Griffrckseiten besser. Daher wrde ich wieder zu diesem Modell greifen. Klare Empfehlung!

    This is a lot more comfortable to use than the standard one you get with the switch. The pattern is adorable and fits in with the colours of my controllers a lot better than the black. My only issue is the release buttons are a little more awkward to press.

    Adorable and comfy.

    Absolutely adore this! Looks amazing with my Animal Crossing joy-cons which is why I wanted it! My only complaint is that its a bit bulkier than the regular joy-con holder, so it doesn’t fit into my carry case, but I can work around that! Amazing quality and I recommend it! Easier on the hands than the regular joy-con holder!

    Amazing quality!

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersI was a little apprehensive to buy when reading other reviews about the left track not fitting well and the controller popping out.

    1. It is true that the left side is not as easy to slide in as the right. Without much force, if you wiggle the controller, you’ll find the sweet spot and it slides in fine.

    Note: from my limited experience with the brand name grip, I have to do the same wiggle trick as I find it tight

    2. As for the controller popping out. As of right now, it locks fine. Will update if I start experiencing the issue

    Exactly what I needed, controller grip for 2 joy cons (not included). Actually a very nice feel to the grip, nicer than the standard Nintendo one that comes with some consoles. Also looks great with Pikachu, perfect to play Pokmo

    It’s super cute and also very funtional. I had the basic grey one that came with my Nintendo Switch, but unfortunately, it fell under my reclining sofa. I forgot it was there and reclined my sofa, thus rendering the basic grey one essentially useless as it would drain the battery on my joy con controllers faster than it should. Matches my Pikachu joystick thumb grips perfectly!

    This is slightly larger than the grip that is included with the switch and also feels nicer to holder. One minor issue that I’ve found is that the release button on the joy cons are not easy to use and makes them difficult to remove.

    I enjoyed this product. Much handier and its a necessity to be honest when using joy con controllers. Only reason for 4 stars is that it doesn’t say “Nintendo Switch” on the front like the original one. I know its very minor but overall great price and quick delivery.

    My kids pro controller broke and he can’t be playing Super Smash bros on a single joycon because who in the world would do that right!? Those were his words. Anyhow, this works, looks good, has a good snug fit with the joycons, has some texture feel on the back of 2 arms, and overall is a great buy. But most importantly, I won the father of the year award by buying these. Buy it and be in the same club!

    This feels of very similar quality to the official Nintendo grip that came with the Switch; it’s pretty solid and the Joy-Cons fit perfectly. The red is a bit of an acquired taste, but for the price I’m more than happy.

    Very nice in the hand, good rubber grip to it which feels much better than other products, only one slight nit-picking thing making it not 5 star, and it’s just the joycons have a bit of resistance sliding on. Brilliant product, very good for the price, would definitely recommend!

  62. FRATeddyhza says:

     United Kingdom

    Works very similarly to the official grip from Nintendo. Added rubber grips on the back help with immersive gameplay. One downside is that the buttons to release the joy-cons are slightly harder to press, however it does mean that the Joy-cons sit firmly in place within the grip, there is little chance they would be able to be removed. Overall, excluding the rubber grip, there is little visual difference or feel between this and the official Nintendo version and provides the exact same experience for a lower price. Would highly recommend.

    This did feel nice, chunkier than the original Switch grip (I prefer the original).
    However, I only wanted the middle piece so I removed the grips using a screwdriver. This makes the middle piece great as a travel grip that takes up very little room!

    For someone with bigger than average hands, this is a much better fit for me. In all honesty, this grip is probably the closest you can get to the feel of the Pro controller. The rubber padding at the bottom of the grip is also pretty nice. However, I advise you to be careful when you insert and remove the joycons from this grip as they lack the rubber padding on the edges where the joycons attach. Carelessness can result in some scuffs on the joycon, other than that, it’s a great little comfort grip and I recommend it.

    Golden Review Award: 37 From Our UsersNot a bad product, but a little cheap. I wouldn’t have minded paying a few dollars more for the original, but it seems they do not sell it anymore, anywhere.
    Differences from the one that came with the switch (do they now include this one in the newer switches?)
    -Plastic rail vs metal
    -Left Joycon sticks a bit, harder to get on and off
    -Due to design it is harder to press the release buttons on joycons once placed on grip
    -The back grip is rough instead of smooth (this is actually a plus for me, and seems to be the only pro versus original)
    Considering the price and that is has yet to fail, I don’t think it warrants less than 4 stars. I’ll update the review if it breaks or causes damage to the joycons.

    Cheaper than original

    Makes a great comfortable controller for the Switch games that require you to use both bits of the controller. It does what it should…. holding your joy cons exactly how you would want them… and it just becomes an integrated part of gaming.

    If you use the joy cons for gaming, and are looking for something to do this job… go for this one… it does what it needs to.

    This Joy-Con grip is a good additional grip to the grip that comes with the console. This grip is licensed by Nintendo, not made by Nintendo, so it’s not quite up to the quality of the original grip that comes with the console, but very close. The bottom part is a little bigger and sits better in your hands and is rubberized so it doesn’t slip at all like the original grip. The Joy-Cons slide into and click into place pretty well. The slides are plastic instead of the aluminum of the original grip and one of the sides was a little harder to slide into than the other, but not noticeable enough to be a problem. All in all this is a great second grip for a second set of Joy-Cons for your Nintendo Switch.

    Bought this to match my Mario red joycons, which unfortunately does not – it’s more of neon red/orange. I got this on sale for 5 so can’t argue with that price, but if I’d have paid anymore I probably would have returned as it looks cheap.

    It’s slightly larger than the official Nintendo one (this one is licensed by, but not made by Nintendo) which for me is actually a bit more comfortable to hold.

    Nice simple black plastic grip for your joy cons. They easily slide in and the product feels secure and of high quality. Very useful for 1 player games, played like a PS4 or Xbox 1 but you get the most out of the Switch when using the Joy Cons without this grip. Highly recommended if you like playing your games the old fashioned way!

    Golden Review Award: 71 From Our UsersThe controller grip gets the job done at a decent savings. This grip is an officially licensed Nintendo accessory manufactured by a third party. Nothing at all wrong with this, I’ve been buying third party accessories since the original NES launched. The grip tracks that the Joy-Cons slide into are plastic, not a metal track like the one sold by Nintendo. I am giving this a 4 star review because the grip serves its purpose however, there is one flaw. I feel there is a bit of a flaw with the design tolerance with left Joy-Con track. The left track is a snug fit (after a few days of removing/inserting it is loosening up) and takes a bit of effort to insert and remove the left Joy-Con. The right slides right in and out with very little effort while still keeping the controller locked in place. I like this much better than the Nintendo version. Is the tight fit worth returning or not buying? No, I’d buy another if I needed another grip because the grip still works and it saved me a few dollars.

    Golden Review Award: 94 From Our UsersThe previous reviewer got confused thinking this was a product by Nintendo, but don’t let that put you off as the Joy-Con Comfort Grip is a officially licensed Switch product by Power A. Get the cons out the way first, not as nice looking plastic as the official Joy-Con grip that comes included with the Switch. Also the rails that the Joy-Cons slide into are plastic and not metal like the official Joy-Con grip.

    Now on to the pros, the back of the handles have a different shape to them than the official Nintendo Joy-Con grip. It’s alot more comfortable to rest your fingers on, and the back of the handles also have a rubberised grip unlike the slippy plastic of the official Nintendo Joy-Con grip. Definitely worth the low price, has made long Switch gaming sessions more easy on my hands.

    I’ve included some comparison pictures so you will be able to see what i mean by the different shape at the back of the handles. My Power A Comfort Grip has the grey Joy-Cons and my Nintendo grip has the neon red Joy-Cons.
