They are very innovative as controllers, very beautiful but quite expensive for what they are. Also, they are a no-no for those with large hands. I got them as extras for multiplayer games but they definitely do not replace the pro controller.
Within 4 months, the console broke down and it doesn't work when you plug it in, it doesn't recognize it and it doesn't charge. The issue is that you have to send it to Nintendo headquarters.
With moderate use, after a while, one of the two fasteners of the stand broke, and the left joycon cannot stay in place. Tragic construction. It's not worth even 20€, and it's sold for 70€-90€
the worst thing I have ever bought. It is NOT worth even a euro. better to spend a little money to get something better. I can't play from the console and I always have to connect them to the TV. And one star is enough
Authentic joycons! Durable against tumbles as my little one has kicked them about ten times and they still work!!! Their size is a bit small for adults but with the base that connects them, it creates a regular controller!
Even more beautiful up close, especially when they are on the Switch. Their quality is the well-known Nintendo quality. There are many alternative joycons on the market in various shapes, but nothing comes close to the quality and functionality (Amiibo, motion control, console wake-up) of the originals.
Very good, personally I find the joy-cons very convenient as controllers, that's why I bought this extra set.
Very good quality, convenient and it completely transforms the switch when you put them on.
If you lost them - they have completely dissolved, I would say you should get them if it's for joy con drift, there are ways to fix them without spending so much for new ones
Very good controllers, they are the first ones I buy after the classic drift that the specific ones had that are included in the console's packaging.
Very nice color, giving a new touch to the console.
Time will tell how long they will last.
They are definitely not worth 80 euros, but what can we do, Nintendo is not used to lowering prices on its products.
I got a new one after 2.5+ years and only one had minimal drift, although they are amazing controllers (the size of the buttons and joysticks never bothered me), I think 80€ is expensive and they are not worth that money. For the same price, the pro controller is better, especially if you play in dock mode.
One and a half years later, the right lever broke but they replaced it immediately and without any additional expenses. Good price compared to other stores.
I happened to drop the controller from the couch (not a major fall), and they couldn't charge... Luckily, it was under warranty and they repaired it for me and also added something extra inside (I didn't quite understand) for better durability. Overall, the service was fast and very helpful! As for the colors, the orange is exactly like in the picture, the purple is more purple while in the photo it looks somewhat pink. Okay, the size and everything related are the standard for the switch. I really liked it :)
A lot of money just for the different color, generally the joy-cons don't have a good grip for pressing L/R + combination (if you have big hands) resulting in some games that require the above combination either difficult in timing or slipping out of your hand (for those who use them in gamepad form there is no problem)
Very nice and user-friendly, fast connection with the console, quality construction and definitely worth the money. I didn't understand what difference the neon packaging brings, of course, but everything works perfectly...
The classic joycons but with a more unique and beautiful appearance. The buttons, functions, and feel are exactly the same. Whether they are worth the extra money is clearly a subjective matter and depends on how much you love Zelda games and specifically Skyward Sword. (There are rumors that it has a different internal design that prevents drift, but they have not been confirmed. In my case, after 6 months, they have not presented any issues.)
Exceptional and innovative controller for yet another generation from Nintendo. It frees up your hands as a gamer and gives you more freedom. It is difficult for me to go back to the traditional controller after this experience.
Nintendo has accustomed us to exceptional controllers all these years. Unfortunately, the Joy-Cons are a tragedy. While they work well in handheld mode, in wireless mode they are simply terrible. They constantly lose signal, and when they are slightly hidden from the player's body, they don't work. The controllers also suffer from drifting. Of course, someone can try to fix the controllers since there are countless ways on YouTube that can provide solutions, but when we are talking about a big manufacturer like Nintendo, mistakes are not forgiven, and we also don't see any reaction from the company. Personally, I consider the controllers to be the worst ever, since a controller should provide uninterrupted functionality. Furthermore, the fact that they are so expensive makes their replacement a particularly difficult process.
The second pair that I am changing because it broke... I have never seen such poor construction in a console controller.... And I didn't expect Nintendo to do such a cheap job... Simply shameful....
They are the same joy con as the package but in purple and orange neon as they say!!
I bought them as a second pair to have four for the group and also to play with 2 complete controllers with my partner or with a friend (I bought a second controller dock for this).
Obviously, they are tragically overpriced at €50, but what can you do... And the dock was the one that charges simultaneously if they are wired.
As a group, we usually play Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Mortal Kombat, etc. They are quite durable, I don't understand why they would break for someone, how intensely do they need to be hit, with this treatment no controller will remain clean over time.
They are worth it as long as they are used.
If you simply want to have an extra controller, it is better to go for the Nintendo pro, which is the best.
We often gather in groups of 4 or 2, so I preferred a pair of joy cons plus an extra game pad dock for a complete controller with recharging.
I have them in pink and green and I'm thinking of getting new ones.. the problem is that I constantly play Fortnite and they break more easily.. for calmer games like Mario, you won't have any issues
In less than 2 years, it started to freeze and now it needs replacement! The buttons are very small and close to each other for an adult! Also, very expensive
It was purchased for €55 during Black Friday sales. Like all Switch peripherals, they are overpriced. I do not recommend buying them for more than €60.
They are like the Joy-Cons that come with the console, but in a neon yellow color (the nicest in my opinion).
I have the feeling that they have a better connection than the gray ones that come with the console, but it might just be my imagination.
They do not have the grip included, only the gray plastic with the two buttons and the strap. Personally, I find it convenient to play with separate Joy-Cons. However, if someone doesn't, then they will need a grip.
I try to avoid playing with just one Joy-Con because it is too small.
I don't think they can handle intense "action" (e.g. Smash Ultimate), but I have played Zelda, Xenoblade, Messenger, etc. without any major issues.
