They work well. I don't appreciate how costly the joy cons are in all honesty, each one being around the same price as the excellent Xbox One controller but they do have wii like functionality (as I found out through 1-2 switch) so the cost may be warranted (still not sure). But all in all, the buttons are clicky which i love, the colours are very vibrant and neon, they remind of the vibrant colours found on sour candies. Also, there are no other options if you want to play 4 player on Mario Kart at home so I guess I had no alternatives to this expensive product anyway. I'm not too mad though, the controllers are good and just like the ones you would have received when you bought the switch itself.

The colour of the two controllers are fantastic but maybe just a tad bit of a deeper pink/green than the Pro Controller of the same colour scheme. I picked these up after my original left joy-con was beginning to slide out of the mechanism without pressing the release button.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)

This Joy-Con pair completes me. Makes me whole. I didn’t know what I was missing in my life; religion, a hobby - money. I tried it all, but nothing satisfied the enternal darkness that consumed me. Nothing gave meaning to my pointless and astronomically brief life.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,

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.

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,

Really useful addition to the switch, allowing me to play with up to four people in the house and on the go. I don't mind the price, given the amount of technology sitting within them. Setting them up was easy, all I did was attach them onto the switch and they automatically paired with the device.They seem to have amended the manufacturing process (for the better) slightly, these joy cons fit much more snug on the side of the switch, the ones that came with the console wiggled ever so slightly.Look forward to seeing what colours they decide to do in the future!

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.

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!

*UPDATE* 5 -> 4 StarsQuite 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.

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.

Bought this a week ago and has been in constant use. Service from Very was great as I had this delivered to a local shop using collect + which was free and meant I could collect around my busy schedule. Packaging was excellent to ensure item arrived in pristine condition.This item is great if you have the neon Switch console as it means you can utilize the neon red or neon blue setup. This is because these are the reverse setup to the ones that come with the console.Excellent all round and would definitely recommend to others.

Dreaded drift started to happen on the left joy con. No matter how many times I did the calibration it just would not stop. All controllers where updated and the console it’s self. I even did a factory reset but it still wouldn’t work. In the end I had to bite the bullet and purchase some new ones. Ordering from Argos was quick and easy and picking it up from Sainsbury’s while doing some grocery shopping was a great experience.Nice friendly staff at the store equals one happy shopper !

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.

If you have more than 2 people who will want to play the switch then its well worth getting them. Yes they are expensive but they will be for what they do. The fun my kids have had and even myself joining in (which the kids love too. Having parents join in) doing games where you’re more active, you are immersed almost, is great. And seems somehow better than them loosing themselves to minecraft etc. Only new to the switch and absolutely loving it so far. The more controllers the better.

Love the colour of these joycons much like the original blue and red, very vibrant they standout and feel obviously like the originals. I will say this the joycons do start to hurt your hands after long use so I would recommend picking up a pro controller if you have the extra cash it would be a good investment. Course if your using your switch in handheld or giving these to someone with small hands or of a younger age you'll be fine. A good purchase either way you won't be disappointed.
