Bright, bold, neon yellow!
June 22, 2017
Love the yellow! If you're into bright, fun neon colors, this is definitely the controller for you! Don't take my word for it - check out the pictures I posted. Looks and feels just like my neon red/blue controllers that came with the system.
Honestly, no clue what the other reviewers are talking about with respect to shorter travel distance of the L/R buttons - I really don't see it, and I'm comparing directly against my neon red/blue controllers. I think maybe they've just broken in the red/blue controllers a bit more. I literally tried my red/blue and yellow side-by-side and they feel exactly the same for all the buttons with respect to travel distance, click-feel, etc.
Also, the yellow color on the box really doesn't do the controllers justice. They're far more bright/neon than how they look on the box.

My controllers were part of the defective batch
August 24, 2017
Be careful when buying these controllers. If they are from an older manufacturing date that is closer to when the system launched, the left controller will most likely be defective and have a very low range. It almost seemed a little sneaky when I bought these controllers discounted off of Amazon and they ended up being in the defective batch. Not sure if that was the reason why they were discounted in the first place, but it would have been nice to know that I was at risk of buying a controller that barely worked from 8 feet away.
Luckily, if you do end up with a defective left joycon, you can send it into Nintendo for repair. They will try to argue that you are using it wrong when you troubleshoot it over the phone, but there is a piece of conductive foam that they will add that increases the range of the controller significantly, without needing to be in a clear "line of sight" of the Switch console.

Had it less than 3 months it broke. Now, it keeps making characters wander to the left. Very disappointing considering how ridiculously expensive they are!

This product worked well for the first month or so but then all of a sudden it would spaz out and constantly cause the right analog stick to go right even when left alone I've tried with other peoples switches and it does the same the manufacturer of these needs to review and test their product before selling it to the public

Second set I’ve gotten and the left joycon starts to drift as soon as the return window closes. It makes games like Zelda incredibly frustrating when your character moves on its own. This is a known issue Nintendo continues to deny and these things are too expensive to last such a short time.

I have a total of 4 joycons, the ones that came with my switch and these ones that I bought. From a company that has been making products since the dawn of gaming, these joycons are a sad excuse for controllers. Bar the fact that R&D obviously didn't do their homework on how controllers should be. QA obviously didn't pay attention to the parts they're using or didn't even bother. The analog sticks are ATROCIOUS. Even with care, they have managed to be "infected" with the stick drift problem and no amount of cleaning will fix these after awhile. These problems also conveniently arise after the warranty stops covering them.
For anyone else who wants to buy more controllers for their switch, do yourself a favor, buy either a controller adapter and use a reliable controller or a cheaper 3rd-party controller that offer better reliability

Joystick got stuck towards the left playing Mario Kart and makes the controller unusable now. Felt cheaper and stiffer than the joy-cons the Switch came with.

I received on time this product and in a very good packaging. Unfortunately the red (left) joy con travels upward (as if pushing the joystick up). If you move the joystick the travel issue goes away for a few seconds and the it happens again.
I ve tried every calibration method in the switch and also “turning the settings back to stock” but without success.
The hardware is flawless, but that travel issue is extremely annoying.
Im still waiting on a response on the sellers tu see what can be done.
FYI. The blue (right) joy con work perfectly and the joy cons that came with the Nintendo switch DO NOT have this issue so i ruled out a problem with the console itself. I also used various game and the same problem happened in all of them.
I hooe this can be fixed

So I ordered this a while back but didnt realize till I checked the calibration of the buttons and control sticks and the ones a recieved are in fact damaged. The left joy con control stick does not center properly and doesnt input up commands properly, and the right joy con the R button doesnt function either as pressing it will not always result in the button input working. Wish I found this out before the return date.

These controllers keep disconnecting from the switch wether they are connected or wireless at a distance of 5 feet. Either I received fakes or they were manufactured wrong. The controllers I got with the switch work great. I’m not sure what’s going on. It’s so frustrating trying to play with friends and this keeps happening! I have tried removing them from the switch and re pairing them and still, I am having the issue.

Purchased this last month and immediately while playing Super Mario Odyssey both sticks began drifting. The left Joy-Con analog stick drifted up intermittently and the right Joy-Con stick drifted left less often which manifested as the camera panning left every so often.
Calibration, updating controller firmware, and finally resetting to calibration to defaults all did not mitigate the issue in the slightest.
Nintendo support expected me to pay to ship the faulty Joy-Cons to them which I was not willing to do because they were entirely at fault. Instead, I fixed it myself using electrical contact cleaner which I already had a can of.
I was eagerly looking forward to the Switch Lite but now I will be waiting until I see if the same faulty analog stick design is used given that those Joy-Cons cannot be detached and replaced.
I've never paid this much money for any gamepad before and so that compounds this issue. That such an expensive controller is so cheaply made.

Terrible! The green (right) controller doesn't stay connected to the console
