It's alright.
I have small hands and play my Switch a LOT (a few hours a day)Generally speaking the outer shell feels solid but the buttons and joysticks feel a bit cheap. The joysticks are much stiffer than the original and the buttons are much mushier and take a bit more pressure. My fingers would get tired after a while of gaming - especially my thumbs because the joysticks are that stiff. I could see this being a problem with games like Hades or Smash Bros.At first it would still drift, but for some reason it went away. The only thing I really liked about this is that the added bumps at the back which made a big difference in keeping my hands from cramping.Overall, I'd say this is an OK replacement to the Joycons but the price could be lower for the quality. It worked and I personally liked the mushy buttons but the joysticks were way too stiff. I ended up returning these and just buying authentic Joycons.

Decent equipment but no fanfare
For the price point these are an okay substitute for the real joycon's that are sold out everywhere but they have some problems that should be noted.Pro's: Decent price point and definitely solves the inconvenience of their high priced out of stock counterparts. They kind of matched my original Animal Crossing themed joycon's which was nice.Cons: In a nutshell you get what you pay for, I know it's cliche but in this case it's as honest as I can be. They are awkwardly shaped which is a serious drawback because they tried to engineer them to be a cross of a pro controller and a joycon, which leads me to my next point. If you are planning to use these to play a game like Ringfit then you are out of luck. These will not fit into the appliance for the Ring. Last but not least, these did *not* come with a wrist strap... Now I don't remember if that was advertised but it seems like a serious disservice to someone buying these to not include the wrist straps.Overall: If you have no other options go ahead and buy these as a placeholder until you can find or afford their name brand counterpart. But don't expect all the smoothness and refinement of the traditional joycon experience.

I really wanted to like these. I really did...... Sigh.
I am a pretty avid gamer with every console you can think of. So believe me when I say that these controllers are not worth the money. If you don't mind refurbished controllers, go to eBay and get some for the same price. Pros and cons time!Pros -Ergonomic design. I have decent sized hands (not large/not small) and they feel great in my hand. I can hold the Switch all day with these babies - Favorite Snes color! I was so excited when I saw these but I grew up with Snes. I got them nostalgia feels yo.(That's it for the pros)Now the cons..... So many cons -Buttons are pretty squishy. There is no tactile/clicky feel to them. Just.....ugh. If the would have fixed this I might have kept them.... But this just the first of many, many awful things. -Adding to the button issue. The Dpad on the left Joycon is so squishy that your thumb/button depresses past the housing of the controller shell. I feel this will end badly with wear in no time. -Feels cheap. Plastic shell isn't bad but the buttons suck and sticks are pretty stiff (personal preference on the sticks) Very light. You could have put a weight in there to fool me. But nope, decided to be cheap about it I guess. - Doesn't charge with Switch docked?! Holy S***! Really dropped the ball on that one. They come with there own cables to some how "fix" the issue. Garbage.So.......yeah.....go to eBay.

lightweight fat controller
definitely broke the first one, got a replacement instantly. how did i break it? i placed my switch down with those controllers connected on the table and it did said it wasn’t connected to the switch anymore. the connection had broke so i got a new one. now i never place them on a table because it’s a light plastic piece against a weighted center piece. you see where i’m going with it.handled great, buttons were silent press (not clicky), vibrations were soft and delayed, no visible IR sensor and used it for just dance and it kinda picked up my sweet dance moves (napoleon dynamite reference). good controller but i felt like i needed to be careful with it.buy at your own risk.

Best joycons ever
They look so much better than the standard joycons and feel better too. The retro colors give you a sense of nostalgia for any SNES lovers. Only drawbacks are that the joysticks are only a tiny fraction smaller than the standard issue so most joystick covers won't stay on and they have a bit of an unusual shape that prevents them from fitting inside the joycon charging grip. Other than that, they're flawless.

Better than the original joy con Nintendo controllers
They are better than the original controller joy cons that come with the switch. These feel more comfortable and they are very techy looking making my switch look like it belongs to a pro gamer instead of a basic look. The battery life is definitely high they last all day and next day use is also long. I like the color too. The best part about these is that they have a dedicated turbo button. I love using them on super smash bros lol. You cannot beat the price too they should be like 60 to 80 bucks but they were very reasonably priced. Awesome buy for me.

Bad battery life
So far I’ve had them for one day. I charged them before I used them. And the battery life isn’t that great. One of the joycons lasted 3 1/2 hours and the other lasted 4 1/2 hours. Way less than the 10 hours that it stated. Overall the joy cons feels good in my hands. I will test them out again and see what’s the life I get out of them. If I can’t get even 5 hours I’ll be returning them.UPDATE: 1 day later and the control would stop responding in the middle of the game. Going to return. I rather keep buy original joycons

Good substitute for joycon if on a tight budget
In my opinion it's worth the money just don't compare to the original joycons they do there job well and I will definitely recommend to someone on a tight budget.They feel nice, sync ok, make sure you charge them before adding to you're switch
