Review on Switch Joy Pad Controller Alternatives - R/L Joy Pad Remote Controllers with Wake-up Function and 6-Axis Gyro (Blue and Red) by Ronald Duguay

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Half the price of Nintendo joycons and almost as good.

Last update on 8/5/21: back to increase my rating to 5 stars. After I updated this review below due to some battery/charging issues I had with the original pair, the team contacted me to suggest a replacement. 5 stars for willingness to endorse the product. just a month and a half of non-intensive use, the battery on them will not stand. A few days ago they wouldn't even turn on or pay, which was odd because the last time I checked they were 100% charged. Well luckily they got it working again but my left joystick kept throwing a low battery warning and both controllers lost about half the battery in just an hour or two. Unfortunately I am deducting 2 stars here. First review: I have tried other 3rd party joycons and have 3 pairs from Nintendo, without a doubt this is the best 3rd party joycon you can get. You can even wake your Switch from sleep by pressing and holding the home button, something very few controllers other than Nintendo offer. I give 5 stars because the value is amazing. They feel a little snugger when you flip the switch on or off, but other than that they're top-notch. Would definitely order again. Please note that they do not fit in the controller's grip as the shape is slightly rounded on the back to make them more comfortable to hold than regular joycons. Doesn't bother me, but is worth mentioning.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
