Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhanced Switch Controllers: (L/R) Replacement Joycon Controllers with Grip, Dual Shock, Wake-Up & Plug and Play - Blue and Red, Compatible with Nintendo Switch/Switch lite by Javarie Malick

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pretty good secondary Joy-Con!

Well, I have to admit: I was skeptical. I was fascinated by the design, the ergonomic shape and all that. But knowing how good the Nintendo Joy-Cons are (drift notwithstanding), I wasn't sure what to expect. But lo and behold, they survive! I had a really good time playing Super Mega Baseball 3 with them. The left stick is a bit tight; are much more sensitive to the compass direction, so it takes some time to master the angular direction. But after just a few minutes of play I was glad that the stick was starting to loosen a bit! The buttons have a smaller click than the Nintendo Joy-Cons, which I really liked. Also, having a real d-pad on the left is great and feels pretty quick. And the strap attachments were a pleasant surprise! I might make them my standard straps in my Switch travel bag. To ensure that when charging on a docked Switch, the LEDs are visible through the relatively thin plastic case. (Shown in the attached photo.) I actually found a cool effect in the dark. Just wanted to warn you honestly. And as described, they lack some features like NFC for Amiibo and IR on the right controller. The rumble was decent; not as sensitive or accurate as the rumble on the Nintendo Joy-Cons, but better than expected (which is more of a bonus for me). However, I found this to be a great way to add an extra set of controllers to a collection at a fair price.

Pros
  • Compatibility with Nintendo Switch - Ideal replacement for joystick with alarm function. Just press the home button for 3 seconds, then you can connect the switch console. This controller is fully compatible with Nintendo Switch/Switch Lite, including all buttons of the original Switch. This easy-to-use controller connects quickly and is ergonomic.
Cons
  • No power
