Review on Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers Duo gamepad, red/blue by Wei Shin Yin ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend.

If we consider this model as a single monolith, coupled with a complete holder, or in a portable version, the device is more than worthy. If, however, we are talking about each individual controller, then for me personally this is nothing more than a toy. First of all, Joy-Con is suitable for those who play exclusively exclusive projects from Nintendo. For example, with games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, or 1-2-Switch, you definitely won't have any problems. However, for more serious things, I recommend using the Pro Controller. Due to some features of the cross, or rather its complete absence, in the usual form, for me personally, it is not possible to play Joy-Con in MK 11 or, say, Street Fighter. In terms of ergonomics, too, not everything is so simple. Many complain that in some models, after some time, the buttons are erased, a backlash forms, chips and scratches appear on the case, and so on. Personally, I have not encountered this, but I recommend avoiding dark colors. Otherwise, there are no special complaints about these controllers. Unless, the price tag is very high. Compared to competitors from Sony and Microsoft, of course. But that's another story.

Pros
  • Design. Ergonomics. Battery life.
Cons
  • Price. Backlash. Absence of a normal cross.
