Revainrating 4 out of 5

Really good but with a few issues

I bought these a few months ago after accidentally sinking one of the joycons that came with my system and I think now is the perfect time to get them check over. First colors. super pretty and easy on the eyes! Not too bright, but still very cute and cozy. Also, the size of the joycons is definitely different from your standard joycons. I don't mean they're too big for a console, I mean they have more girth than regular flat joycons that make you feel like you're holding an Xbox or Playstation console controller. It makes playing for long periods of time, like me, much more enjoyable. Now I want to point out that there are some small issues with them that don't really matter, but I think they matter anyway. When I first received them and charged them via the docking station to play them on my TV, I found that they didn't charge long enough to play them. Then when I plugged them into my system, they seemed to drain some of my system's power. This problem only lasted for about the first week as I can now play without leaving my system constantly connected to the network for several hours. Another thing I want to point out is how it comes with a card that you need a card reader in the joycon to read. However, to give you a mystery prize in Animal Crossing New Horizons, these controllers do NOT have the sensor required for it, and for people in my situation who have had to replace their joycons due to non-functionality, this makes receiving a bit of a surprise impossible. It may not have been an innovative gift, but I'd still like to see what it is. On top of that I haven't had any drift issues or problems with any key yet! I also like that the buttons are more clicky than the original joycons. It makes me so happy like hearing very loud keys on a PC keyboard which is a lot. I know buying stuff for your console from a third party can be intimidating, but it was definitely a good buy for the asking price. As far as I can tell, you'd be better off getting non-Nintendo replacement joysticks, as branded joysticks almost always either already drift or develop quickly, which is extremely annoying when playing games like Legend of Zelda or Minecraft can be. Overall, I really like these joycons and I'm glad I chose them!

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Replacement availability
