Review on Joy Pad Controllers Nintendo Switch Replacement by Charles Butler

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good. while it worked. Like, like, something like.

Trying to find cheaper Joy-Con options for my 5 year old, I am Stumbled upon these - larger size for better grip, good battery life, and many other options that set it apart from the rest. If only the product was as good as the marketing copy! The problems started almost as soon as they arrived, as the home button just stopped working.no warnings, no short circuits, it just didn't do anything.a few days later it worked again, but only if you held the button down when it was properly pressed. An annoyance, but not a deal killer. About a week later, the left Joy-Con stopped working. Assuming it just needs to be charged (although the right one was charging while the Switch was docked), I plugged it into a USB charger only to see the lights go out at all. The one on the right immediately lit up, indicating it was being charged; left, no. In fact, the left Joy-Con broke down completely within 2 weeks of purchase and was playable for a maximum of 14 hours. In short, they were good when they worked, but gradually died when used. it looks like like they were designed specifically for show and not use - and I think that if they worked long they probably would be good. Overall I would not recommend these. Go with something that will last longer than two weeks.
