Ok controllers
Pros1.) The controllers are easy to hold and ergo feel better than Nintendo’s Joycons.2.) Long battery life. Longer life than other previous purchased generic joycons3.) Sync easily with SwitchCons1.) Lag-latency is worse than Nintendo brand and other generic joycons that I have purchased on Amazon.2.) Does not charge (wireless) when connected to Switch. They only charge using the USB-C port and cable.3.) The ergo design prevents the controllers from seating correctly in the Nintendo steering wheels used for Mario Cart.

Solid replacement on a budget, but not without drawbacks.
Review update: So the "L" button doesn't work. I finally convinced my wife to play Zelda: BotW, she got to the first shrine and got super frustrated because she couldn't figure out how to use the magnesis rune, and thought she was doing something wrong. Turns out it was just the controller.These replacement Joy-cons are slightly larger than a stock controller. I actually really like the way they feel. They are more comfortable than the stock Joy-cons IMO.However, any accessories you already have for Joy-cons will probably not fit because of this.I as of yet, have not experienced any drift from these controllers. Which is good, because that's probably why most of us are looking for replacement joy cons, am I right?There is no NFC function as stated. That's not a deal breaker for me or for most people.The biggest drawback so far I've seen is the vibration of the controllers. There seems to be little to no control over how little or hard these controllers will vibrate.For example, my wife loves to play Animal Crossing. When she is fishing, and the fish start to nibble, every little nibble is a full forced rumble, instead of it feeling like a little nibble as the stock joy cons do.Are they a perfect replacement? No. But at the price, would I buy another set? Yes.

I Like It
The battery life is very good but I particularly like the joycon holder as it also let's me use a Nintendo Joycon that I thought was broken but it seems that it just won't work when connected to the screen. I can easily swap between this brand and the actual ones very easily or mix and match.The only, I wouldn't say problem, but difficulty I had was trying to get the strings through the holder but that might be because I always struggle with that.

Amazing Quality, Best Customer Service, Read More Below!
Quality:The quality it self are amazing. Best affordable replacements or additions to the original joy cons, in which are about 80-90 dollars for a pair. Awesome color choices to match with your theme or switch. They do however feel a little more bulkier although lighter in weight.Complications:Unfortunately, there was a major issue that may affect anyone that purchased them. It is updating the controller. Yes, there is software that you would have to install via PC, in which you would have to ask their customer service to provide you with a link and instructions to download it. These joy cons are obviously not official joy cons, therefore there is an obstacle when updating them. As shown in the photos I have below, they do not update and there is a connection error. The software on the PC is installed, and when updating it, it said that it was already up-to-date. In which is obviously wrong since, the Switch would say something else.Replacement:I contacted customer service immediately, and they immediately replied and offered a replacement. Received it 1 day later. The replacement, although it was missing (1), joy-con strap. Sadly, the problem still happened, and the software was possibly outdated.Conclusion:I won't give them anything lower than 5 stars, since I believe this is just outdated software. I hope that the customer service people or developers will see this, and continuously update the controllers. Understand that, yes this arent official, therefore at any time, Nintendo themselves can patch the current bypass method, and in which can disable the use of any of the alternatives for joy cons. I write all of this on behalf of anyone with any issue such as mine.I appreciate the customer service for an instant reply and the replacement joy cons. However, I hope that they would update the software, or improve on it, for we are the consumers would not affect by any problems such as this.*By bypass, you can select "A" on your joy-con, and it will bypass the disconnect and unable to update the screen. What I mean, is that this can easily be patched by Nintendo, and completely not play any game or action without proper controller updates and software.Thank you.

Great Replacement
Sadly, my original Animal Crossing style joycons started doing the drift thing so I had to buy a replacement. My order came on time and worked perfectly when I paired them up. They are a bit bigger than the originals but they connect to my Switch just like normal. I’m happy with my purchase, thank you.
