    • Works as expected however, with one small caveat.
Style: Mario
Everything works exactly as expected. I haven't noticed any "drift" issues yet but I don't know if these replacements even have that issue. The only thing that gets slightly annoying is how the console reacts now when you plug or unplug the power cord while you're playing. Since there's no battery in the replacement Joy-Con, the system will freeze and tell you to attach the Joy-Con to the console and you'll just have to press the "A" button. It sometimes also freezes while the game still plays for a bit prompting you to press the "L" and "R" buttons on the Joy-Cons. I've only played two games after having gotten the replacement Joy-Con and each game did one of the two things. I got the first type of freeze (press "A" type) while playing the physical version of I am Setsuna and was getting the second type of freeze (press "L" and "R" type) while playing the physical version of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. The "problem" is more of a quality of life thing than anything else though and is far from a big deal. However the press "L" and "R" type of freeze might cause some problems while playing more action oriented games as I noticed the game still playing even though I couldn't input any commands until the press "L" and "R" prompt came up. The sound also dips during this time. The only other things I can think of is that it's not entirely shaped like the original Joy-Con nor does it use the same quality materials. Both of these "issues" are only noticeable in one place each that I've noticed anyway. The "-" button is made out of a softer material that is also longer than it needs to be and can "catch" as you try to press it. I've never really needed to press this button for anything though so it's not an issue to me but if you ever need to use it quickly for something, it might cause problems. The other thing is that the Joy-Con's release button is now raised up on a square piece of plastic molded in that spot. It's raised to such an extent that it juts into the tip of whichever finger I have located behind the "L" and "ZL" buttons. It causes a bit of discomfort as the original Joy-Con has the release button more flush with the rest of the back of the controller. It also makes accidentally pressing the release button happen quite a bit more frequently causing other issues. This replacement Joy-Con is designed for handheld mode only and doesn't really ever need to be taken off yet the release button is not only more accessible, it can also be triggered accidentally. It's just a tad bit odd to me. Now that I think more about it, the color options bother me but I'm just nitpicking now. Why only translucent red Mario, black Pokemon and black LoZ styles? Why not normal Joy-Con colors? I would've liked a neon blue one to properly replace the one I originally had or a neon red to match the other side. Or maybe the neon green and purple or whatever other colors the Joy-Cons come in? I got the Mario version because it was the closest one to looking decent with the neon red on on the other side. Again though, I'm just nitpicking at this point. Bottom line is that it works and serves the purposes it was designed for. *EDIT* I went back and read a few other reviews on this and this replacement isn't the same size as the original Joy-Con in other places that I didn't mention in my initial review. I bought myself a grip to go on my Switch a few days ago and while it fits well enough, when I switched out the replacement Joy-Con with the original to see if they were indeed different sizes, I noticed that it fit much better with the original. The grip felt slightly weird when I put it on but I didn't think much of it until I tried it with the original Joy-Con. So if you have accessories that get put onto your Switch, you might want to get a regular replacement Joy-Con instead of this one. As it is, when it's attached to the Switch, it sticks out about a millimeter or so to the left of the controller/system. So anything that wraps around the system or Joy-Con itself might have problems being applied to the Hori replacement due to the size difference and due to how the release button was raised up. I didn't think about any of this as I only have the one accessory for my Switch and it works with the Hori Pad well enough but I can see how this can cause problems with other accessories. Also it might need repeating that this replacement is for handheld mode only. There are no internal mechanisms inside other than those for the buttons and stick. This will not work with the pack in Joy-Con holder controller, it will not work standalone or in anything else that needs it to be removed from the system itself. It will only draw power from the Switch itself and from nothing else. Some people seem to have issues with this even though it's clearly stated that it's for handheld mode only. I've only ever played in handheld mode so this was perfect for me. New bottom line: It works and serves the purposes it was designed for so long as you don't have anything else to add to your Switch system that the slight changes in the size and shape of the Hori Joy-Con might conflict with. That price though... ... show more

    • Read details.

As a new owner of the switch I was looking to switch up my left joystick because the toggle was broken. I did not know there was a difference in the joysticks. This joystick is for single playing and I’m OK with that. It works for me I like the color and how it feels. In the future if I would like to share I’ll know I’ll have to buy another one. ... show more

    • Good as original
Style: Black & Gold Pikachu
Great design for an avid Pokémon fan. The unit is a little lighter in weight than an OG joycon. My only negative of that whole this was the shipping. The transaction said two day shipping and ended up taking 4 total days. It left its original destination went back to it left a second time and then sat an entire day at one stop. Very disappointed in shipping. Came via UPS and not via Amazon pretty disappointed in shipping process. ... show more

Although you can't use it detached and it doesn't have HD rumble, it's perfect for those that don't like the 4 round buttons on the left joy con.

    • Got platformers? Get this.
Style: Mario
Okay let's get this out of the way, it's for portable only, won't work at all wirelessly and no you're not gonna mod it to work that way. That will not be a factor in this review because this thing is advertised as a portable only controller Okay? Okay. The short: The stick is identical to the default Switch joycon stick, if there's a difference I can't feel it. The triggers feel good but different, the shoulder clicks louder but feels good. There's no rumble, or gyro. But that's okay since the Switch and the other joycon have their own gyro & as I said this will not work wirelessly. The dpad is massively better for platformers, period. Maybe tetris players would agree but that's not something I play so OH WELL. The long: The dpad is really nice, it's got a solid roll to it and some say it feels 'squishy' I'd say it feels smooth? Kinda like a softer WiiU pro controller. I like the dpad and I'm kinda picky, but honestly anything that gets me away from the horrible joycon 'dpad' and spares me from the Switch Pro's dpad I'm happy to have. I tried several platformers, Sonic Mania, Freedom Planet, Donkey Kong, Flashback and I can say I felt a lot more in control with it. I know some think there's more precision to be had with the switch's separate buttons for a dpad and sure maybe for Tetris but when you want to roll your thumb over the pad to get to the direction you want and not just stomp in a direction to get what you want? You want a dpad. I easily shaved off a ton of time in a few levels of Freedom Planet putting them more in line with my PC times with the v2 of the XB1 controller. Which was an instant improvement, not some overtime thing. Also given Sonic Mania has a small puzzle game that's like Puyo Puyo, I can say I tried that a few times and never had any mistakes but I'm no pro-puzzle-player. So take that as you will. My one complaint is unique. The joycon detatch button on the back? Is pushed outward, it sticks out on this raised box vs being right out the joycon. This doesn't effect gameplay at all- however I got that Amazon Basics case? And that fits the back of the Switch perfectly. Meaning? This don't fit in it. I'd have to dremel out a hole for it if I was gonna use both together. Look I can't say this any more simply than this: -Do you play platformers portable & the default joycon dpad annoys you? Get this. -Are you worried the joycon isn't good for everything else? Well I just told you it functions as it should so you're safe. -Do you have the amazon basics case? WELL then still yes but you might have to cut a hole because of that protrusion they put the joycon eject button on. ... show more

I like it but the only downside is that I can’t find a grip pad that will support it on an OLED Switch.
