Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Charges via usb-c, so you can charge it either plugged into the usb slot of the switch dock or connected directly to the ac adapter. Holds 2x joycon controllers, turning the joycons into something resembling a traditional controller.

After removing the handles this works great for me. That smoky translucent color is totally my * and makes me so happy! Works perfectly as intended.

The most essential purchase for the console. I love that it's a wireless controller because wired should only ever be used for computer gaming. Just should have been a pack-in for theconsole.



Cons

Tried connecting both usb 2. It doesn't charge the right joycon. Should have been included with the console. Save your money towards a pro controller.

Quality


Th grip to the control is great and the charging capability is a plus


The joycon grip is sturdy and lets me charge my joy cons when i play games on my switch.


The grip nintendo gives you with the switch has no capability in charging, which it honestly should since joy cons just notorio...  Read More


The cord included for these is like 6 feet long which really isn't even long enough to use these if you sit on a couch or further than 6ft.

Price


It's really no extra cost to them to have included this charging one and while this might generate more profit for them, it fur...  Read More


This isn't a huge issue, aside from the fact i paid 5 dollars more for the exact same product, but with japanese labeling.


Purchased when the price was marked down to less than $25.


Price is more than what i would have liked to have paid.

Shipping


Not the products fault but it got delivered to the wrong address and i had to go retrieve it from my neighbors house and i coul...  Read More


The product arrived on time, in good condition and works properly.

Packaging/appearance


The box specifically says you can charge it either plugged into the usb slot of the switch dock or connected directly to the ac adapter.


The packaging and instructions weren’t in english although it says u.


No issues, came well packaged, joy-cons not included.

Competitiveness


It is a shame nintendo never thought in sell this control in the same bundle with nintendo switch.

    I bought this because i have two sets of joycons one on my switch and one extra pair but it’s annoying to charge the second pair


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Unless i bought a charging station i would have to swap out the joycons onto the switch if i wanted to charge them


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My only complaint is that nintendo should have given these for free with the switch you get the same controller when you buy a switch except it doesn’t have the charging port on the top so you have to pay 25 for this controller if you want that feature


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its a bit of a crime that nintendo decided to include in the console package a grip that does not charge


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its really no extra cost to them to have included this charging one and while this might generate more profit for them it further proliferates ewaste


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For this much it should have a builtin battery for extra time


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So if you have two sets of joycons and you need to keep them charged youre stuck buying this


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    On the plus side it works doesnt creek as comfortable as the noncharging grip etc
