    The only good things I have to say about the joycons are that they enable you to play a few 2 player games with only the base set (tablet + 2 joycons), and that I made some money shellswapping/repairing parts for people who didn’t feel confident in messing with the very delicate ribbon cables.

    Other than that, they are uncomfortable, fragile, and prone to all sorts of failures. Thw inclusion of HD rumble was a waste of money, as well as the unused infrared sensor.

      The IR sensor is used in Ring Fit Adventure, heart rate measurement. That’s about all I can think of.

      Honestly, for the price of one set of joycons I’d rather pick up two 8bit do ultimate controllers. That way both players get good controllers.
