## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this replace the original joy-con controller casing? As in you unscrew the original and put this one on?**
A: No. It's a complete left joy-con made by HORI, however like Edward S. says it's missing a few features so they can sell it for $25 instead of $40. There is no HD rumble, no SR/SL buttons (the little shoulder buttons in split screen table top mode), no infrared, no battery, and it only works when attached to the screen in handheld mode.

**Q: So this has no wireless capibilities and no right joycon i would get t his if it was left and right joycons it is just odd to have just one side.**
A: That's exactly why I'm selling it, actually. When I bought it from Gamestop, I thought I was getting both controllers. Instead it's just one side. Apparently, there isn't an R controller that matches this one, which I find odd.

**Q: Where is the right one?**
A: This is only left because you buyit for the D Pad for SNES s Kind of games.

**Q: what color does it appear as in the controllers menu?**
A: Apparently it shows up as a standard gray controller, it's also important to note that apparently it drains the Switch battery very quickly if using firmware earlier than 6.0.0, (the current firmware at time of typing this is 13.0.0).

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks great, feels great!
*by J***. on May 14, 2023*

I bought this for my new special edition OLED and it looks fantastic and works well so far! I guess the only thing I don't like too much is how the small square button and the small minus button feel "squishy" instead of "clicky" like a regular joycon. But those buttons are rarely used, and the dpad and other buttons feel fantastic.Buyers should be aware of the lack of battery and rumble. This controller is intended to be used only while attached to the Switch (portable use only). It states this clearly in the description, so I won't complain about that.Lastly, I use this with the Satisfye Zen Grip Pro and it fits perfectly. Some of the reviewers here claim it does not fit. It absolutely does. Although I haven't measured precisely, it seems to be pretty much the same shape and size as the official joycon.It's less expensive than an official joycon for a reason. You are losing some of the features of the official product, but you gain a dpad and a great design in the process.The bottom line is if you read the product description carefully and know what you're buying, you truly won't be disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does What It Says On The Tin
*by N***L on May 30, 2020*

This JoyCon only works in handheld mode on the Switch. It would be great if it could work outside of that mode, but it does not.So knowing that limitation which Hori is not trying to hide, this is a good product. Having a proper dpad is a huge improvement over the split buttons on the standard JoyCon. And it's a pretty good dpad. Button feel is pretty subjective and this dpad is a little mushy which I think feels pretty good but if you prefer something more clicky you might be disappointed. It reminds me of the DS Lite dpad. At the very least it works correctly, I have not noticed any incidents where it registers the wrong direction which is an issue that seems to plague most modern dpads these days. The rest of the JoyCon is indistinguishable from the standard JoyCons. Same build, same analog stick, same trigger buttons. I do wish they just sold these in standard JoyCon colors instead of the themed designs, but the Zelda one isn't too gaudy.If you play 2D Switch games portably, this is a great buy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Serves its Purpose, but Far From Perfect.
*by K***H on February 19, 2023*

So close to what I was looking for - a normal joycon with a d-pad. No size differences or anything.I mostly bought this because GB/GBA games are on Switch now and I'd prefer to play those in portable with a proper d-pad, but I also wanted something that would still fit properly in a Switch case, and at least looked official.The d-pad itself is very good. The analog stick and L and ZL buttons feel similar to a real Joycon as well.Sadly the minus button and screenshot button are squishy and feel unsatisfying to push. Its also feels very lightweight and sometimes feels like its not completely locked on the Switch. Wiggles a little.I have no issue with it only working in handheld mode. Give. The price, thats what I expected.Kinda wish Nintendo would just make their own d-pad joycon though. But if you're looking for something with a D-pad that isn't huge, and lookswise, blends in with your right Joycon, its very good and does the job well.
