I love these new controllers. Again, there is a little learning curve. I tried them in the 'standard controller' that they can slide into, but i actually prefer them separate. They are small, so that is where the learning curve comes into play. The other part you have to lear is the + and - controller. It makes a difference on how you slide the wrist connectors on, how you slide them onto the switch itself, how you slide them into the charger, and how you slide them onto the 'standard controller'. It is also a different feeling to have a controller in each hand that is not connected to the other (every other game system i've played including wii). But once you get the hang of it, it is extremely fun to use these controllers. Way to go Nintendo!
The Joy-Con Charging Dock is the easiest solution for charging your Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Controllers. Charge 4 Joy-Con Controllers at a time for multiple players, or keep an extra pair charged for single players to switch out. Simply slide the Joy-Con Controllers down and wait until each charge LED turns green!

These chargers are good. They plug directly into switch with a usb. The track system (how switch controllers connect to everything) is somewhat of a learning curve. You really have to watch the + and - side. The only other thing that kept them from 5 stars is that it is hard to just store them in the charger without being charged. Gravity takes over and they end up slipping down into charge mode. Other than that they are nice chargers. PS we did have an issue with one of the chargers front docking pairs not working, but Power A was fantastic at sending us a replacement ASAP. Thankfully we had 2 charging docks anyway.
Choose this Nintendo Switch console to play favorite games anywhere with one system. It replaces both home and portable components for a seamless experience, docking with your television or standing alone on a tabletop for outdoor action on its 6.2-inch screen. This Nintendo Switch console includes the Joy-Con detachable controller and can link with other units for multiplayer adventures.
We love our new switch. We especially love it's ready to go right out of the box. No frustrating 'load' times or 'download the game you just bought' time. The graphics are definitely a step up from the Wii. This is a fun system. Glad to see Nintendo recover.
