The great classic. As you know, the Nintendo Switch comes in two colors: a black model with gray Joy-Con, and a Neon model, with flashy red and blue Joy-Con. It doesn’t matter which Nintendo Switch model you have, this color combination is the most common, also the most well-known.

Lost your right Joy-Con or just want to buy an extra Joy-Con? Do not panic: Nintendo offers you to buy only one individually. In this case, the right Neon Red Joy-Con is available at a public price set at € 39.99. Keep in mind, however, that a pair of Joy-Con costs €64.99, which amounts to €32.49 per Joy-Con. Here you will therefore save 25 € on the total price, but you will still pay the Joy-Con 7.5 € more in cost price.

This pair of Joy-Con is particularly unique. The left Joy-Con is purple and the right Joy-Con mustard yellow. This combination will go particularly well with a gray Nintendo Switch for example, using why not a gray Joy-Con on the left and a yellow Joy-Con on the right.

Yet another combination, in yet another interesting combination. The left Joy-Con is a deep blue color, and the right Joy-Con is a little more flashy yellow, close to the Neon effect that some controllers benefit from. The result can, again, be very interesting.

Unfortunately, the gray Joy-Cons have not officially been offered for purchase individually or in pairs by Nintendo in France for some time. Only a few brands still offer them, but at high prices. You will have more luck on the second-hand market to find them at a good price.
Is the cost of a pair of Joy-Con worth it?
The price of a pair of Joy-Con is not given. At €64.99, that’s almost €5 more than the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. However, you technically get two gamepads for that price, doubling your multiplayer capability right off the bat and also giving you more color combinations for your Switch.
However, if you don’t need HD rumble, NFC for amiibos, or gyroscope, that’s another matter. In this case, you can choose to buy a controller from a third-party manufacturer, for example. You won’t get the same experience as with a pair of official Joy-Cons, though. For example, you will not have the same quality of manufacture, nor the same grip.
Should we fear the Joy-Con Drift when buying a pair of Joy-Con?
Unfortunately, yes. If Nintendo has finally tackled the problem, the Joy-Con Drift continues to affect the new Joy-Cons on sale on the market. Worse still, Nintendo has confirmed that the Joy-Con Drift issue is still not fixed with the Switch OLED. On the other hand, know that we know a method to solve the problem, if however you encounter problems with Nintendo controllers.
Is it possible to find Joy-Con on sale?
Promotional offers around the Joy-Con are quite limited and rare. Nintendo applies rather fixed prices on all of its products, even if it is not uncommon to come across promotions, such as on Amazon for example, which can sometimes offer them for a few euros less.
