Q: Will the controls work over a protective case or would the case have to be removed?

submitted by grams - 4 years ago
  • A: It depends on the case. If the case goes around the Switch and Joy-Con’s in one whole piece, then it would have to be removed. If the case does not cover the Joy-Con’s, or has separate joy con covers, it wouldn’t have to be removed.

    submitted byMateo - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi, grams! Regarding your question about the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con L/R: While the answer to this question does depend on the case being used, most cases you will be able to use the controller while the case is on. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact MyTGTtech at 877-698-4883 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Do the Joy-Cons automatically connect with the Just Dance CD, without the Nintendo Playstation, and do the Joy-Cons give you the exact same privileges as the Nintendo Playstation for Just Dance?

submitted by Rod - 6 years ago

  • A: If you have a Nintendo Switch, and follow the instructions to connect the new joy cons to it, you will have the privileges needed to play Just Dance easily. There are multiple versions of Just Dance to play on other consoles, like Playstation. Don't buy these if you don't have a Switch console. Just for clarification, and in no way to be rude: There is no such thing as a "Nintendo Playstation". Joy cons only work with a "Nintendo Switch" console. Playstation is made by Sony, the full name of that console is "Sony Playstation." Since the Nintendo Switch also doesn't use games in CD form, I have a feeling you really don't waste your money on these.

Q: Are these compatible with Nintendo switch oled

submitted by User - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi User, thanks for reaching out about Nintendo Switch Joy-Con L/R. Yes, Joy-Cons will work on all versions of Nintendo Switch. The Switch Lite does not have a way to attach them to the console so they work wirelessly. The OLED model does have everything you need even the ability to attach these to the console for charging or gaming on the go. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: how many people can play at the same time with only 1 Nintendo Switch Joy-Con L/R Neon Red/Neon Blue? Would they each need to have 1 of these to both play? I should buy 1 or 2?

submitted by MaiSuh - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi MaiSuh, thanks for reaching out about Nintendo Switch Joy-Con L/R. Some games such as Super Mario Party and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe can use just the left or right controller for 1 player. However some games require both Joy-Cons because the need more buttons. If you look at the back of the game and if has an icon for Tabletop Mode, these games let you use the console as a standalone screen when you don't have a television to hand. You can even share one of your Joy-Con controllers with a friend to play together. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

submitted by C - 1 year ago

As they are both types of controllers they could not interact with each other.

    Right ZR button/trigger doesn't work. I live 75 miles from nearest Target. Target will only exchange or allow return IN PERSON.

    Frustrated Mom - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
    I purchased these Joy Cons for my daughter for Christmas. From the very first time she used them, the right ZR button/trigger doesn't connect regularly. It responds to being pushed about 1/2 the time. So obviously there is a connection error going on inside the right Joy Con. Well...Target expects me to drive 150 miles round trip to exchange these Joy Cons (and at this point, with their customer service, I'm unsure they'll even accept them for exchange since I was told I had to initiate a return by Dec. 30 when my receipt CLEARLY says January 24, 2025). I remember Target's customer service being notoriously awful 15 years ago. I am now reminded that it hasn't changed and is perhaps even worse. I wish I purchased these from another seller or store.

    My son’s controllers stopped working so we needed replacements. So far so good. Wondering how long they will last. It’s strange that they flipped the colors around from the original though.

    WV - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
    I am worried because our box shows a orange and purple controller and inside are a brown blue and yellow controller. It came from targets a verified purchase. I probably will return just to make sure there is no possible reason these could have been tampered with some how before shipping. I paid full price for a Nintendo product not a refurbished or pre-owned product.

    Joy con drift

    3 out of 5 stars
    jl1994 - 2 years ago
    I'll start off by saying the Switch is my favorite gaming console because Nintendo puts out genres of games that I enjoy the most. The flaw with the Switch is that it seems inevitable that almost all their Joy cons end up with the drifting issue. It makes some games almost impossible to play because you're not able to have control of the joy sticks at times. For controllers that are this expensive, you would think they would be more durable and long lasting.

    The Nintendo switch itself only comes with two controllers so I bought two more so me and my two daughters could all play at the same time. I went with the cheaper version and bought these controllers and they will not work whatsoever you’re better off spending the extra money and getting the same exact controllers that come with the switch to begin with!!
