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

submitted by grams - 3 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 - 2 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.

Joy con drift

3 out of 5 stars
jl1994 - 3 months 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!!

Ashleyrose245 - 11 months ago, Verified purchaser
We've had our Switch for 2 years now and the original set of controllers lasted until now. Luckily I had a Target circle offer and purchased a new set for 30% off. Nintendo offers a free joycon repair program and costs you absolutely nothing. So they will be fixing our other set which is fantastic. Any other gaming console you have to keep buying new controllers when they fail and they offer no repair programs. For how much our controllers get used and they are shaken around a lot from active games, I'm surprised they lasted 2 years. I love that they're slim and lightweight so your hand doesn't hurt from holding them. Besides buttons slowly stopping to work after 2 years of everyday use, I'm very satisfied with them!

Not durable at all. Two of mine got drift and one of my top buttons stopped working. For the price, these should not be made so cheaply. Ended up replacing a set with some knock-offs for half the price. So far they’ve lasted longer than the ones that originally came with the switch.
