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

submitted by grams - 5 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 - 5 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: Hi, Rod! Regarding your question about the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con L/R - Neon Pink/Neon Green: Due to needing more information, give us a call so we can help you with this situation!

  • 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 - 2 years 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.

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

    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.

    Replacement controllers

    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.

    Buy the warranty

    The controllers lasted for 7 months before they started having a lot of drift. The warranty is well worth the price. They sent me a giftcard for the entire amount. Nintendo needs to make improvements on this design.

    Easy to break, waste of money.

    I bought this for my son 3 times because they keep breaking. First time we got another pair, it broke 4 months in. The material is really cheap and easy to break. Waste of money.

    Died after one week. Already tossed packaging. They were shipped in an in padded envelope, so I should have known better. Kicking myself like crazy. Almost $95 trash.

    I am worried

    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.

    Terrible Quality

    Bought these Joy Cons and after 4 uses they both had drift. I take care of my products and it's surprising how Nintendo continues to release and sell defective products. I won't be sending it to Nintendo to get it fixed
