Not bad
Loved the controllers, worked great at first and then had the right controller issue not wanting to charge. I finally popped open the controller and unplugged the battery from the board and re seated it and it seems to have fixed the problem. At least for now

Good alternative to the standard Nintendo JoyCons
The Vivefox Joy Pad is a very good product overall. If you're looking for a replacement for your Nintendo JoyCons, and looking for that classic NES look, these are a great choice.The buttons are big and easily accessible and the analog sticks are slightly taller compared to the normal JoyCons. I find it easier to make more precise analog stick movements on these than on the normal ones. The best part of Vivefox's JoyCons, in my opinion, is the battery life. I've gotten a solid 8 hours of play time from both the JoyCons from a full charge. Not to mention, you can also charge these by USB cable if your Switch already has a pair attached to it.Bear in mind, these are a little bit wider than Nintendo's JoyCons, so it might take a bit of getting used to. Also, the ZL and ZR buttons aren't contoured to accommodate for finger shape, so those buttons are a bit awkward to use at first as well.These controllers are not immune to analog stick drift though. From the pair I received, the right JoyCon's analog stick has a slight drift to the top-left right out of the box. I didn't notice at first, but while playing some Skyward Sword HD, I found the camera in-game drifter slightly upward when I place the controllers down when I had to walk away for a bit. If you're tech savvy, this isn't too hard to fix through software by tweaking the dead-zones. I was probably unlucky. I'm fairly certain a few controllers like this slip through the cracks of quality testing and assurance.

Not bad but one died already
Nice size, features are alright too. Worked fine up through this past Sunday. However, I have had these less than 2 months now and the R controller doesn't work anymore. I am not sure if the battery is just so dead and the system being low battery, there just wasn't enough power for the controller to even turn on. But I've got it plugged into the wall now via Micro USB and I'm getting nothing so far. And I'm outside of the return/replacement window so I'm SOL. .Just buy at your own risk, I guess.

Looks cool and functions for basic games.
My boys actually just broke one of these and it was super easy to glue pieces back on and fix it. Interior works looks similar to the official joycons. The only downside is that it is unable to be played with the sports games and goes not support updates. Otherwise these are a great addition to our collection!

Looks cool has less functions and feels cheap
It looks cool but the super cheap, light brittle plastic and the lack of some functions plus the concave thumbsticks just feel off on both modes. Spend and extra $30 for the official joycons or buy the hori ones with the cable attachement.

Meh
They are on ok. Continues problems connecting the bumpers feel way to close

Good for certain games.
The Good:1.) They look freaking awesome.2.)They were recognized right away and connected without issue.3.) Battery life is decent, but not great. About half of the OEM controllers. They can be charged on the switch itself though.4.) The fit and finish is pretty good. They're a little in the light side, so they can feel a bit cheap. But they're also half the price of the OEM controllers.The Bad1.) The vibration motors are not great quality. They DO vibrate, but it's loud and borderline obnoxious.They are either on 0% or 100%. This is normally not an issue unless you're playing a game that includes haptic vibration as a game element (like Mario party). Other than that, you can just turn the vibration off and it's fine.2.) The combo controller that comes with it is at an angle. Although this looks pretty cool and is comfortable to hold in your hand, it causes some issues with games. This is because the controllers' joystick axis is angled in while they're in the holder. Any FPV games (shooters) or games that require fine control of the joystick will be annoying if you try to play in this mode.Overall, they're not bad in a pinch. I bought them because I didn't want to cough up $80 for joy cons. I'm picky though, so I will probably just pay the extra for the higher quality next time.Hope this helps!

Still a flimsy joycon
Excellent aesthetic, but idk if it's from how joycons are designed but it didn't take long until one of the trigger buttons gave out.
