The versatile joy-con offer multiple surprising ways for players to have fun.

Two joy-con can be used independently in each hand or together as one game controller when attached to the joy-con grip (sold separately). They can also attach to the main console for use in handheld mode or be shared with friends to enjoy two-player action in supported games. Each joy-con has a full set of buttons and can act as a standalone controller and each includes an accelerometer and gyroscope motion sensor, making independent left and right motion control possible.
