## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this replace the original joy-con controller casing? As in you unscrew the original and put this one on?**
A: No. It's a complete left joy-con made by HORI, however like Edward S. says it's missing a few features so they can sell it for $25 instead of $40. There is no HD rumble, no SR/SL buttons (the little shoulder buttons in split screen table top mode), no infrared, no battery, and it only works when attached to the screen in handheld mode.

**Q: So this has no wireless capibilities and no right joycon i would get t his if it was left and right joycons it is just odd to have just one side.**
A: That's exactly why I'm selling it, actually. When I bought it from Gamestop, I thought I was getting both controllers. Instead it's just one side. Apparently, there isn't an R controller that matches this one, which I find odd.

**Q: Where is the right one?**
A: This is only left because you buyit for the D Pad for SNES s Kind of games.

**Q: what color does it appear as in the controllers menu?**
A: Apparently it shows up as a standard gray controller, it's also important to note that apparently it drains the Switch battery very quickly if using firmware earlier than 6.0.0, (the current firmware at time of typing this is 13.0.0).
