If you’ve been patiently awaiting Nintendo’s pastel purple and green Switch 2 Joy‑Con controllers since their unveiling last month, you can now officially add them to your cart.
Officially called “Light Purple” and “Light Green” — though the green is more of a pastel teal — the new set is available for $99.99 as of Feb. 12. Aside from the color, the controllers are an exact match to the ones that come with the Switch 2. They feature the same magnetic connectors, wrist straps, HD rumble, C button for GameChat, and can be used as a mouse for compatible games.

Many are already criticizing the controller variant online, as the purple and green shades are only visible on the inner rails. In other words, you can’t even see the colors when the Joy‑Cons are attached to a Switch 2 console, unlike previous Joy‑Con variants that covered the whole shell. Still, if you have $100 to spare and want to give your Switch 2 some new life, the pastel controllers add a fun (yet subtle) pop of color.
