For details as to how this item received the given rating, see below:

The Joy-Con controllers are not the most comfortable to hold (at least for adults). In using them, after a few minutes the size was awkward and started to cause the hand to tire quickly. In looking at controllers, this product came up as an accessory to have more of a controller feel and improve comfort while using the Joy Con controllers. This was an awesome buy! Holding the Joy Con's is far better and the size is just about right.

Highly recommend to purchase these for all Joy Con controllers. The rubber piece for the joy stick is kind of unnecessary, it's just plastic on top of plastic. Didn't see any benefit in having this, it's not like it's going to prevent damage to the joy stick. It is nice that it's included though, but don't see a need for it.

Pros:

• Simple and easy to use.
• Minimal packaging.
• Bonus joy stick grips.
• Easy means to release the joy con.
• Makes usage of Joy Con controllers much easier.

Cons:

• Plastic bags around the controller grips and a bag for the joy stick grips.

*Note, there are two ratings applied to the reviewed item. "Product rating" and "Packaging rating". The actual product will not be impacted by the packaging as these are two separate ratings.

In regards to packaging, the following are contributing factors against the "Packaging rating":

• In an effort to globally reduce and promote less usage of plastic, any usage of plastic or non-environmentally safe packaging/products/material will be marked negatively.
  
• Single use items that do not biodegrade or cannot be easily recycled (see point above on plastics).
• The packaging rating is being introduced to help drive a shift to more sustainable and environmentally friendly resources.
