The console's controllers come in the form of two detachable controller halves, collectively called "Joy-Cons"; specifically the Joy-Con L and Joy-Con R. Both Joy-Cons each contain four face buttons, a clickable analogue joystick, one bumper and trigger, and two additional buttons inside the railing that act as shoulder buttons while being held horizontally. The Joy-Con R features an IR sensor and NFC reader, while the Joy-Con L has a dedicated button for taking screenshots, and will be able to record video at a later date. They can be attached to the sides of the Switch unit, used in conjunction as a traditional controller using a grip, used separately in each hand like a [[Wii|Wii Remote and Nunchuk]], or may each be used as a standalone controller, allowing for two individuals to play multiplayer games with a single pair of Joy-Cons. They also include Nintendo's patented haptic feedback technology, titled "HD Rumble", to help convey realistic sensations to the users. Each Joy-Con has a battery life of 20 hours. | The console's controllers come in the form of two detachable controller halves, collectively called "Joy-Cons"; specifically the Joy-Con L and Joy-Con R.
