After hearing about the fuss around this grip things, I tried putting them on my joy cons and... I hada hard time taking them off. It took some force to slide it off, but I think I'll just no use the things. Seems like it's more trouble than it's worth.

Are you sliding the slide lock in and out accordingly?

I dunno. I feel dumb for saying this, but I'm not even sure if I'm putting it on correctly. I tried matching it with their proper symbols and again with the opposite ones. It was hard to take them off both ways.
