I mean, none of them work exactly like the original joycons to my knowledge.
Perhaps you should look at CEX, as you can purchase a single replacement in a colour of your choice. Also a 24m warranty. -
I just buy the parts and fix mine - had to do it for four! Annoying yes, and I've clumsily ripped the LED ribbon cable before.
Joy-cons are not durable.

Joycon repair kit? I managed to fix one for my son and it has held up well for a year now. Not difficult just fiddly.

Joycons are surprisingly easy to fix - the joysticks can be purchased separately and its just a question of unscrewing and unplugging.
Although, if you're me, you'll also be cackhanded and need to resolder the bit you just snapped off.

My joycons seem to be broken. Well to be exact only one of them and only a bit broken, but broken enough to make it annoying.
I don’t want to pay £60 for a new set of official nintendo ones. There seem to be 1000s of almost identical looking knock off ones on amazon and ebay. Has anyone bought any of these / can anyone point me to a pair that will do all the same things as the official ones and won’t break in a week?
