Joy-Con

The problem for the Switch 2 for me isn’t the price of the console, it’s how it is monetized. They are charging $99 for another pair of joy con which are likely to drift in a couple of years. They charge $90 for a pro controller. They charge to use a built in game chat feature (only took them 20 yea

It is, though. In fact, I got stick dritf on my Dual Sense 7 months after I bought the console, while it took 4 years to happen with my Joy-Cons. At leat Nintendo sent me new ones with no charge. Sony made me buy a new controller all together. So far I haven't heard anything about it on the Switch 2

That joy-con drift was really bad on my Switch 1. Nintendo will fix them for free if you send them off, but you have to open up a ticket on their website first. The after market joy con stick replacements are just as bad if not worse than the original ones. It takes a couple of weeks to get the joy

This is something that exists for most controllers.

Yeah, this is one of those “lesson learned the hard way” things. Loose in a bag is pretty much the worst place for a Joy-Con to be, they really don’t like pressure or twisting at weird angles. I’d check Nintendo repair prices first, sometimes it’s not as bad as you’d think, especially if it’s just t

You could open it and see if you see anything obvious like a problem with the capacitive pad underneath, the Joycon 1s as long as you're gentle are super easy to repair in my experience, swapped out joysticks for quite a few different ones and it was no trouble and the buttons were on the same level

Legendary....huh? Is this revisionist history? You do know or remember that Nintendo is the only company to face a class action lawsuit because of their Joy-con stick drift issues, right? The materials they use are fragile and more prone to stick drift than the Dualsense and Xbox. They wouldnt even

Let’s be honest: no platform is perfect. Windows has problems? Of course. But acting like consoles are magical “plug and play forever” machines that never fail is ignoring decades of serious hardware flaws, artificial limitations and anti-consumer decisions from console manufacturers themselves. And
