In short, the thread title. Basically whener I push my pro controller stick to the right it jams and gets stuck there and doesn't return to centre. Anyone had this problem or know of a fix?

Sue the bastards! I gave it to a friend with a kid and he's had nothing but issues with it...shoddy work Ninty...
Oh for fuck sake! My left Joycon has just started playing up which makes handheld play frustrating. Now I have this to look forward to with my Pro controller?
These bastards cost a fortune to buy once, let alone having to get the shitting things replaced!
Fuck you, Nintendo!

It seems so. Nintendo has always had great quality control when it came to their hardware but they really dropped the ball when it came to Nintendo Switch.
User Banned (1 Week): Encouraging Fraud Over Multiple Posts
Op if you live by a GameStop look up if they have any USED pro controllers available. They have a nice return policy so go buy one, swap your junk controller and return it as if it's the one you bought and say it was defective. You'll get your money back and nobody will be the wiser. Just make sure it's the same color because that's the only description on the sticker.
There is literally no evidence this is a widespread problem with the pro what are you all on about....
It's not just this though. There is the widespread drift issue with left JoyCon as well.
They just put a sticker on the defects to be shipped off and get refurbished/fixed.
Consoles yes, peripherals/ controllers no. They all just use the same sku(for each color) but no serial numbers are logged.
Doesn't matter. It's still fraud to return an item that wasn't the one you bought.
Ever since the DS Lite their handhelds have had issues. The DS Lite had the hinge issues, the 3DS circle pad was flimsy (and there was that weird issues with the OG 3DS having painted D-Pads that would chip, though that was just an annoying cosmetic issue), and the entire clamshell family of 3DS's with the possible exception of the 2DSXL had issues with the top screen scratching when closed.
Well when I used to work at a GameStop our district manager instructed the store to hook up customers with this "perk" and in return they'd preorder stuff to pump up the stores numbers. So I guess GameStop itself committed a lot of fraud as you say.
Not that i expect all GS employees to necessaeily be diligent enough to check, but surely this is easy enough to do.
Because of one damaged Pro Controller? Okay
Your district manager was committing fraud, yes. Like you can already tell this isn't on the up and up if the district manager was doing this to try and make his numbers look better.
I mean, the Switch itself seems insanely durable. I have seen durability video where people throw it around in a room and it just keeps running.
The Pro Controller is generally great, don't worry. I use one since I got my Switch 1 1/2 years ago and don't have any major problems with it. It's a great piece of hardware.
I wish Sony made Controllers of this build quality.
You would not believe the things this guy did to make his district look good. This controller swap was just the tip of the iceberg.
GameCube was the last piece of Nintendo hardware built like a tank. DS and Wii ushered in the cheap hardware era.
Sony and Microsoft are bad for it as well. I hate the race to the bottom. I'd gladly pay an extra $10 for better consistent parts instead of playing the lottery of getting the good vs junk stuff.
So one person on a forum has a problem with his pro cotroller, we dont't even know how he treats his and suddenly it's a widespread problem.
Do you even have a switch or are you concern trolling?
I never said that this was a widespread issue. If you actually read what I wrote I said that the JoyCon drift issue was widespread.
And I do have a Switch. Got it at launch.
They way you wrote it looked like you lumped it together.
I also have a launch model and a pro controller, 2 years later no issues with the controllers.
The Pro Controller is not good at all, the analogs are too loose and have too much way in all directions, the triggers suck and the Dpad is a complete disgrace. The only good thing is the battery and even the battery was better in the Wii U Pro Controller.
People should stop raving about this expensive turd.

I just exchanged it, because under Australian consumer law you can argue that stuff isn't up to par even if it's outside of whatever shitty 3 months warranty period the manufacturer provides.
Only problem is I lost my smash edition controller and now I have a normal one. But I might buy some replacement grips or something for ebay to jazz it up
For the record, this is probably the fastest i've ever had a controller break, but I still think the ps4 controller is a bigger piece of shit

Are you living under a rock? The joycon drift issue is borderline recall level; there are NUMEROUS people here on ERA with the same issue
I have an original DMG-001 Gameboy that feels more robust and works fine.
