Will they do this out of warranty too? Our launch switch started doing this a week ago.
They repaired my sons launch switch joycon about a month before the COVID crisis started here in the US.Will they do this out of warranty too? Our launch switch started doing this a week ago.
I don't think opening it up is any issue (at least in the US) but replacing the sticks with 3rd party ones and then sending it in might raise some eyebrows. But I'll be honest I've never sent anything into Ninty for repairs before.
I think you're asking the wrong people.It's kinda nuts that they never fixed this. Is this like an unfixable problem or something?
I first noticed my joycons were drifting on XC2 too. The drift is a terrible problem. Is Nintendo still fixing joycons for free?
Fair enough lol. I'm just guessing Nintendo might not know how to fix it because of how widespread of an issue it is without having been fixed. Does the Switch Lite suffer from joycon drift as well?
I don't think the joydrift will ever have the same amount on coverage than RROD. Microsoft and Nintendo aren't the same from a lot of journalists.
Hold on, can we plug any bluetooth controller to the Switch?I fixed my drift by buying an 8bitdo SN30 Pro+. Worked like a charm.
Lol, it's because at this point Joycons should come with a can of that shit for free, that's how terrible and widespread the problem is.I swear I'm going to start taking shots everytime someone mentions contact cleaner in a thread about this issue. Nintendo should've fixed this issue a long time ago.
One literally killed your console and one is annoying but completely fixable multiple different ways. RROD is like 100x's worse than drifting joycons and it's not even close.
I don't think so, but 8bitdo usually supports the Switch and the SN30 Pro+ is one of the best controllers.
Don't know about durable hardware. An old DS lite of ours had one of the screens that would randomly shut off and the hinge was cracked, falling apart and would no longer hold. Then my OG 3ds had flickering screens depending on how it was opened and the top screen would get scratched when closed. I guess both fall under issues with clam shell design thoughIt's flat out unacceptable. I don't understand how Nintendo, famous for durable hardware, is able to get away with this.
Honestly, just get an 8bitdo or a Magic NS and deal with the headache of having to pull out the Joycons for amiibos.
Do not bother it still happens. I was a dummy and went through like 4 pair before I decided to just play docked exclusively which ended up killing my interest as a platform because it's not really good as home console imo.It is the worst thing. My repaired joycons started drifting again.
I've been thinking of getting another pair but it seems like even the latest batches are still affected? It just sucks so much.
All i have is a guitar polish/cleaner, would that work?The electrical contact cleaner lasted a few months for me. On my second application so far, so long as this it doesn't eventually permanently break down, I'm okay with it.
It sounds like it would be annoying in XB2. It became a huge issue with me in Dragon Quest 11, where directional input on the stick would skip dialogue boxes. That... was not fun to deal with.
I'm not completely sure, I used quick drying electronic cleaner that I got at Walmart for $5. I've heard people mention that WD-40 contact cleaner works for them, as well.
Which ones if I may ask?i got a 3rd party controller(specifically one that attaches in handheld mode) and never went through it again, after going through two pairs of joycons.
highly recommend people do that. dealing with contact solution, repairs etc etc is tiring as heck
