You should try the off brand controllers. No drift.
You know what *doesn’t* drift? The Nyxi Wizard, the 8BitDo ~~Pro 2~~ *Ultimate* Controller, and the GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro Wireless Controller. They’re drift-proof.
I’m still using my launch day Switch with original Joycons….
Bought new control sticks off Amazon earlier this year for like $20 or something and that’s all I did was put in new sticks. The kits they sell come with all the tools and picture instructions.
WTF, every one has joycon drift? Damn you unlucky. I’ve got two pairs, and my partner has two pairs on here Switch, both had them for years and none of them has drift. The only thing I have is the player 1 light on one of the two joycons on my original pair has stopped working recently.
That’s sad
Why do you own over $1,000 worth of Joy-Cons
My launch day joycons don’t drift. I must be the luckiest person alive.
You can just send them in and get a free set from Nintendo. Of my three sets, only one had drift. Send them in and in a week had a brand new set for free.
That…is a lot of money in one picture. Wow.
The Tokyo Drift is strong with the one.
What kind of a joycon collection would it be if they didn’t have drift
Get the Pro Controller instead
Did you buy new switches for the special edition controllers?
Probably how many ps4 controllers I’ve had. And they all drifted…
Why keep supporting shitty hardware?
Why would you buy a faulty product intentionally? What is the matter with you?
I can show you just as many PS4 controllers I bought over the years that all have stick drift as well.
No offence hey, but this is fucking stupid. All those pieces of garbage managed to fuck up and what you do? Buy a different colour combination. Kudos. It’s thanks to people like you we have cheap overpriced shit that’s built to fail.
Jesus christ what a waste of money
Launch model Switch with BotW. Red and blue joycons still have no drift. Oled model bought on launch day, drifted day one lmao. My original joycons are champs.
This seems like a ridiculous waste of money.
my pair has yet to start drifting , but you should get some third party hardware, or just switch to pc and use an emulator instead of supporting a company that purposely sells defective products
Joycons are such weird controllers. They don’t do anything better than any other controller, they’ll always drift, and they’re terribly designed in an ergonomic sense, yet some people (looking at you, OP) buy them like they’re being taken off the market. I don’t know if it’s Nintendo FOMO or what, but it’s crazy how much people will let slide.
Your library has to be worth like $5k to justify this many, I got frustrated after 2 pairs and bought the pro controller which is still holding up but if it breaks I’m done with my switch
I think I’m finally experienced this drift everyone keeps talking about It’s not hindering to my ability to play my games. sometimes it feels like my joycon will move my characters, Just randomly to the left but they don’t keep going
It’s like they just they take a couple of steps and then stop. I wonder if this is what people were talking about but it doesn’t hinder my gameplay. I’ve never had my characters tilt to the left or move to the left when it was important, it’s never got me killed or anything but I have noticed it. I just release the joycon slightly leans to the left or something. But it fixes itself after like a second.
I have launch day joy cons that have seen a huge amount of use, including close to a year by a 4 year old. I have zero drift and I’ve no idea if I was seriously lucky or what the hell other people are doing to them.
Instead of fixing them you just keep buying more 🤦🏻♂️
Someone has $$$
I’ve never gotten joy con drift and typing this out feels like I’m jynxing myself but I had to put it out there
Idiot.
If you buy electrical contact cleaner and spray it into the joystick it gets rid of the drift. Done it on 2 joycons, 2 ps controllers and 1 Xbox one.
Sell them for a Steam Deck and be happy already.
Why give them that much money?..
just open up and repair them, it’s simple.
[iFixit guide](https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Joy-Con)
1. Op showing how stupid they are
2. Nintendo going, see, easy money, we can literally make 7 x the profit from defective products!
If ‘all’ of those drift then your doing something wrong.
But why?
If all of them really have drift, then you either have extremely bad luck or there are external factors contributing to the stick drift, like misuse, dirty fingers, etc.
So much wasted wealth.
Send them in for repair. It’s free.
Fool me 11 times….
You know, Nintendo repairs drift for free…
Mine are original and don’t drift. Maybe because I don’t play switch that much compared to ps5. But I do have a few hundred animal crossing hours lol
It’s funny when people post their poor life decisions as a flex
They are literally free to repair from Nintendo. What are you even doing
So I have a switch, I don’t play an excessive amount of time and am still on my original set of joycons. So I’m not really aware but these things will eventually be moving in the game even if my hands aren’t doing anything correct?
I should also mention I have an original NES from the 80s with 20 games and the controllers still work and function as normal even with childhood me throwing them around when I got mad? Planned obsolescence is some straight up BS, get your shit together Nintendo.
I’ve been using the same joycons I got with my switch in 2017 wtf are you guys doing to yours?
