Is nintendo going to do anything at this point?

>make shitty controller
>fans complain and even start lawsuit
>Nintendo says "we'll replace em."
>"YAY ALL IS FIXED"
>Nintendo gives people with broken controller new controllers
>exact same controllers break down again
>Nintendo fans absolutely SHOCKED
>"I THOUGHT NINTENDO FIXED IT?!"
Nintendo explicitly offered replacements instead of fixing it, and you all couldn't wait to say Yes. Now you are surprised the same poorly designed crap breaks in the same way as the last one? Why? It's still the same controller, nothing was changed about it. Why would it magically become more durable?

I have to clean out my left stick every month because of joycon drift. Never had a controller do this shit

I haven’t had a problem. My trans gf is on her 2nd pair though

Good thing my Switch stays docked 99% of the time so i don’t have to deal with the joycons, i just use my pro controller.

Joycons are complete pieces of shit, both from a build quality and design viewpoint. Probably the worst controller I've used since the duke.

You still ended up paying 80 dollars for a controller

Dust your room.
Get some wd40
Have sex.

>Nintendo fucks up their controller by having a little slip where dust and grime can get into the joysticks that no one other controller has ever done
>durr its your fault must suck more Nintendo cock

I just do my classic technique of buying new ones, and returning the old ones in the new packaging, saying they were defective. Fuck Nintendo, I'm not buying a pair of joycons more than once.

I mean, it's not luck if you brought it before it happened.
It's still wrong to sell a shitty product.

Also, I remember as a kid my parents barely bought me one other controller and it usually was a shitty 3rd party one with any of my consoles just to play with friends. Also, it was easy to just fix the cable attachment.
I can't imagine parents buying a pair of joycons every year to their son, poor kidsmust be playing mario or Fortnite with faulty controller and there's not much they can do.

>I just do my classic technique of buying new ones, and returning the old ones in the new packaging,

Based if true, in what store can you do this?

Pretty much any major department store. Wagies aren't going to give a shit beyond confirming that there are controllers in the packaging. Hell sometimes they don't even check inside the packaging.

not a solution to the problem but you could just pay $15-$20 for an OEM part and optional tools, and just fixing it yourself

Even better, even when Nintendo gets them and realizes they are used, they can't do shit about it. If they try to hold the store responsible, that company just says "Lol, we'll stop stocking your shit then". Unless Nintendo wants to lose a major retailer, they have no choice but to eat the loss.

you can repair it very easy
seriously just search on youtube how to fix it, you can buy just joycon alone for few dollars and repair it on your own
there is a lot of youtube videos how to do it and its really simple even down syndrome kid would do that

I've been going strong since launch. Only this weekend have I suddenly started to have problems. Feelsbad. But I guess since I've had it since day one it was a pretty good run.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Pro Controllers have this fault, too. My left stick started drifting towards the end of 2018 after only two years of use, and a couple of months ago the right stick started drifting too.

Any 3rd party alternatives that are good, reliable and don't cost the earth? Not buying any first party controllers until this design flaw is fixed.

Should have got an xbox

Repair it yourself. You can get replacement sticks for fairly cheap and it's not too hard to service them.

inb4 "excusing Nintendo's incompetence".
I'm not excusing shit. The drift issue is irritating. I'm just saying that you can fix it yourself. I don't know why every time I say "you can fix it yourself", some retards read it as "Nintendo did nothing wrong".

I got my Switch before drift was known of, and it comes with a set of joycons.

My joy cons are ok and I have a launch console but the battery has always been shit, in shovel knight I got like an hour and a half of play time and the battery can’t charge faster than it drains when charging in handheld mode.

Was thinking of getting one of those kits, probably not this month since the prices all went up, last year they were like 10 bucks were i saw them.

Are they legit? do they last long enough or they also have to be replace every 6 months or so?

My joycons also have connectivity issues. That includes wireless and not. When it's wireless it will sometimes disconnect and when it's plugged in it will sometimes change to wireless as if I had unplugged it.

We know they're easy to repair, how does that make it not an issue?

If you have a Wii U pro controller (or any recent one you prefer) you can buy a dongle for ~$20 and use that instead. Only issue is you can't turn on the switch with it but that's no big deal for me.

Did they really stop fixing them? Mine just started drifting...

It clearly is an issue, you fucking retard. Read the posts you're quoting.
