Everyone was telling me that this time they would have fixed it. Called it. I think I’m down to one joycon that doesn’t drift :P

echodot,

I’ve never had stick drift with PlayStation or Xboxes despite people telling me it’s a problem. The switch though is awful for it.

I don’t know what they do to make their analogue sticks so bad but they’re definitely getting them from the world’s cheapest supplier, apparently one that even Sony and Microsoft turned up their noses.

Omgpwnies,

PS/Xbox controllers have more internal space, so their joystick modules are much, much larger than what goes in the joycon. That means they can have more material in the potentiometers, meaning less susceptible to wear and dust/dirt intrusions.

JoyCon 1s also have a flap that dust can get into, and that's likely a large part of the problem. This is fixed with JoyCon 2s, so I'm not sure why everyone's jumping to the assumption that they will be equally brittle.

My first takeaway opening the box was WTF is going on with the speaker grille/fan intake?

Every phone/tablet has dust/waterproofing mesh, it’s standard. Everyone puts in on the inside layer of the device with the meatier grille outside it, so the mesh doesn’t get scuffed up or cut.

Nintendo had to think different and put the mesh on the outside. Good luck to the handheld players, luckily mine will live in a dock for eternity.

did the nintendo management change or something? did we get new laws about repairable devies standards?

so im just wondering what did you guys expect

I can’t understand why they still ship a plastic screen. Surely there are other ways to keep glass from exploding that don’t involve a top plastic layer.

I got a screen protector first thing for mine. In a matter of months any unprotected screens will turn into shit.

I guess this is typical nintendo, haven’t bought anything from them since the 3ds.

ms_lane,

Is glass exploding even that much of a problem?

Dropping an iPad doesn’t even break the screen all the time and when it does it’s garbled.

Not sure, but they anticipate a lot of children having this device in their hands, so they’re going to design it for that, perhaps even over-design it, just in case.

Your post is a little confusing. If you haven’t bought anything from them since the 3ds, then how did you put a screen protector on your Switch 2?

net00,

I meant that prior to the switch 2 I only had a 3ds. I’ve been out of the loop on nintendo stuff during all that time

Yeah, I’ll just buy a 3rd party joycon if it’s supposed to drift anyway, at least they last a bit longer and cost much less

slaneesh_is_right,

That will show them

If its still there and its obviously a well known issue, they left they in there so you artards would have to give them more money for repairs 🤣🤣

echodot,

They’ll just get sued again if they try that.

RaptorBenn,

What do you mean try? It’s done.

echodot,

It’s been out like a week I don’t think there’s been time for anyone to experience stick drift yet.

RaptorBenn,

Dw, it’ll come.

echodot,

You can’t bring a lawsuit for something you think might happen.

RaptorBenn,

Oh wow what incredible insight, here i was thinking time worked in reverse soz man.

Yet, millions will buy it. Because they hold onto their exclusives for dear life. Getting literally anything else is a better decision.

j0ester,
