Retards, drifting is caused by dust not wear.

Drift is inevitable on any console sticks with enough use my PS4 left stick is screwed up

Isn't it both? Which is why cleaning it is only a temporary fix

>cheaper model costs more to fix
Makes sense.

Thats due to spring wear, not a manufacturing flaw.

No, I have a launch Switch, it is used by a kid constantly, I have opened it twice after drifting, the contacts were fine, cleaning them fixed the drifting.

they're the same sticks as the revised switch which has no drifting problems
maybe some people should take this advice

>They're the extremely easily repairable ones that are in regular joycons.

dont you think parents already do that? their kids will still fuck it up somehow and that's $200 gone to waste. and i dont think most parents know that the Lite is an absolutely shit console for their kids and they should be getting a regular Switch because it's more durable. but they look at the price tag and thinking that they'll save $100 if they get the Lite. instead, however, they get scammed up the ass. Nintendo is so fucking retarded and dishonest.

You can fix joycon drift with contact cleaner in less time than it takes to make a whiny reddit post yet autists just can't bring themselves to do it

It used to be but the switch isn't the same caliber of nintendium

The materials are good and the build is of good quality, however there is something really wrong with them, a design oversight causes dust to gather on top of the contacts, causing bad connections i.e. drifting.

>Spending thousands on your child.

Bruh. stop..

They stopped using Nintendium when the Wii era started.

Seriously, how the fuck did that gameboy survive?

>cleaning them fixed the drifting.
Objectively false since the drifting is caused by design issues of mechanical components.

probably because they have to fully disassemble the whole machine instead of just one small part (which even then is only like a 30min project at most)

it sits in the dock all day i dont give a shit

>I've never touched a joycon let alone opened one, I'll still spread bullshit.

its a burnt shell placed over a working chip. the fire that burnt the plastic would have also burnt the display. i keep telling you its fake but manchildren still keep posting this as some sort of proof that their toy company is superior.

Was there just some sort of crappy production run of them a couple months ago?

on release they were real bad, but newer models are fixed apparently.

Im starting to experience drift in my left joycon. How hard would it be to disassemble, clean, and reassemble it to fix the drift?

Different Joysticks, not even comparable.
Harder than it looks, the Joycons have membranes thar get in the way after dissasembling them, the joysticks are held together by some flimsy aluminum tabs, they break VERY easily, you'd need to be very careful. Assembly is easier.

>girlfriend
Girls are overrated, user. What you need is a big, strong man.

This. Nintendo already got away with releasing underpowered consoles for the last 2 decades so now they've realised they can release consoles that will break within 12 months and their fans will just buy another.

And what exactly has your girlfriend done to deserve a switch?

>xbone

And why exactly should people take dating advice from a virgin such as yourself?

That's what people used to say about the red ring of death on xbox 360 at first. They'd claim "oh the only people having their console's fail are the ones who don't follow instructions and put it in a non-ventilated entertainment cabinet." But it turned out they all had the critical failure, it was just a matter of time.

Apparently drift is caused by dust rubbing off of inside parts or something like that, so the less you use them, the less likely they are to drift.

That's just my guess based of what I've heard though, I'm no hardware genius or anything like that.

Woah calm down user. He just asked a question.

>best in the industry
>literally had to make ELITE controller 2 because the first one was so cheaply designed and made

Here's how to fix this: just repeat the original Driftgate. Keep baiting middling no-name attorneys/firms with this issue to bait another one into attempting another class action suit against Nintendo. This puts Nintendo in the public hot seat again so they will be pressured to fix this at no cost (albeit probably without official announcement yet again).

It's shitty that this is how things have to be done with Nintendo but at least we know a reliable weak point to exploit for change.

I've heard about plenty of cases within my friend group of Bone controllers with broken bumpers. Anything but the original revision have them as a single piece that is very brittle.

My switch went months without use and still has drift issues. I counted the time played and it hasn't been used for more than 100 hours since I bought it. I tried cleaning any dust that may have gotten inside and nothing changed. What a piece of fucking shit. Even if the sticks worked, they are still some of the worst analog sticks to ever grace a controller.

Left one is ridiculously easy to take apart and reassemble.

Did you just open the joycons? Or the joystick itself?

>critical failure

i have the same problem with 2 different left Joycons.
Always to drifts to the left and only to the left. The right joy con drifts to the right. Only because the analog is in the right analog upside down so it still technically drifts to the left.
This is a common problem for the Joycons that has nothing to do with dust.

>I have no reason to lie

You are seriously bad at applying screen protectors.

sorry xiao but your products are bad

Retard, have you ever seen the inside of one? It drifts left because the connections intersect on the upper left side, when dust gathers there it starts causing interference due to the contacts being so close together. Stop talking out of your ass.

Are the screen protector's really worth it?

Yes. I take my joycons apart once every 3-5 weeks when the drift happens again.
I never have to clean them because nothing inside the joycon is dirty, The joy con's analog isn't the same type of analog as every other controller. It's controlled by a sensor and two strips. If the strips mis-align at all you get the drifting problem. The strips are located in the top and left sides of the analog.
Alternatively the right joy con's are location on the bottom and right sides.
Simple "cleaning" the analog does next to nothing. any cleaner or compressed air one would use would just potentially realign the strips.

Easy damage control: Just blame the user for mishandling the product. Steve Apple did it with the iPhone 4.

I've had two bone controllers in the same year, both times one or more of the face buttons stopped springing up to their normal positions and it's annoying to press harder to get them to work, and actively avoid playing games I prefer a controller for because I don't want to go buy another one.

xbone controllers are notorious for failure, some failures a little more explosive than others. If you've ever taken one apart you'll know how clearly rushed the design is, it's an utter joke they shipped it in that state.

Most controllers usually break after a few years of use. Nintendo controllers and consoles are usually the exception - that's why Joy Cons are getting so much hate, since Nintendo shit usually never breaks.

In reality, the Nintendo Joy Cons just have about the same life span as XBone and PS4 controllers.

>Replacement touch screen digitizer
~$25
>Tempered glass screen protector that probably won't break unless your a dumbass and throw your keys on a bag with your switch in it (And is also a little easier to clean)

It's up to you.

My ps4 controllers didn't start drifting until like 4 years into it's life. 3 of my joy-cons got the drift in under a year.

It was on the wiiu era, remember all those smashed TV's?

If that's the case, I've died a total of 3 times so far.

As opposed to?

You fucking retard, people buy consoles for their kids, which make up a large percent of the industries sales. If Nintendo fails to child proof their handheld thats totally their failing.

Generally yeah. Glass protectors basically act as a focus sash for your consoles.

You have to bring back the switch along with all the included accesories even if it's just a defective joycon to RMA in EU anyway. When one of my RAM sticks started giving errors I had to return both sticks.

Some shit that's soldered on? A different thumbstick entirely that doesn't already have an abundant supply of aftermarket sticks you can buy right now?

Exactly. Nintendo makes shit controllers.

>different joysticks
That's the fucking point, the Nintendo sticks are ass. They are cheaply manufactured there's no getting around it.

I bought a second pair of Joycons to match the ones I got with the neon so I could have a full red and blue set.
The second set I bought I never really touched until I got MHGU, and the sticks were already drifting even though I had never used the controllers before, they just sat in their box on a shelf.
Its a hardware defect, they really should have replaced the sticks. There is a reason why Nintendo is offering to replace all joycons for free no questions asked if its related to drifting. They wouldn't be doing that if it wasn't their fault.

Attached: 555-come-on-now.jpg (600x375, 38K)

The joycons get dust and shit in them which causes them to drift. The reason nintendo is open to fixing them is because all it takes to fix is a squirt of contact cleaner and leaving it to dry for an hour.

The one autist claiming it's because it has a part that degrades over time is basing it off one redditor who took one joy con apart (not multiple different joy cons just one) and had a look inside, and it wasn't the first time he had taken that specific controller apart either so he probably broke it himself with his earlier tinkering

He couldnt resist the onions face. I fucking laughed

I'm not denying they might just be cleaning and it could be a quick fix, but I'm saying its a legitimate problem that is their fault.
I've had brand new joycons that I've never used before drift straight out of the box, thats not me mistreating my brand-new never used joycons, thats a design flaw.

Imagine having such a mental health problem that you has to bring your gameboy to a war zone just to fix your gaymer anciaite

Again with this shit? This user is right, I remember that reddit retard that broke the tabs and couldn't put it together properly.

I'm actually super stoked about that Phantasy Star re-release

Entirely Nintendo's fault. I'm surprised they keep using the same shitty design when it's clear what's causing the problem, fucking stubborn retards.

Okay one, kinda right on the aluminum but if you know about it going in and don't immediately attempt to tear it in half, you should be fine. The real issue is that there's this type of glue that is used in the joycon that if you take to long or touch it to much, complety ruins the vibrations, and I have absolutly no idea where to buy it from.

The thing is, the problem isn't with the design of the sticks. The Vita and 3DS use the same basic design. It's with the thickness of the conductive membrane, which only needs to be changed by microns to be fixed, not enough to get noticed by the naked eye during a teardown.

Wait a month or so, and if unresponsive stick reports start popping up again, THEN we can start laughing at how inept Nintendo is.

I have a launch DS4 that I use often for PC gayman, the only problem I've ever had is the rubber membrane behind the dpad fucking tearing apart

Using compressed air or contact cleaners won't void your warranty (I mean if shit like dust, dead skin and dandruff can gradually collect in there, it stands to reason that a little volatile liquid won't be a problem) but opening up the joycon to replace the sticks will likely do it and is generally suggested as a last resort.

Not sure if it matters or not, but the analog sticks are at least superficially different, though compatible with the original joycon. The article is being a bit disingenuous for the sake of clicks I'd assume. No surprises here.

>I use my switch a fuck ton, and I havnt noticed it.
Then you probably don't have it you dingus.
Its basically just ghosting that you can't stop, the joysticks will just jitter outside of the deadzone randomly which makes some games completely unplayable.

>dude just replace the sticks yourself
Fuck that noise, i shouldn't have to put in more work because someone cheaped out on parts

Youve never had to play an intensive game like splatoon or Smash then

no, i'm not retarded

Sadly, it is, dust will always find a way in, after cleaning it the first time I only took them out when I wanted to play, I tried to keep everything as clean as possible, but still, no more than a year later one started drifting, followed by the other one in the next few weeks.

I have been repairing electronics for years so it is no more than an annoyance for me, but that doesn't make it less of a problem, not everyone specialises in that and no one should be caring that much for a fucking handheld, even more so when they market it as a "take it anywhere", even the fucking beach.

Your PS4 controller probably has better protection against dust accumulating in it's circuits. Xbox controllers seemingly don't and the Switch joycons have these little rubber flaps underneath you can easily lift with something like a toothpick which most likely explains how so many people are getting drift this easily.

For the original switch it's mandatory, The dock will scratch the fuck out of your screen otherwise.

Parents don't give a fuck user, this one is smaller, cheaper, looks less breakable, and has less parts to lose.

Nintendo is literally releasing this for Pokemon.
They've released a bunch of cheaper versions of handhelds a few months before big pokemon releases

>The dock will scratch the fuck out of your screen otherwise.
Maybe if you just jam it in like a retard, also it doesn't really scratch the screen it'll scratch the bezel which is whatever, but still just don't jam it into the dock recklessly.
If you're really concerned buy a cheap bit of felt and glue it inside the dock or something.

In the same way my launch 360 hasn't redringed, it isn't like it didn't happen, even to people who haven't abused their shit.

They are genuinely pretty fucking comfy, much more ergonomic than I would expect a wedge of cheese to feel.

Might put it on the to-do list then. I've already got a N3DS that I never use and far too many normal DSes for my own good, but there's something about that absurd form factor.

It is a physical issue related to cheap manufacturing and design. The contact points WILL wear out. Had drift after 3 months of use etc. Fuck off.

can't hurt, pretty sure you can get a 2ds for like $50.

What even is joycon drift? I don't understand it, I mostly use the pro controller in docked.

the left stick picks a direction and constantly moves in it even in neutral

Mine was drifting from normal gameplay. Though I let the controller sit in a drawer for a few months and it magically started working again.

t. retard

I haven't had any drift yet, but the joysticks are an absolute piece of shit. Letting them return to center, even slowly, often has them misreport their position on the other side of the fucking field. When I was lining up jumps in AC, my astral fucking loved just randomly jumping right back at me. In LA, doing the floor tile puzzles was a complete fucking trainwreck because they don't let you use the D-pad for anything.

I really hate these controllers. I think they're one of the most poorly designed things Nintendo has ever put out, at least the N64 sticks were good for a year or a week if you played Mario Party. Not to mention the never-ending examples of a character continuing to run after I've let off on the stick because of how shit the wireless connection is.

imagine paying 80 dollar on joycon and having to spend time changing sticks every few months and still defending nintendo.

Thing actually has a pretty fair amount of nintendium, enough that casual play and keeping your console clean will keep it chooching along. JerryRigEverything's opinion after a fairly comprehensive stress-test was "get a screen protector, but it won't break unless you're trying to break the thing" last I recall.

it literally does

they have to disassemble the entire console housing to replace the stick because there aren't removable controllers

that's obnoxious, but it makes sense

imagine being such an omega sperg that you try to shit on soldiers in a warzone for playing a gameboy

do you use it portably? among the people I know IRL who have issues with drift, it's almost entirely people who use it mostly portably

so does the revision switch fix this drifting shit?

I thought the problem was with the d-pad?

No. I fucking hate the fact that I have to do this, but I have no other option, due to losing the receipt (Aus, so the free repair isn't a thing).
getting it sent in for repair is almost as expensive as buying new ones, and knowing the replacements are going to fail a year later makes repairing them myself the only worthwhile option.

No, the joysticks randomly jitter outside of the deadzone giving ghosting style inputs even when you aren't touching the controller.
When you are touching the controller it'll still fuck with your inputs. Its just a hardware defect, it doesn't always happen to joycons, but a lot of them have been getting it.

apple users are such clowns

then why is it nintendo controllers that are breaking so much
are nintendo fans really so much dumber than playstation and xbox fans

Manchildren mishandle their Switch and the joycons break
My launch Switch joycons are still fine and have zero drift.

This is fucking pathetic if true. Drift is common issue, I have it on my joy con and I am sick of it. It's fucking annoying.

I bought a Switch Lite yesterday, along with Mario Odyssey and Marvel UA3.

My current setup doesn't really work for a tv console, and I love the idea it being like a GBA2....but I'm honestly not really happy. It's pretty small.

UA3 feels like a downscaled mess, like I'm playing a PSP game that was downscaled from a console,

Mario looks great, but when I look at it I feel like, wow this would look even better on a tv.

I think Pokemon will work well on it. I might get Dragon Quest when it comes out next week. I'll probably use it for RPGs, but beyond that I'm kinda disappointed.

It wasn't the games either. The fucking marketing was SHIT.

Everyone who came over to play mine said this as the first thing:

I didn't know it was a new system. I thought it was just a screen addon for the wii

After scratching my DS screen with the stylus it came with back in high school, I now slap screen protectors on all my portable devices. Even if today's products are more scratch resistant than ever with gorilla glass and whatnot, tempered glass can act as a secondary shock absorber to save your screen from shattering after an accidental bump or drop, and it happens to the best of us. It's always worth it.

What? I got the smaller one so that I can use it portable comfortably. The larger one sits in the dock retard.

>is the screen that's bigger than any other portable system release before big enough?

The new joycons are slightly different, so we don't know

Nintendo are in much more dire financial straits than Yea Forums (NintendoGAF) is willing to admit. They are using cheap parts and taking so many shortcuts with the Switch Lite because they literally can't afford to do otherwise.

If you're a clumsy mongoloid, sure. Most of us have control over our limbs.

>still trying to force this meme

Whats the game on the lite?

>+1 game
Why?

i dont care about aex

nintendofag cope

Why do things never change? Nintendo always builds their consoles with shitty patented parts which means if something breaks (it usually does, since they do it as cheap as possible) your only options are to:
>pay Nintendo through the nose for replacement parts
>send it off to Nintendo, also pay through the nose
>risk it and buy "replacement" parts from a Hong Kong seller on ebay
>risk it and give it the guy in your local repair shop who needs a YouTube video
At least I could easily buy a new joycon for the Switch without the whole system being fucked.

I fucking warned you people not to buy switch lite for this exact fucking reason and you all laughed at me.

There's a big difference between opening up some joycons and having to open up the entire fucking thing.

Not only did they stop using nintendium after the original ds but even when they were still using it their was precedent for Nintendo controllers having stick problems with the 64

Omg can’t wait to give up the ability for it to be a home console! Yaaaay!

Remember when we thought the dock was going to boost the graphical output of games and give it some extra processing power, and then it turned out a bunch of games ran better not docked? Lol well now you can erase that embarrassment forever by removing the ability to even have to option of tv play! You’re welcome, gamers!

One of my co-workers had a fucked stick but didn't dare to change it despite ordering a new one and the needed screwdrivers.
Took me five minutes tops to change it, he gave me $30 for that so thanks Nintendo I guess

ITT Nintendo controllers require a monthly tune-up

i don’t get this “i don’t have a tv meme” do you idiots not realize a monitor and some speakers work just fine? how poor are some of you fucking losers that you don’t even have a monitor with hdmi.

Can confirm, I had the same problem with mine when it started drifting. Haven't had issues since.

That and I'm poor ;_;

Don't even need that, I had an old ass monitor I didn't use and a cable that allowed me to hook it up to my switch cost me like 20 euros. And I just plug my headphones into the switch whenever I play.

>now both nintendo and nokia sell faulty stock at full price
i hate all companies

To everyone confused about how some peoples joycons are drifting, just remember, only Americans get theirs fixed for free because it literally only happens to them. Their gigantic greasy hands and their literal autism to play games like smash and Splatoon with the joycons is why so many of them have this problem.

One thing no one ever mentions about the Switch lite that I just can't stand is the fucking minus button being placed all the way on the left side. I understand why it was done with joycons, it gave some parity between the two for when they're used as individual controllers, but why the fuck would you do this with the handheld version? Why the fuck can't you put Plus and Minus--Or hell, you know what they are, START AND SELECT--right next to each other in a place that's actually easy to reach? Fuck, this is the one reason I'm not buying a Switch lite.

Nah, library was fine too my dude, probably still has more exclusives than both the PS4 and Xbone combined if you don't count games that were ported to the switch

The marketing was just terrible, and the name was a fucking mistake. Most parents thought it was just a special controller for the Wii that looked way too expensive, they had no idea it was a whole new console.

The sticks suck, objectively so.

why isn't my screen scratched after a year of owning a switch?

How is the D-pad? Clicky or squishy?

so for the original switch, if i buy new joycons ill be okay?

same here, I play some plataformers too but I also use the directional buttons for those, so the drifting doesn't really matter me.

post the un-cropped version then.

Joycons have never been fixed or modified whoever tells you otherwise is lying. The sticks from day 1 joycons compared to the new color joycons are exactly the same.

For fuck’s sake

Dumbass

No, they aren’t, the sticks are LITERALLY the same, stop lying.

how can you live in all that filth?

i still don't understand what joy con drifting is. is it when the analog stick is being moved in one direction even though you're not pressing it? like the shit that happens with EVERY controller? all i do was disconnect and reconnect the joy cons and they work again.

Why would any Switch owner die in a car crash?

what is this retarded design decision where it just looks like a switch tablet set into a frame that also happens to house the controllers. It still doesn't look like a single coherent unit.

why whats wrong with them

It has a more efficient processor but smaller battery. It nets a longer battery life but switchv2 has longer battery overall.

Surprise, you bought cheap, chinese plastic and got tricked into paying top dollar, for what is only probably 4$ worth of raw material, with all the labor being done by machine to boot.

>I expected my $100 cheaper device with less functionality to have improvements

I wish they had even for the stock console, those things are every bit as good as an analog stick and it would've helped the portability of joycons.

Fucking hell, most of my friends use cheapo pc pads and they work well for years. I myself have Logitech Chillstream from 2000s and it still work well. Only thing is the fan is rattling and doesn't cool anymore(can turn it off so no big deal). How the fuck console devs can fuckup their main input device so bad.

What happened? My joycons started to drift so I got a new pair at walmart, cleaned off the old ones with alcohol wipes and then returned the old ones. When did Nintendo turn into such fucking kikes?

This this this so much

Kiketendo uses all the shittiest components now. Theres a reason people dont say nintendium anymore

you retard, Lawyers arent scared of big corporations if they have a solid case, it means tons of money for them why would they pass that?

are you a fucking child that its loyal to a company that is fucking their costumers with faulty products?

nintendo's lawyer power-level is far greater than any civilian lawyer you could find

class actions lawsuits are too small for a single lawyer, you go to a firm for those,

dumbasses going on about drift aside, the joycons sticks just feel fucking shit compared to a full size stick like you get on the pro controller, they're small and short.

i believe you

Two in a fucking row user. One was brand new.

lite is for autists that cannot fucking stand the idea of a switch that can, well, switch, and want it to be purely one or the other

alternatively it's for people that want another game boy, and since they're using a handheld they're assumedly not going to be hugely nitpicky about screen size/resolution like Yea Forums is (or vastly overblow any display problems as lItErAlLy UnPlAyAbLe) so it saves them a hunsky on switch games

You mean for them, right? Nintendo always sell their consoles at profit, so they probably used even cheaper components.

The components are near-identical to a stock Switch and any profit is probably from streamlining the manufacturing process, new availability of certain parts, yadda yadda on the existing parts getting cheaper; profit-margin on the original Switch in March of '17 was ~$50 per-unit tech.nikkeibp.co.jp/dm/atcl/column/15/363874/032700069/

Stock Switch is probably more profitable just due to the higher price-point but I imagine they're still turning enough of a profit that they feel comfortable selling the Lite at what they do

Literally a downgrade.

imagine being this much of a tendie drone

imagine being a complete retard on purpose so you can get away with "dab on them tendies *dab*" posts

Not unless you regularly take your Switch out in public, which you shouldn't. Portability is a meme, just browse Yea Forums on your phone like every other user.

Honestly, if Nintendo handled their account system a bit better then I wouldn't mind having my launch switch at home and the lite as a portable one.

Problem is, their cloud saving still isn't great and account system is still pretty stupid. Maybe if Nintendo does some stuff in the future to fix it I will consider it, but right now I have no desire.

HOLY SHIT GUYS! A HOUSE JUST FLEW OVER MY SWITCH LITE?! Does that mean my joycons are drifting?

I did that for like a year but broke eventually.

I got burned on the New 3DS (its increased specs aren't anything to write home about and you get tremendously more value out of the thing if you're using pirate programs to force it to run everything better instead of only N3DS-exclusive titles) so I have absolutely no interest in a Switch that will probably have marginally better specs.
