Any pictures?
If you watch the video carefully and listen to what he's describing, there's really no way you could get it wrong, assuming you're competent with the soldering. I don't have a Switch but watching the video I could see where the trace ran from the built-in (i.e. in the PCB) antenna back to the solder point on the board. Simple mod, but like he says not necessary unless you're really having problems with that particular joycon. He definitely proved his concept though - the 'problem' joycon worked better than the 'good' one after the mod.
I'm more then competent with soldering...
The thing is with videos is that they usually unclear and quickly outdated (see AL9H vid tutorials)
The best kind of tutorials are the ones with text and pictures, so that the people can LEARN from it instead of execute it as a mindless zombie.
I've done tons of trace repairs on a variety of consoles.
I don't disagree, but he just published the video on YT today. I'm sure someone will document it better, maybe come up with a better execution. The mod is about as simple as it gets though - it is quite literally 'attach a short wire here, tuck it out of the way here.'
Cba to waste time on watching a dumb video ;/
Guess I'm just getting old
I added an edit to that post too. Found something worth nit-picking. I think you'll agree with me.
When you need to solder some extra wires into your controller and everyone is okay with it there is something wrong with everyone -.-V
Does anybody really have problems besides reviewers who tried hard to duplicate the problems of one person? My joycons work fine.

That's honestly what I expected to hear after a couple weeks from now ... crickets. Remember when the press was going wild with warnings that Wiimotes were deadly projectiles, being accidentally hurled by players, destroying TV's and cracking skulls? Resulted in the silicone Wiimote condoms.
Ignorance is bliss.
OK. Good to know. I just expected a lot more talk about the problem after release if it was widespread problem. So I was wondering.Yes I had issues with the left joycon. I am at most 5 feet from the console, and I was using them separate in each hand. When my knee partially blocked the left joycon it would lose all connectivity. Never had one issue with the right controller. They are now attached to the console permanently and I am using a pro controller when docked. Pro controller has worked phenomenally, I highly recommend it.
Yeah, I've had some left joycon issues of my own. Granted my Switch is positioned next to a bunch of wires, which Nintendo recommends against due to interference of the joycon signals. Anyways, sitting on my couch with controller in my lap, I get intermittent issues, but if I just raise it up a little bit (as my Switch is on a countertop) the issue goes away.Does anybody really have problems besides reviewers who tried hard to duplicate the problems of one person?
