I tried to replace the stick on my drifting right joy con and appear to have damaged it, as it no longer connects to the switch. So I'm looking to replace with a third-party alternative since originals are hard to find right now. Does anyone have a specific one they would recommend? Any that had unexpected problems? Perhaps it is too much to wish for, but I'm hoping the third-party ones might actually have less drift problems than the original.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried to pull them apart and see what's damaged?

If you're not going to try to fix, might as well send em my way.

I fixed the drift on one but the other got messed up somehow when replacing the joystick. It isn't recognized by the switch at all, either bluetooth or docked. I have it apart again right now to try and fix but I just want to get a second set regardless.

Also is Nintendo still repairing joy-cons? I've tried submitting the form on their site but it doesn't work.

Yeah, I believe they are. Just make sure all of the ribbon cables are installed in the correct orientation. Sounds silly but they only work in one direction. I've made that mistake before.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
