My Joycons are working just fine for me. The left one has had trouble connecting at times, but they seem to be solid controllers for me. Maybe I'm just really lucky. :/
so has anyone tried sending their joycons in for repair?
do they fall under warranty?
considering the joycons use a weird build with a spring, i could see them eventually giving out to some degree, maybe if they're used very unevenly?
though minor drift should be fixable for a while with recalibration
that guy on youtube suggests it might be dust collecting in and around the sticks
he fixed his drifting with one of those dryer sheets, but any cloth should do. as always, blowing in might just make things worse

My B button had trouble staying held down, manifesting in Link frequently starting to run then suddenly stopping. I returned the right Joycon on the 1-year system warranty and eventually the left one as well because the rail was uncomfortably loose. It also had a drifting issue but calibration fixed it. The call guy said something along the lines of, "We'd prefer you call us with an actual problem," yet I still got the replacement.
any one can help with problem on my left joycon ?

Funny enough, my Joy Cons are coming back from Nintendo tomorrow. I sent them a couple weeks ago because they were getting a little too bad.
My problems were as follows:
My problems were as follows:
- Extreme drift on both analog sticks
- Left Joy Con would slide off easily from console and even easier from grip.
- Right Joy Con had previous connection problems when used wirelessly
Got joystick ghosting, on the left one (blue) mostly because some object (or me) blocked the vision trought the switch. i have to put it at the same view level to work, but it is not an issue as i moved the stand to the center of my table now.
Looks like someone never used a Wiimote + Nunchuck before.
I agree that the Joy-Con is a silly controller, but i use it mainly for games required motion, most of the time I'm using SF30 Pro.
the wii remotesand nunchucks I own have been to hell and back and still work
sadly my joycons which I've been more careful with have just given me shit
Joy Cons just got back from Nintendo. They fixed all my problems and sent me some packing peanuts which was a nice addition. If you're Joy Cons are still under warranty, you might want to consider fixing them because the problems will only get worse. And if they already passed their first birthday, you can still pay for the repair which I'm pretty sure is <$100 US. Nintendo Support was super quick, helpful and funny. Lowkey we started talking about Fortnite at the end of the call and he was actually like listening to what I was saying, and he cracked a couple jokes. Their support people are very conversational if you're into that but can also be super quick if you don't have time. Really loved the experience!
I remember reading this somewhere, but I think things like controllers only carry a 3 month warranty. I think this includes software as well. it's only the system that's a year.
no it's a 12 month warranty. All Nintendo products have it. Note it doesn't protect against physical/liquid damage. But the issues everyone is talking about are covered (drift, Joy Con sliding off, wireless problems).

the joy cons may cover (1 year) controllers that come with the system.

I guess they consider controllers a system, just got mine repaired under warranty, it's been 9 months since I got them.
I've never personally sent anything in for repair, so I'm not sure. if the controller came with the system, it may still be covered. that 3 month warranty may only be for games and things like the pro controller. it's somewhat vague.
Could be that
I think that "accessories" refers to products like the AC adapter or charging stand.
