Video shows possible drift issues already arising with the Nintendo Switch Lite



The Nintendo Switch has been a success in many ways, but where most can agree that the console has fallen short, is in regards to the Joy-Cons; ever since the launch of the Switch, Joy-Con drift has become a rampant issue. Such problems were assumed to be done away with the Switch Lite, the smaller, more portable oriented variation of the Switch, which lacked the detachable Joy-Cons. However, once a teardown of the new hardware had taken place, it was revealed that the joysticks used within the Switch Lite were almost identical to the problematic ones from the drift-ridden Joy-Cons, meaning that it was entirely possible for users to still experience drift.

Such a problem could be much worse for the Lite revision, as the control sticks are connected to the entire system, and cannot be removed and replaced as easily as they can be with the original Switch. In a video posted by Alexis Javier, he shows off his brand new Switch Lite playing Breath of the Wild, and you can quickly notice that input is being registered on the right joystick, despite the user not pressing any buttons. Now, the video in question could just stem from an unlikely rare, faulty unit. Or, it could have been done in order to raise outrage during the launch week of the Switch Lite. As of the time of writing, this video appears to be the only popular source showing off possible drift with the console, but only time will tell if drift will begin to impact owners of the Switch Lite.

The Lite literally has the exact same analog sticks as the original Switch.....you can watch people take apart the Lite on Youtube and prove it.
You disregarded my statement about it, and didn't even address what I had written, which differentiates it from what you're talking about, regardless. But maybe I didn't make myself clear. If that's the case, I'm drunk, and it's entirely my fault. What I was saying (or had meant to say,) was that, regardless of the "configuration" being the same, we do not know how each specific component was built, and waht differentiates it, materialistically, from its predecessor. Maybe they are made with different material, or a different compound, which causes a change in how it interacts with its surrounding component, thereby causing a different reaction, (in this case, a non-drift situation).. Hope this makes some sense. Drunk Josh is trying hard, here. Thank you for bearing with me. I appreciate you!

Idk, i don't believe cancer exist, I think people are trying so hard to worry and believe that people die from this, that they are convincing themselves it exists. In my family nobody has cancer So i think 1, its over exaggerated, in terms of its commonality, and 2, i feel people LOOK for things to complain about and try and FIND issues. Im sure its been fixed to a great degree.
Nice. Mature reply. A++.

Okay, are people here just trolling now? I'd suggest you read my response again, rather than attempting to reiterate, what I've already agreed upon. The fact that you're attempting to go this passive aggressive route is childish, to say the least, and is honestly quite frustrating.

None of my two consoles (Switch/lite) has presented this issue. Why? Because I don’t use the joycons! I only use my magic ns adapter with a PS4 controller. Profit!

And for those people that will shout at me with the argument NOT EVERYONE HAS THESE KIND OF CONTROLLERS, or THE NINTENDO SWITCH LITE IS A DEDICATED HANDHELD AND THERE IS NO POINT ON USING A PLAYSTAND, GET A REGULAR SWITCH INSTEAD:

1. I’m really sorry for you

2. That is the way I avoid drift
Avoid drift by not using the controllers.

Fucking 3 million IQ here folks

I really hope you aren't being serious right now

One video says nothing, but it would be ridiculous if they didn't have the same design as the replacement joy cons

I don't think so? I thought it might just be something that happens if you stand still for a long time without touching the controller, but i just tried it and it doesnt seem to happen. Iv checked the settings too and I dont see anything either.
I remember when playing BotW at a friend's house in some areas the camera would automatically pan. Even it this wasn't the case, I still wouldn't trust a video without them showing themselves going into the calibration menu with the affected controller

Wow....dude I was just sharing the video with you so you could see. Sharing information isnt being passive/aggressive.

You said theres no way its the same or if it is they at least improved it, and thats not what that video suggests.

This quote, alone, shows you didn't even try and understand what I've written. Because yes, what I said isn't directly synonymous with what you've attempted to show me. What I'm talking about was "outside" of what you were trying to convey. Showing me that video of which I've already seen, isn't proving your point, nor is it arguing, with success, against what I've said, let alone acknowledging what I've stated. You're literally disregarding my words. Also? That was agsolutely passive aggressive. I'd appreciate you not do that.

Here is your quote....and Ive only read what Ive quoted.

Idk. I dont believe it. I think people are trying so hard to worry and believe that this issue exists on the switch lite, that they are convincing themselves it still exists. I think its been fixed. It'd be insane for it not to be. And if not "fixed", greatly reduced. Ive had 4 day 1 sets of joycons and none of them drift. So i think 1, its over exaggerated, in terms of its commonality, and 2, i feel people LOOK for things to complain about and try and FIND issues. Im sure its been fixed to a great degree

Also, Im not passive/aggressive Im aggressive/aggressive. Now suck my dick and fuck off......jesus fucking christ try to help someone and get bitched out.....
