Hello,

I have my switch since about a year and the joycons have never performed really well while on "TV" mode. It was fine for me as I was travelling a lot and has scant access to a TV set . But now I'm back home and have a TC but I can't really play if I'm more than 1 meter from the dock. Both joycons will loose signal with the switch, and I tried with different TV sets, and in different houses (away from routers and other possible sources of interference) . I even tried to take the joycons off the switch and play several meters (around 3 I think) from the small screen and it works fine. But as soon as the switch is docked, I have to be really close to it. Does anyone else have the same problem?
My switch is working with the last firmware version, the joycons are updated as well, and I tried several time the calibration thing.

I tried to ask the seller of the switch, and he wants me to send it back, but I will loose all my games data, as it's not transferable to the SD card.... Or is it? :unsure:

Thanks to anyone that can help me with any of these questions! :)

After reading some topics on the same subject, it seems it might be some kind of "joycon drift" related problem, but I don't have any "ghost motions"... it is really strange

Thanks so much for your reply! So now I know it just comes from the controllers and can just send them back to Nintendo before my warranty is over (in 2 weeks!) I'll just have to buy a pro controller in the meantime -_-'
