They're only fixing drift. I've had issues with the locks shearing off and not holding the cons onto the switch and other people in this thread have had issues such as buttons not working and poor connection.
Left analog drift on left joycon and Pro controller, both bought launch day.
Waiting for Nintendo repairs to re-open so I can send them both in for repair, I can repair it myself but since Nintendo if offering free repairs for drift issues I may was well send it to them.
I still have purchase receipt.
If you have purchase receipt I believe Nintendo of America/Canada is offering free analog drift repairs regardless if it's out of warranty.
I can't speak for Europe though.

Both my controls sticks drift in DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. The shoulder buttons, especially ZR, doesn't feel as good as it used to, though that is to be expected. I can't really send them to repair from where I live, so I've been digging up my 3ds, though the A button on that is showing some wear too

It's still in lockdown anyways, though given how there isn't as big of a gaming community, I'd say it be slow even if they open
Nope. At least, not the set I got with my Switch. I had to send them into Nintendo about a year into owning the console. So far, they've been okay, but have had occasional bouts of drift about a year after sending them in.
I’ve got four pairs of Joycons. None of them have ever drifted, though I do have this weird syncing issue with one of them. When the Switch is docked, it keeps desyncing from the right Joycon, even when it’s about a foot away from the system.
Had drift on the left one (ended up fixing it myself), and I think the Y button gets stuck sometimes on the right one, but it might have been a bit of something that impeded the button movement as it was clicky. My daughter is the one who mostly plays it and doesn't report any problem, so it possibly went away on it's own.

That sounds similar the issue I have. What ‘solved’ it for me is not holding the two Joy-Cons too close together (around 60-70 cm, the distance of your chair's arm-rests should be fine).
Mine still work after 2 years, I only use when I play in handheld mode.
In dock mode I use my Pro or SF30Pro controllers

Positive. I own 2 (bought 1 in 2019, the other 1 was bought a few months ago) Switches, both of their joycons are still working just fine.
That said, I am using the pro controllers most of the time. So that helps.

I've had mine since launch day (the grey ones), and they still work fine. It did have drifting issues which I send for repairs to Nintendo for free last year, and so far no issues.
Mine still working. I got scared when I accidentally squashed it while playing ring fit. Thankfully no damage

Usually when such a big title leaks the Temp will be the first to report about it (going off of historical reports here, Pokemon SV being the latest one I can recall seeing pop up here) -

I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.

I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.

@BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
