Hardware My Switch has a Ghost glitch

[NGT]

Starting last week my switch started doing creepy things, I'd be playing a game and suddenly I would just go into the home menu, I didn't think anything of it at first but then more random button inputs happened, I rebooted my switch only to see it happen worse. Just random button inputs almost as if someone was controlling me, I went to setting turned on airplane mode and updated my controllers but the problem still occurred. What do I do? It doesn't happen that often or in Docked mode.

So...it happens when the controllers are *physically connected* instead of in *wireless mode*?

...that's weird.

Are there any other controllers connected? Try going to settings to disconnect them all, then re-pair the ones you use.


Or if there are joycons in your couch you may be sitting on them. I've sat on the TV remote many times like this...

I only have the joy cons that came with the switch and a pro controller but I was not near it, also It would happen when the controller was connected or wireless.

If you can pair the joycons to a computer, go use the toolkit on them and check them out.

Open up the "playground testing" and then look at what the joycons are reporting. If they're sending bogus stuff, then you should get new joycons.

otherwise, idfk.

Around 2% of Switches are haunted, you've got yourself a rarity.
