Hardware POLL: How bad is your joycon drift

[Deleted member 546149]

From a scale from ok to fail how bad is it.

Well mine is a brand new joystick. As far as my pc game joystick is concerned.

I meant the switch controller, joycons

 

[ut2k4master]

Oh that's gotta hurt

On mine, I've messed with neutral zone using the software joy con tool kit. They're ok now. The problem now is the r button. Look like a cheap made controller, and in fact it is.

 

[Julie_Pilgrim]

I literally can not use my switch

 

[djpannda]

its been over 4 years. to be switch owner you should need to be able to change the thumbsticks within 5 mins.. lol
I have fixed a ton of joy cons, some with horrible drift and with $6 its brand new.

my og drifted alot wd 40 fixed it
currently i bought a a new blue left joycon and im treting it the best

I am up to my 5th drift.
2nd drift was repaired by Nintendo, and it failed again and even worse the 3rd time, to the point where the drift was so bad that the Switch was recognizing the input and the complete opposite direction that I was registering.
After both my joycons came back from the 2nd drift, I've been repairing them myself.

Fuck Nintendo to the whole extend of the word.

I personally have been used my joycons for full movement games and rough ones like smash bros and haven't noticed any drift ATM

I meam the problem is real and even nintendo knows about it but dunno if it's something related on how people play or something

I mean remember the broke 3ds sticks for smash 4,i never broke my stick while playing that game even on for glory or stuff like that and considering the gamer rage or stuff like that maybe it's something who increases the probability of drift

But yeah a new ones out of the box and no drift after a year

Model 1.0 btw

I have the OG switch from 2017 & the lite. The original is fine though I don't play it much. The lite version has a slight click to the right joycon but doesn't affect gameplay

 

[Meliodas2255]

It's been bad, I have 4 of them. I have kids that play with them. What i have learned is that even if you replaced the stick, the drift will come back. is not as bad, but fps games are bad when you are trying to scope them.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Got mine at launch and don't have any drifting yet. But I noticed a minor issue with the left stick where it wouldn't register a full press immediately, or reliably, so I sprayed some IPA in there and haven't had issues since. Once issues like that start to crop up I'm sure it won't be long before I start getting drifting though. When that happens I'll just buy some replacement sticks in bulk. I prefer using my Pro Controller anyway so I only use the JoyCons when handheld.
Everyone I know suffers from drifting but they play their Switch a lot more than I do. And they're probably less gentle with it, despite insisting they are careful, I'm always gentle with my stuff. But it happens to everyone eventually, no matter how careful they are.

Today of all days this appears lol let me explain. One of my left Joy-Con developed drift so I decided to buy a replacement analogue stick for it. Today it arrived and I started to open up the Joy-Con. Screw one comes out just fine. Same for the second. The bloody third has striped itself and same for the fourth. So now not only do I have Joy-Con Drift I have two bloody striped screws stopping me from fixing the stupid thing.

 

[DKB]

it plays then whole game for me it puts in so much inputs

Being serious though, I don't really see/have it on my joycons.

 

[Meliodas2255]

i have dealt with it by not dealing with it. lol I reemplaced them with vianty replacement joy sticks. and calibrated them. months later it cameback again.it will comeback On my hacked switch I used mission control to link my bluetooth controller. and on the nonhack version I use either a pro controller or an 8-bitdo adapter and hook up my xbox one controller.

 

[BigOnYa]

This worked for me! No more drift....

 

[burhansalih]

had mine repaired twice always seems to be the left controller too

 

[Bagel Le Stinky]

So bad that I need new joycons to use my switch
