Topic: Joy Con buttons out of order

I probably had my Switch for about a month now and have periodically experienced joy con control issues in when playing Mario Kart 8. My guess is that the game thinks I am using the the the job cons as a pair. So when I normally push down to navigate through the menu, it does a side ways move. We always play Mario kart with multiple players, so we only use 1 joy con per player, but the controller gets all wonky. Normally a reboot of the console will fix this but its annoying. Anyone else run into this and have a better solution?

@jastran00 I had that situation this winter. To solve it, I pressed the Switch Home button, open the controller settings icon, then select "Change grip/order", and sync the half joycons there. You'll see the half joycon contoller icons appear. Then go back into the game.

(slightly different approach) If you've already got the game open, you can press that tiny button to un-sync the controllers, then resync them by pressing the L & R buttons on the half joycons. If this step fails, then go to the Switch home screen controller settings.
