Hello,
First sorry for making thread about something that was talked a lot, I just don't want go blindly with google results at this point due reason I don't trust my hand work 100%.
So I have Joy-Con Drift at Right Joy-Con and for around last half year it happens constant like breathing for living creatures. So I wanna know any safe and easy Joy-Con Drift fixes that I could do without fear of messing up? There is some Joy-Con Drift for Left Joy-Con, but is too extremely rare, so it's good for me.
Thank you in advance for answers!

@SViper ninetndolife<3 has a guide. Where've you been?

After the analog stick has degraded, easy fixes are temporary, or ineffective. Replacing the analog stick is the only real fix. If you don't want to do it, Nintendo can replace them for you. I'm guessing Nintendo EU is who you'd deal with? Or buy new ones.

Someone here in the past month said that Nintendo of America just sent him new joycons. Maybe it was Bimmy-lee? Can't recall how to spell their user name exactly.

@WoomyNNYes thank you, I guess I will need buy new ones then, because there is no Nintendo in Lithuania, so sending them will be as expensive as buy new ones. And I will check that guide as well.

@SViper Buy some electrical contact cleaner in a spray can. One teeny squirt under the skirt of the thumbstick and mine went from constant drifting to no drifting.

It may be a temporary fix, but I did mine months ago now I think and so far not a sniff of any drift. The can of spray cost me about £2.50.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

@SViper You just need to know with all the fixes people give you, there only going to stay for so long, Your going to have to get knew joy cons. Oh wait, maybe if you want to, you can buy the split pad pro, I heard it has no drift cuz its like a pro controller of the switch idk.

@gcunit thank you, I will consider.
@Snatcher yeah, I probably go for those, but do those have HD Rumble and such a, to play Motion and HD Rumble games?
Plus at February I bought nice PDP Pro Controller, so.

I thought you can turn rumble off? Maybe not.

Why not try to replace it yourself first and then if you completely mess it up, just buy a new one? I had a drift a long time ago and fixed it using some type of joycon stick replacement kit, which costed me around 10 bucks, as opposed to the 70 dollars you pay for a new joycon. There's some youtube videos on taking a joycon apart and putting it back together as well. If you have steady hands, you should totally make an attempt.
