Yesterday, as you probably already know, Nintendo rolled out a new system update for the Switch. Version 10.1.0 is one of the smaller updates in recent months and sees the return of sweet stability improvements.

It's not just the system itself that's been updated, though. It turns out there's also a new update available for the Joy-Con controllers. Nintendo hasn't shared any information about what changes or adjustments have been made to the controllers, so you'll just to investigate this yourself.

Here's how you can perform this update:
