Re: "No Widespread Technical Problems" With Switch Joy-Cons, Claims Nintendo

@PlywoodStick you can't replace the antenna in the left joycon as It's embedded into the circuit board. The only thing we can do is solder a a small wire to it and run it away from the metal piece which is what I did and it quadrupled the range. Funny thing is the right Jocon has an antenna... gotta love Nintendo, I know they knew this was going to be a problem yet they are so arrogant they refuse to change or admit wrong doing.

@Destron I think it has to do more with environment. Height of the switch and small open room bouncing the signal more. I truly believe this isn't an isolated issue with defective joycons and instead a flaw in the controller. I guarantee in a few months someone will open a new model and there will be an antenna on the opposite side of the joycon away from the giant metal plate.

@KirbyTheVampire it's a problem with the design and is fixed with a simple wire fix. That alone says it's a design flaw. You may not be having issues because of where you have your Switch. I have mine in a confined shelf behind a glass door. I also have my ps4 and xb1 behind those same style doors with ZERO issues. After soldering a 2" wire to my 2 left joycons I have ZERO issue with my Switch now and it asct just as my PS4 and XB! controllers. This cant be fixed with a firmware update and they will be having a major issue with this.
