Re: Switch Lite Teardown Suggests It Has The Same Drift-Prone Analogue Sticks As Standard Model

Jimez

I have heard of issues arising from the Pro Controller, but it's not anywhere near as bad as the drifting from the Joycons. I keep my Pro at home, never leaves the house. Have had it for over a year (bought it pre-loved), and no issues as of yet. I guess if it starts doing the drifting, i'll either buy a new official Pro or one of the many 3rd party ones available if they are of better build quality.

Met Bowden a few times, always nice and had the time to say hello. He popped along to a few "then" Streetpass South Wales, now Nintendo South Wales events over the past couple of years. Always a gentleman to say the least.

I wish him luck at Rare as the new social media chap, i don't think his hat made the transfer though.

Re: Guide: How To Fix A Drifting Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Analogue Stick

Bought a 2nd set the other day and a can of compressed air, just so i can get the current pair working again. Probably will take a trip to B&Q to get a small screwdriver set, and have one of the specialist screwdrivers on order from Amazon so i can open up the Joycon.

It's stupid that the Joycons can be defeated by dust, and that a replacement set costs as much as it does to fix them.
