I lost four sets of Joycon to drift. I even sent two in to be "repaired". Talking to support was worthless - I'm convinced that the people I spoke to had never seen or used a Switch before. I don't think they did anything other than calibrate them and send them back. I ended up buying a 20 pair of knockoff Joycon that have worked perfectly ever since.
repairing joycon drift is super easy. ifixit.com and the joystick modules are 5 bucks on amazon. People need to lose this fear over opening and repairing their own electronics.
Why, though? Let them fix it, if they're selling broken. Especially here in Europe they have to fix it within a mandatory 2-year warranty.
Cause i'm never gonna let them fix it themselves after they lost one of my ($40) joycons then threw their hands up and said it was my fault. Plus it takes them 3 weeks to do it anyway which is a long time without the games console I paid for
It's 3 year in Spain, since Jan 2022 (just adding info).
A bunch of controllers have extremely obnoxious security bits required. I had to get two separate bit sets to open a bunch of controllers.
what brand?
My old Amazon order says Vivefox, but they don't seem to be for sale anymore. I'm pretty sure at the time there were a bunch of companies offering the same ones, like a Chinese dropship kind of thing.
