The Switch is a cheap piece of shit that desperately needs a hardware revision
>b-b-but sony
I'll never forget when I was a kid trying to play GTA against my parents' will. I finally convinced my aunt to rent Vice City for me and the fucking disc wouldn't read. Honestly one of the most disappointing experiences in my life

Step 1. Buy cleaning alcohol
Step 2. Buy syringes from Hobby Lobby or any crafts/hobby store
Step 3. Fill syringe with rubber alcohol
Step 4. Lift the rubber sleeve on the joycon under the analog stick where the "ball" portion of the analog stick is exposed
Step 5. Apply the alcohol from the syringe directly into this section while the rubber sleeve is lifted
This fixes the joycon every single time without fail.
rubbing* not rubber
Another thing to note, is you only need a very liberal amount of rubbing/cleaning alcohol. I'm talking about a pinch, literally just a few drops is all that's needed.
Too much and you'll just get alcohol everywhere.
never had that happen
Guess I got lucky, my retail purchased PS2 (and subsequently messiah2 modchipped) still works fine today
I didn't use it all that much, about a handful of ps2 games I put serious time into
impeccable photoshop work buddy
My launch day joycons still work perfectly fine with no wear. Take care of your hardware you filthy gremlins and it will last.
>Too much and you'll just get alcohol everywhere.
which generally shouldn't be a problem as it evaporates quickly
Thank you.
the point is, it's not necessary. The gap between the joycon and the joystick is very small. The alcohol has to travel in between this to get to the contact point and clean it.
You're a legitimate moron.
>a very liberal amount
Do you even words?
Legit shill.
How many people actually tried re calibrating the stick instead of just complaining?
Multiple times. It has done nothing.
Recalibrating the stick doesn't get rid of the graphite particles caused by Nintendo's faulty design.
Here is a tip for your gets:
1-Take out the joycon from the Switch
2-Leave the Switch in tabletop mode
3-Go to the joycon menu
4-Press the button to make it rumble
5- Now spin the stick at a moderate speed for 1 minute
There, pay me in (you)s

I can't think of a company with a more cultish following than Nintendo.
easy.
Apple.
sounds pretty gay
God i fucking hate the switch and i wish it didn't have so many good games so i didn't have to play on that expensive piece of plastic crap
Yup, that's mine after 3 years of use
I couldn't play GTASA on mine, it always froze on the Rockstar logo
How?
I've purposely tried to break one before and that shit has shown no wear and tear.

I could go on but I think we’ve all seen enough to agree that owning a Nintendo Switch is undesirable.
The color degrades around the buttons.
>I can't think of a company with a more cultish following than Nintendo
Apple
Sony
Samsung
>around the buttons
Wash your greasy hands.
Degrades into what exactly?
Because the shell is the same color all the way through. Even if you were rubbing it down somehow it would still be bright red.
nice pasta
I've had my switch since day 1 and haven't experienced any drift
are you guys just gorillas who abuse their controllers?
Nah, drifting is a thing but it's not as common as modern Yas Forums would have you believe.
For some reason the only thing I could play after some time was Dark Cloud. Had to even put scotch tape on the disk to give it a but more weight.
Buy a used one for cheap then purchase the rest of the console in parts.
literally the worst fucking controller ever made
I already have one user, im mad because its a piece of shit but it has good games

>Joycons that came with my Switch on launch day have never drifted
>the X button stopped reacting to regular presses after 2 years
Lesson learned: treat every part of the Joycons like the cheap Chink pieces of shit they are, not just the sticks
I'm part of the silly group that bought a switch lite.
Anyone have drift with their lite? So far mine is fine, but I fear a looming possibility of the drift.
i just sent my left joycon to nintendo and got it back yesterday
it seems fine so far, but im a bit worried since it still like, slips off the console for some reason without me having to press the button at the back

What are you goblins doing with your machinery that it breaks so easily?

WHY ARE CONTROLLERS TODAY SO FUCKING BAD? AND ITS NOT JUST FUCKING JOYCONS. I STILL USE THE XBOX 360 CONTROLLER I GOT WITH MY FUCKING OG XBOX 360 FOR SOME COMPUTER GAMES AND THE ONLY THING THAT HAS WORN DOWN ON IT IS THE THUMB PADS??!?!
I remember getting a fat model for Christmas in its launch year, my dad had to send that shit back like 3 times because it refused to read any of those fucking blue discs
>mods you and loads every game off of HDD
*drifts in $60 plus tip*
mine still works
my pro controller start drifting after about 7 hours of use
No idea what you’re talking about. Me and my brother had PS2s and they still work to this day. And why are you bringing up an old console when the thread was about the switch.
those are $70
Just fucking went through this because of Smash, my right stick got totally fucked. I bought a new one because Nintendo wanted 45 bucks for repair, for more than half the price of a new one it wasn't worth the wait. Don't even want to use the new controller because its death is also inevitable.
Joycons were the first thing I've ever bought an optional warranty for because my first pair got the drift so bad for no reason.
Thank god I got the wired one for $20 instead of the wireless. Shit started drifting after 2 months
