I've actually seen a lot of sites report that.

Really insane suggestions from Nintendo in any case.

I have experienced none of these issues myself, and a launch i always expect some glitches. But if this is as widespread as it seems to be, this is a major screw up and embarrassment for Nintendo, and they are going to have to compensate each and every switch owner who is experiencing issues. What about those who aren't experiencing any issues at the moment but may later on bc the hardware may be flawed? This is a total mess. Nintendo needs to acknowledge and fix this instead of telling people where not to use it. Literally every single one of those things on the list is almost impossible to avoid - minus the aquarium. Royal screw up if true

the problem with the controller / wireless is two fold. one being the placement of the module in the switch inside the metal shielding as opposed to just outside like many other devices that use an embedded controller for these things. The metal shielding cuts down on the effective signal strength of the wifi as well as the controllers.

The second one being the antenna in the controller itself and how its positioned. We can deduce that adjusting the piece in the controller helps but it can also be assumed that a small piece of shielding cut from above where the wireless module is would result in better signal reception as well.

Damn this sucks that they didnt think to do either of these things before mass production.

Mine was fine until I put them behind my back, instantly the left joycon did it just like everyone stated, not that I'm going to play with them behind my back, it's definitely a negative though as this doesn't happen to any other game pad I've ever had.

@SoulMikeY Truer words have never been spoken.

When something is good for Nintendo they downplay it.. when something is bad they blow it up..
Truth is every hardware has issues at launch (they eventually get fixed with updates or in the case of hardware they replace them)..I remember people complaining about HDMI handshake issues with PS4 and the thumbsticks having cheap rubber that wears down easy... Xbox one having sync issues with the Controller... Now its Switch with the sync issues. Wireless is a very finicky thing.

5 disagrees in 10 hours. I think you should really shut up and stop overreacting. Nintendo have their share of 'haters' as well. Congratulations on owning all the consoles. You're one glorious man.

Agree there is too much hate, but some disagrees may be people like me who actually are experiencing these problems.

I traded my second set of joy cons in for a Pro Pad Friday evening because TV mode is unplayable in my obstruction-free living room. Yes, there are trolls eager to see things fail just because their Mom wouldn't buy them one. On the other hand, there are some of us that are dealing with a real problem and just want it fixed.
