"my switch my switch my switch my switch" ......yeah we get it, YOUR switch is fine. I guess everyone with this issue is a lair.

I hate it when these white knight Nintendo fanboys crawl out to defend legit issues and complain about those who experience legit issues regarding their joycons that is widespread. I don't care how old your Switch is and this has nothing to do with the Dualshock. I had my system less for time than yours and got the same left stick drifting issue, like so many others have.

I bought a replacement kit from Amazon and fixed it, but never needed to vent online....until today because you claim I and others probably don't even own one. Basically, just be quiet, there is no problem whatsoever,

"Then you get everyone else coming out of the woodwork claiming their Switches don't work when they don't even own one."

So by your logic more than half of the Switch users needs to have these issues before you recognise that it is a problem. I doubt even if Nintendo acknowledges it you 'll fail to agree. If even 3% of owners are getting the issue it is a problem. Roughly 34million Switches have been sold that would account for a sizeable amount for concern.

I've only had my Switch for a yr and a half, barely play it and already my left joy-con has drift and both joy cons keep making the clicking on/off sound when they are connected to the sides of the Switch, as if they are connecting and then disconnecting constantly. I think this is complete and utter bullsh1t and makes the systems build quality seem cheap! No controllers that are only a yr and half old with light use be already showing so much signs of wear. The only other controller I've ever had drift on was my Xbox 360's but that was after 5 plus yrs of heavy use. My DS4's and Xbox controllers are from 2013 and 2015 and still kicking strong. Shame on you Nintendo and your cheap a$$ quality and shame on the fanboys that try and defend this sh1t.

Mine hasn't yet but I rarely use it. The design flaw much like RROD will affect all of them at some point. Not a matter of if but when.

I've had mine for little over a year, and haven't had any problems. Play it quite a bit too.

Mine Drifts, but it's not bad as of now. It's rare that it does it. For me, it's usually when I'm playing like Mario O or Zelda it happened. I've had my switch since May of the year it released. I don't play it alot though. Also my drift isn't something that keeps going just a once in a while thing where I guess the con isn't getting the position right on the release? WHo knows. But it definitely happened a few times and I barely play mine. I play it so little that I bought Mario Maker 2 and still haven't played it at all lol. Yet I have the issue. Don't think it's extreme but it's something to acknowledge. My biggest issues that no one ever admits to the issues with Nintendo products until someone or a site makes it into a issue while they'll run with anything MS or especially Sony related. Like I last had the drift happen like half a year ago as I haven't touched my switch since like Jan outside putting MM2 in and putting it down

Except the right trigger sensitivity on ps4 can be easily fixed. There are hundreds of vids on youtube to fix that. It's a mechanical issue.
Joycon drift on the other hand is mostly an electronic issue and very hard if not impossible to fix. Most of the time the analog stick are damaged or the Bluetooth sensors are faulty.
I'm on my second Joycon pair already.

That whole last paragraph of yours is essentially trying multiple ways to reason why it's not a problem.

YMMV assumes it's an opinion, as that's how it is utilized. But when a higher than 2% fail rate occurs, that is problematic for any electronic device. That's not a YMMV, that's a flaw.

You then reference an exaggeration of "people make it seem like everyone experiences problems". You leave people unquantified, but that's its point. But it tends to be taken in context as 'most' or the 'majority' when used without a quantifier (some, those, people who tapdance, etc.). It's intended to make people the issue here, and not the issue itself, of which those people are experiencing. It's pushing the issue onto people.

Then, you just relate the issues to the fact that people complain only when there are issues and don't praise there being no issues. That's just lazy and we can say this about anything. "You only hear about the car crashes, not when there aren't car crashes." This goes against the whole concept of the complaint itself, which is to be informative to the consumer. If there were no complaints about the joycons, then the reasoning would be that there are no issues with them, not that people just aren't talking about how good they are and therefore they must not be good. Functioning is good, but problems are bad.

Normally I'd agree with neon but yeah....I'm on my 3rd set of joy-cons and I'm already experiencing the issue on the newest set I bought just over a month ago. I have recalibrate every 15-20 minutes.

That’s this site all over mate full of trolls and haters.
