1 year+, my left joycon recently shows symptons of drifting. How do you guys solve the drifting problem? Frankly, i seldom use the joycon as i always play with Pro and other controllers at home. Joycon only used when outside.

i'm not sure what caused the drifting, i dont think its because of the dust buildup coz when i disect the thumbstick there are no build up of dust or anything, im suspecting the metal inside that handle the direction input is bend or the film itself is broken, the only way is to replace the whole thumstick for my case.

and no, the moment you open this, you cannot assemble it back.
Thanks for the warning!

I read something yesterday and tried it this morning.

Previously, it was drifting down. So i recalibrate the motion control as per the post i read, seems like now doesn't drift down...but drift up! doh.gif

I was in a hurry this morning, will do further test tonight.

Joycon still drifting a bit...after recalibrate the motion control and joystick. I guess it's just bad quality and will happened over time, since it's not caused by dust or anything...

If base on hours of game play shows on switch, my left joycon stick clocks more than 200 hours of play. So I wouldn't say the quality is bad. Just wear and tear. But the stick feel fragile compared to my vita. As for pro controller, I just start using. For it steep price compared to ps and one controller.

My joycons are hardly used. Usually only use the Pro Controllers or other controllers (using Mayflash/8bitdo adapter)....and it still drift.

What is your problem? If its drifting, just buy a bottle of WD40 Dry contact cleaner for RM 2x. Fixed mine easily. Just two sprays and it's like new.
