THANK YOU my drift has been absolutely abysmal its made playing literally impossible but now i can go back to hyperfixating on botw

I was told fixing Joy-Con drift on Switch Lite is impossible but luckily you showed how it can be done, like how you proved Trap Team can be played just by having so many Food Fights.

Joy con drift is a serious problem for all switch gamers. But if it happens on a switch lite this video can help fix it

how did it go?

My switch lite got a similar issue to yours, this time the up and down of the left stick is like sticky or something in 2D games it works fine but in 3D games is annoying, my character either wont go forward or back or just stop halfway :( I wanna repair it by myself but I remember when I broke my PSP while trying to replace the joystick. How much do you think this would repair cost? Or how much would you charge to repair this? Thanks and nice vid btw!

I'm not a professional so I wouldn't want to be in charge of repairing other people's systems. If you have a repair store near you they should be able to assist you.

I never really come across joycon drifting on my switch lite but on my normal smash bros switch I definitely have it annoys me very Easily

I also bought my switch in 2019 then it broke and i got a new one and the new one got drift ty.

When I got my lite a friend wanted to take a look, first thing he did was spin the 2 sticks as hard and as fast as he could like he was playing Mario party to save his life. Really fucked me off.

Did it work? I am very interested, because I fear my Switch Lite will need a new Joycon in a short time too.

I bought my switch lite in june 2022 and once i learned about joycon drift i was so scared of using my switch lite but i think if i get joycon drift ill buy a normal switch and transfer my data from my switch lite to my new one if i get joy con drift but i am a casual games i play on my switch for 1-2 hours a day so i dont think i need to worry that much

Hey Mikeinoid, I know that you haven't talked about it since but, do you still have Doom Stone, Rubble Rouser, Spy Rise & Magna Charge? If you do, I wanna combine Tech & Earth together but, Idk who to combine. (Spy Stone, Spy Rouser, Doom Charge, or Doom Rise?)

Yikes! I have my Switch Lite since June 2022 and after watching this now I feel very cautious about it

I did a joystick swap 3 times on my switch and it still has bad drift and directions won't work. I bought cheap replacements and expensive replacements and nothing fixed it. I even did a full system reset and calibration..... still garbage.

Quality test? You are too optimistic bro. The type of joysticks in the joycons have existed for decades, it’s a mystery to literally no one that they drift after a while. Nintendo would have known this was going to be a massive issue with 0 testing. They would have known the same way PlayStation and Xbox know about it. They just don’t care, they don’t care that it’s a massive issue. They continue to use this stick design because they are cheap. Any day they could change this and swap it for a different joystick design. They got sued and didn’t change it. They don’t care. The dollar they save per module is to tempting for them.
