Yes, the cleaner does work, but it's only temporary like he said. If you use your switch a lot, you'll need to spray it more often. I just upgraded to those hall effect sticks and hoping I never have to worry about drift again. So far, so good.

Thank you for this video! Unfortunately my dad doesn't have any special WD-40 right now so I used Memorex AirDuster and it did the job! (I hope I don't get stick drift again.)

Air duster definitely worked on at least two joy-cons I wiggled the stick giving a few good blasts in all directions. One or two sticks refused to play ball though....

I upgraded my joycon to hal effect sticks. I will never go back. They are so worth the price.

I think I will! 🤔

My OG launch joycon eventually developed slight drift... this stuff always worked to fix it whenever they did. Eventually I did the Hall effect stick swap which fixed it. However I also got the Skyward Sword Joycon and later the OLED switch... Neither have ever drifted.

There are other methods which will fix it permanently. But you really have to open the controller.

ahhhh the wii u friends list song, brings back so many memories 😂😂😂

It worked! Thank you so much!

A year ?! That’s a good enough for me

The Hall effects should stop any mechanical failure but the design of those little Nintendo flaps still means something can make them sticky and needing a wash.

Ok probably no one will answer but for some reason my joycons have no drift and then when I connect them to my phone they just go on their own. Why is that?

Right now im only playing docked with a pro controller because of how bad the drift is so THANK YOU!! I finally can play undocked while traveling lol

I’ve had mine since the console first came out and they have recently been drifting. I’ll see if this will fix them

How did it go? I've been playing TOTK so much that I've started to get joystick drift, and I have a Switch Lite so I can't just buy new controllers 💀

I wish I could use the replace system but my joy cons are limited edition that came with a Mario Nintendo switch.

It sucks that joycons get drift to easy I personally have never gotten drift maybe I’m just lucky. But if you want a permanent fix but don’t want to replace the joysticks you can also use BW100 as it’s similar to special WD40 for electronic but it’s not conductive

wow, thank you so much, it works like a charm! i almost buy a new joycon LOL

THANKS worked instantly 😊

Also I heard if you have Nintendo repair your joycon they will most likely replace it, so anyone that has a special addition switch will get back regular gray joycons, so this is something you have to think about if you have special edition joycons.

Do the gulikit thumb sticks they worked on the sega genesis, which are magnetic, so they basically last forever

Had a slight issue with my Pro Controller after my nephew used it while eating Cheesies. I think when people Calibrate their controllers, they do it wrong. When pointing in the Four Directions, you gotta snap to the direction and let go immediately, the Four Directions should be done like a Speedrun. Then do the Circlular Rotations slow. I used to take my time on the Four Directions, trying to get the ball perfectly centered on each Directions line. Then I rushed it, and it calibrated perfectly. It was my right stick, on BOTW, Link would always slowly look to the Left, surveying the land for danger like he was Clint Eastwood. After I rushed the Four Directions, my controller was good as new

I just put mine in the donation bin and got some from eBay for 25$ I tried this. It worked for a little bit, but eventually it went back to drifting again.

I broke the plastic inside of my joystick for the l-r wiper, I took the joystick apart to see what went wrong after this didn’t work and prime 1 day shipping on some new sticks.

Cool but clean your Nails

My brothers switch controller had drift but after a couple of days it just magically went away it was weird

It's great, tank you

....just swap out the joysticks for hall effect sticks. Its $20 for a pair of left and right sticks, and is a 5 minute job per joystick. Hall effect sticks physically cannot drift due to using electromagnetic sensors

They'll repair them for free if they're inside the warranty. They made me pay to fix my drift on my Switch Lite that was a month outside the warranty.

I thought they didn’t repair the Switch lite?

I got my switch in 2018 and I got 2 pairs that drifted (the first one was a ground hit, the second one was… idk (also bought them cuz of the first pairs) (they are fixed now)) and I got 4 pairs of joy cons

Wiiu music to my ears

God, I miss Wii U. Wish Miiverse became a multi generational feature.

My sticks that came with my switch worked not even a year before drifting… The magnetic sticks however have lasted a looooooong time. I 100% say get the magnetic sticks if you ever are thinking of getting them

Or you could replace the joystick. For the people who that that it is too hard, it really isn't, you unplug around 2 cables, and it is better than spending more money on a matching set...

The best way to fix this is to buy new joycon pads online. I boght a set of with proper screw driver new latches and replacement screws online for less then $20 and actually replaceing them are super easy they just unplug. No sattering required and more then just a temporary fix.

What worked for me is opening it up and outting a 1mm thick piece of paper on the joystick

Thank you so very much 😊😅

Nasty fingers bro 🤢

Just replace it with the hall effect alternative. It really legit

All my joycons have had drift literally since day 1, so no I can’t be assed to use the “free” Nintendo repair I’ll just deal with it, and buy other accessories with Hall effect instead

So im not the only one who did this? Its permanently fixed mine lol

Sweet thanks!!

If it don't work just replace the analog by yourself, it only takes like 20 minutes and the replacement is only $5.

I used hand sanitizer and a covid q-tip

my switch’s joycons are gonna be a year old on Christmas and are yet to have drift :) they aren’t the og pair tho

PUT A CREDIT CARD THICK CARTBOARD PIECE UNDER THE OUTSIDE OF THE JOYSTICK JUST REMOVE THE 4 SCREWS PUT IT UNDER THE METAL PART

I got my switch on April 2020 I think and I didn't get any stick drift so far although my left joycon stopped connecting with anything and I couldn't fix it so I had to get a new one

I have that gulikit joystick kit and they use the Hall effect so they shouldn't be able to have drift

Glad to say I had the same Joycons for over a year and a half and they don't have drift! But it came at a cost of dropping it several times to the point where the left joy con is on life support (detached several times, tried to repair myself, and now SL, SR, L, and L stick click isn't working) and my right joycon slides out easily (and R button doesn't work)

I’ve got a problem where you can’t press down on the left twisty thing meaning I can’t crouch, do you maybe know how to fix that?

How many times do you spin the analog stick?

Okay my question is .. in Canada is there a drift fix from Nintendo for the switch lite. Mine is SO bad

Does apecialis work too? Its the same thing like the contact cleaner but it says specialist and has a yellow top

I’m trying to playing super smash bros but when I move left the character moves fast but when I toggle it to the right they move slow and not fast at all. Should I send it in for repair? I literally just got it a month ago 😔

I had a switch lite 2021 antalog would not press down. I got an oled in 2023 i got wiggly joycons but fixed it. Never got drift but my left joycon is a bit squeaky hope i wont need new joycons. And find a fix soon

What helps with mine is u take a toothpick pull up the flaps underneath the thumb stick and in your other hand u take a straw and blow into that area under the thumb stick Edit: this method give u about 2 hours without stick drift lol

I tried this with a cheaper version which is half the price of wd and it worked. Then when I went to a different store I found another one in a different brand with a much lower price. It was really disappointing 😂 hahaha but atleast I fixed it.

No wonder your joycon drifts, I mean look at the dirt on your nails like wtf

Hi were can I get this in Ireland or is it a us only

This is a temporary fix. The only way to fix joycon drift is to replace the joy con. It’s not hard. And there are some good ones out there.

Can this work for switch lite?, the system i have.

GameCube Controller are allowed or not!

Does it also work for Lite?

I update my controler and calibrate it

What about switch lite ?

They are no drift , they are the magnetic type

Can i do this on my lite?

I used regular wd40 and worked great !!!!!!

Wii U Pad, Switch. Doesn't matter. I'll almost never use them as handhelds (I love pro controllers). GBC to 3DS are the only game systems I own that I truly call handhelds.

I DONT HAVE THAT

Just send them to Nintendo (Edit i know he said about sending them but still it will last longer)

Best thing to fix it is gulikit joystick

Nah just go with isopropyl alcohol 70% it'll give your joycon a second wind

Wait, Nintendo will fix/ repair your controllers free? Ain’t no way… I’m sure most switch owners are out of warranty and they’ll happily say, thank you for wasting your time and money but we’ll fix it for $XX. As you mentioned in the video I can’t see this lasting super long, but if you can get by and make the controller work normally for another few months till it either stops working properly permanently or it stops working altogether seems to me like it’s a great deal. Can of contact cleaner costs a lot less that a new joy con or pair of them. I bought a used joy con a while back at game-stop(shoulda returned it while I could, but whatever now I have an extra, long story…it wasn’t even cleaned when I bought it -still dirty IN-BAG, had to clean it myself before use) and it cost me $35. A pair is around double that new. Contact cleaner is around $10-15 a can and u can use it on all your controllers and your friends and family’s and anything else that needs cleaned.
