So, it seems like even the Switch Lite is experiencing joy-con drift. Are there any Switch owners on here who have experienced it too? Thoughts?

Was just talking with my boyfriend about this and boom, relevant thread ahoy. With my original pair of joy cons, I don't recall having this issue at all. Since I got a different pair (for the colors because hell yeah colors), I've recently started having small drifting with the left controller. It isn't game breaking, but the fact that it is there at all that worries me. Isn't Nintendo doing free repairs on these if we send them in with this issue?

I have two sets of JoyCons and a ProController. One set is having the problem, so much so that I bought the second set. It was game breaking for me. I had the first set repaired twice under the warranty. It's frustrating because I take pretty damn good care of my hardware. I'm the only one who plays my system, and when it's not in use, it's in a case. I play almost exclusively RPGs, no Smash or Mario Cart. Nintendo is doing free repairs from what I've heard, but that's after the class action was filed, and it hasn't been broadly announced by the company itself.  Additionally Switch Lites are already having drift issues, which means your entire console is out of commission while your controller is being repaired. Not cool.

I did get some joy con drift in the left blue controller that came with my Switch on Launch Day back in March 2017

and my Red Right Joy Con that came with it, well it works properly but it doesn't lock into the system. Meaning it's easy for it to easily slide out of my system when it's only supposed to do that when I press the release button on back.

But the Neon Pink (L) and Neon Green (R) Joy Cons I bought months ago work great with no problems

Wonder how they're fixing that if they're not just sending a new controller back. Would be interesting to know what causes this to happen.

I've had a few issues with this with the left Joy Con -- the blue one. It's only an issue which I've encountered recently.

Try lifting the rubber in the stick and blowing a bit, sometimes is because dust or tiny particles, got problem frequently (annoying in monster hunter because its the one that controls the camera). I dont have any issues for the moment. I just have one pair of joy cons, planning on get a pro controller because my right joycon reboot whenever it wants
