True but the thing is though a lot of people are say that Nintendo joycons potentiometer break more easily than normal me personally idk I don't own either device.
@@Zach.O Oh God, I need to do a "Well Actually". Sorry. It is dust, but not in the way you might think. Because of the way the joysticks are affixed, there is a lot of plastic rubbing against plastic. This friction causes plastic dust particles to fall down into the potentiometers which interferes with their function. So, it is dust. It's just not dust that's a result of mishandling.
I totally agree. Everyone who’s complaining about joy con drift are the people who literally abuse their controls. For example, playing competitive Super Smash Bros or Splatoon 3, and not being careful can damage the controls over time. It’ll still work if your gentle. I’m glad that I’m not the only one. I just hate that the Lite gets so much bad rap. If you take care of the console, it’ll last…
I've had drift from time to time, but when that occurs I pull out some WD-40 Electric Contact Cleaner, spray a small amount on the joysticks, and rotate in circles ~10x each. Use a toothbrush if need to get even deeper. I've also used 91% isopropyl alcohol in the past, but I recommend the WD-40 Contact Cleaner more because it is more lubricated vs isopropyl that can dry out some joysticks (I'm talking about you, Gamesir X2 Bluetooth). I think a large amount of users with joycon drift just have dirt/dust in their joycon and can fix them if they are cleaned properly. I would always try this before shelling out more $$$.
@@adrainwright1778 There are issues with the joystick drift though. I had a cousin with a switch and she would get HORRID drifting on her right stick. She only played games like pokemon and Minecraft though. So while you may have had a good experience, many people did not despite being careful.
Yea idk I think it just comes down to how you play and how take care of them. Granted there is a definite issue with the joy stick technology. The metal contacts inside that interpret movement in the X and Y direction wear off from friction over time. Eventually leading to inaccurate movements and the drift people experience. With how people take care of controllers: I’ve seen my buddies old nunchucks from his Wii and Xbox controllers through the years, where the sticks are all messed up. I still can’t figure out how he even destroyed the rubber on them. It’s as if be bit chunks out of them lol. On the other hand my controllers have minor wear and still work great. (Same with my joycons. No drift at all since 2019) I used the original Xbox One controller until recently cause the left stick developed drift (think this was from all the first person shooters I played back then. Mashing down the left stick for sprint). Still use it on my Xbox from 2017 but I felt like I wanted an upgrade while on PC. The drift was seriously messing me up in Rocket League. Sorry for the essay lol
I think it depends on the quality of product. Cause I’m a one controller buying kind of guy. And I don’t have friends or family to play with. Maybe my gf on the occasion. But no real need. So I do EVERYTHING to keep my controller from falling apart. We’ll long story, short. My DualShock 4 controllers got drift issues twice. Two separate controllers. And my OG blue joy cons eventually started to drift. And I don’t even touch mine after eating. Nothing crazy like that. So I think my D4 controllers were just manufactured wrong, and my blue joy-cons got dust in them? Idk. These things just happened one day.
I never had problems with any analog sticks in any of the controllers i ever had since the ps1. But what i did notice when i’m playing with friends is that some of them are less careful with controllers, they use way too much force when moving analog sticks, i could even hear the sticks hitting the “walls” around them. I think how intense you are when you are playing games play a huge factor in how long the controllers last
you either played very little over those 3 years or play games that mainly use the D-Pad. The joycons are criminally low quality and the internal design of the joystick and shoulder buttons should never have passed the drawing board.

I stopped a ps3 analog drift with a ton of alcohol spraying, vacuum or blowing like a cartridge. Maybe it will work with switch too though I lucked out.
It’s funny though that these don’t even work that well, if you look at the actual reason behind joycon drift you’ll see it’s a bigger issue than dust and debris getting in there, the only thing that is kind of a preventative measure is them locking the joysticks in place since that kinda prevents it but if you’re using them regularly it’s just a waste of money

On Switch, you plug in the game, turn it on, and start playing games flawlessly. On steam deck, you have to configure EmuDeck, hack your switch and dump several specific files (or pirate them online), dump / pirate the games, update files, and DLC, add them to the specific folder(s), then make sure they're added to Steam so you don't have to go to desktop mode to play them, THEN you can open them and spend an hour getting the controls configured *just* right, all to play the same games with no online, no local wireless, local multiplayer that's a hassle to set up, intermittent stutters and occasional crashes, all in a bigger, heavier, hotter package with a third of the battery life. I love just taking my Steam Deck places for all my games instead of a cavalcade of devices, but how many people out there do you think are willing to go through all that *just* for Switch games?
Yep! Also because I play Splatoon online and would rather play on official NSO where there are more players to compete against. Plus, a lot of the games I would play on a Steam Deck if I had one had already been ported to the Switch anyway.
The lack of knowledge in this entire comment section is incredible I just used the Yuzu AppImage and added it to Steam, 'pirated' my games, controller worked by just using the default binds, and I can play all of it online without paying for Switch online and I have access to my save files.

I'm not saying it's bad at all, once you get shaders cached games that happen to work usually run fine with occasional drops in my experience.

And I live in the European universe where there's tons of lobbies for Mario Kart and Animal Crossing within Yuzu and Ryujinx. The updates to async shaders have pretty much eradicated compilation lags If you don't have a Switch or Steam Deck it's hard to argue that the Switch is cheaper because it's so much more expensive in terms of software. The same game on Switch is usually more expensive than on PC and online doesn't cost money either Ultimately it's your decision what you do, I just don't want it to be based on bad information which this comment section is full off. I also never consider the people who 'want to play Switch-exclusive games and nothing else' the default, because that's a tiny niche and not regular people.

Not true at all. Steam will replace it during their warranty period, and I'd go as far as to say that they probably would even after the warranty as Steam support is known for having awesome customer service. Worst case scenario it should be pretty cheap if you needed to pay for it. Nobody in their right mind is going to pay for a whole new Steam Deck over joystick drift.
That's only for North America (as far as I can tell, certainly not where I live). Valve has been very generous in replacing Steam Decks if something does go wrong (even if it's not covered by warrenty). Also the Steam Deck is very user repairable, can't say the same for the Switch
@@Thornskade I haven’t gotten stick drift on my joycons since I sent them in for repair the first time, and I also got the OLED and those controllers haven’t gotten drift at all
We have game software we want to play, so we buy a console unit that can play it. So a steam deck cannot replace a switch. The reverse is also true. This is the feeling of the average Japanese.
The PlayStation 2’s controllers were able to re-center themselves after you moved them around a bit. Sony solved this problem more than 20 years ago. To elaborate; I saw someone testing this on their computer too, like the stick’s input was showing slightly up on whatever program he used, and then he moved the sticks and they were re-centered.
@@PandaFan2443 Probably for this reason no one really cares about the music and if they do it looks like they still don't care enough to actually comment about it.
@@hue_marlon727 Nintendo gets flamed for it cause I could like buy two Xbox remotes for the cost of buying a pair of joy con. That and the drifting starts to happen fast as hell.
@@restinpussy7803 it's also because it's an issue that's never been rectified by Nintendo with drift being a way more common issue especially on the lite which if you got drift, sucks to suck, you're stuck with it.
So basically, everything that a Steam Deck is but without the better performance you deserve as a gamer who wishes Nintendo could have actually delivered on their promise of home console gaming on the go long enough to make an impact.
They've existed for years, they were likely just too expensive/too much hastle to produce that's why most controllers don't use them. Besides, companies don't really care if their controllers last ages it's just more money to them if they don't
I honestly don’t care about the steam deck. I don’t mind 30 fps 720p, as long as it’s a fun game. And plus, you can detach the joycons if you have a friend over and you have 5-10 minutes to kill.

@@armaan1457 if you mean stick drift then no, it hasn't. The software issue causing it to happen artificially was fixed but like every other joystick it will inevitably develop stick drift. Only difference is one that happens you have to send your entire console in to get it fixed

@@BlueMoon1890 I didn't say I didn't have to get keys, that's part of the 'pirate' thing, but no firmware though. And I live in the European universe where there's tons of lobbies for Mario Kart and Animal Crossing within Yuzu and Ryujinx. The updates to async shaders have pretty much eradicated compilation lags
If you don't have a Switch or Steam Deck it's hard to argue that the Switch is cheaper because it's so much more expensive in terms of software. The same game on Switch is usually more expensive than on PC and online doesn't cost money either
Ultimately it's your decision what you do, I just don't want it to be based on bad information which this comment section is full off.
I also never consider the people who 'want to play Switch-exclusive games and nothing else' the default, because that's a tiny niche and not regular people. Most people play a lot third-parties and indies and would likely be better off with the Deck
Yeah my Citra crashes too in Gaming mode Desktop mode everything game is perfect working how so????
People saying getting a steam deck is a solution are dumb. Not only is it expensive, but the sticks probably can drift as well, and you'd have to emulate the switch games (the last time I saw anyone try to emulate switch games, it didn't work properly)

Now all we need is for Sony to revive the PS Vita and things will really heat up.
Lmao with half with the power of Steam deck? It will flop just like the Vita did at launch.
Just get joy-cons like the Hori split pads. Way less expensive, feel much better, and don't have drift. But only get them if you're willing to sacrifice things like rumble and no custom button mappings.

In the settings you can recalibrate the joy sticks
I’ve owned a switch since launch and still have never experienced drift once.
lucky
same.
If you get a steam deck and then get drift, that’s gonna be $500 opposed to Nintendo fixing joy cons for free
Sd comes with a warrenty so it's also free
Not true at all. Steam will replace it during their warranty period, and I'd go as far as to say that they probably would even after the warranty as Steam support is known for having awesome customer service. Worst case scenario it should be pretty cheap if you needed to pay for it. Nobody in their right mind is going to pay for a whole new Steam Deck over joystick drift.
That's only for North America (as far as I can tell, certainly not where I live). Valve has been very generous in replacing Steam Decks if something does go wrong (even if it's not covered by warrenty). Also the Steam Deck is very user repairable, can't say the same for the Switch

We have game software we want to play, so we buy a console unit that can play it. So a steam deck cannot replace a switch. The reverse is also true. This is the feeling of the average Japanese.

The PlayStation 2’s controllers were able to re-center themselves after you moved them around a bit. Sony solved this problem more than 20 years ago.
To elaborate; I saw someone testing this on their computer too, like the stick’s input was showing slightly up on whatever program he used, and then he moved the sticks and they were re-centered.

@@restinpussy7803 it's also because it's an issue that's never been rectified by Nintendo with drift being a way more common issue especially on the lite which if you got drift, sucks to suck, you're stuck with it.

YOU KNOW THE WORST KIND OF DRIFT? META QUEST DRIFT, ITS THE WORST OF THE WORST.

Me : *buys better joy cons and home brews and installs Linux on the switch*
I mean sure, don't know what you'll be able to run on it but you can do it.
@NeonOnions
The switch is quite underpowered, and I’d imagine driver support for the tegra is quite crap, if there is any at all.
pov not being able to run anything cus switch is a glorified wii u
So basically, everything that a Steam Deck is but without the better performance you deserve as a gamer who wishes Nintendo could have actually delivered on their promise of home console gaming on the go long enough to make an impact.

Gulikit finally made an hall effect joystick!
Altought the spring and cap can still be damaged but not in a couple month
They've existed for years, they were likely just too expensive/too much hastle to produce that's why most controllers don't use them. Besides, companies don't really care if their controllers last ages it's just more money to them if they don't
"get a steam deck"
my brother in christ i dont have over 500 dollars im fine with the 300 dollar price tag for a regular switch

With parental control you can lock the switch. And only you can use it.

You not experiencing drifting doesn't lighten the fact that nintendo joycon's are just purely bad.
@@Nighttale233 no the joy cons are but the split pad pro is superior.
I honestly don’t care about the steam deck. I don’t mind 30 fps 720p, as long as it’s a fun game. And plus, you can detach the joycons if you have a friend over and you have 5-10 minutes to kill.
The LTT joystick protectors work on all consoles tho

Get a steam deck if you like charging it more than playing it
Haven’t had to charge mine too often, and I use it every day.
I get just about the same amount of time as my kid gets on the switch if I play less intense games. Atleast the deck gives me a choice if I want my games to look good or not. 3rd party games on the switch look and run like dogshit.
@@TheTez1990 yeah, but who is playing less intense games on a steam deck. I don't think anyone is going to pay $400 just to play the same games they can play on a standard pc.

What, the Steam Deck one? Works great, actually. Your thumbs work in an arc so with the grip on hand it actually reminds me of the DualShock 4 a lot. And while they look weird, the haptic pads are great replacements for a mouse if you're just doing precise aim or website navigation.
I need this for my Nintendo switch
No you don't it's completely useless it doesn't work🤓
Don't buy cause it might break your joy stick due to accidental touch of the lock. It's only meant for flat surface not for carrying or standing.
Here's a cheaper option, get a carrying case
I have no clue how but my most recent pair of joycons have not drifted after heavy use, like at all. This is a miracle on my end.
Yay also steam deck has them too
yea but it's already been addressed and fixed for some time now
@@armaan1457 if you mean stick drift then no, it hasn't. The software issue causing it to happen artificially was fixed but like every other joystick it will inevitably develop stick drift. Only difference is one that happens you have to send your entire console in to get it fixed
