[Not true] Joycon 2 has same internal quality and build as Joycon 1.

Yeah it's looking like all they did was add Lube, NOT JOKING!


Looks like we will get free repairs again

I really hope that 8bitdo finally decides to make Joycon alternatives. I already hoped for them to release some for Switch 1.

either way, the first hall effect or TMR replacement joycons, with ergonomic handles, can't come fast enough.
 
He said that you could understand it by reading his offtopic post, his post about him dealing with it?
People are only on edge cause you are trying to be edgy and funny while forgetting how to read, but hey atleast you arent uncool like those purple lamers amirite bros?
I'll be edgy for a joke, it is worth that.
I badly read his post and did not understand he was refering to his off topic posts. My bad.
As usual, relaity is far less funny than what i made of it... I'll recover.
But you seriously saying people are on edge on switch 2 threads because of my antics and calling anyone else edgy with an username like that, this might be too much bad faith and cringe for me. If i die it will be on you lethal n°1
No, but i did read his own words about Alcohol Related Brain Damage that he's suffering from

My bad i read the post wrong and went straight for something i found funny. Thanks for telling me without the condescending tone 🙏
 
I find it hard to believe that Nintendo would lack the brain power to put themselves in a position where they spend a fuck ton of money having to repair/replace Joycons after what happened with the Switch. I'd assume that they would make enough changes to the controller to help prevent drift as much as possible. Time will tell I guess.
How much did they really spend? I haven't had mine repaired I just bought another set. These things are now 95 for a set or something. The margins are high and probably cover a massive class action suit if needed.

Keep in mind how long it took for them to even own up to this issue. If the % of obvious fails was decreased and the time to fail was increased by a band aid to the design they could dramatically reduce the chances of ever having to pay for it. So they didn't need to prevent drift, they just needed to suppress it.

It's all nothing serious - apart from the extreme edge fanboys - I just like to keep things humorous ( Check my post history ). I wouldn't feel bad about it as you didn't know - We all tend to scan things quickly these days

Feel sorry for the fella as it really shows how quickly things can degenerate.
 
So.

A) Not true
B) Joy-con drift was resolved starting with the Skyward Sword Joy-Con (summer 2021) and onward when Nintendo modified their process to eliminate it as much as possible.

A)If the pictures posted are true, than these are the same sticks - you are just looking at them from different angles and can't form a 3d model in your head (shame btw).

B) They never fixed anything, the use the same sticks across all switch models.

🤦‍♂️. They made other changes within the Joy-Con internally that help mitigate the risk of drift from happening. Obviously the actual sticks themselves are the same.

I am using the Switch 2 as we speak and you're right mate.

The JC definitely feel improved. But, I just posted these Reddit threads before I got the console.
And then presented it as if it were a fact. Why even link to Reddit in the first place?

Hell, based on my preview you would have known it was better, atleast from a neutral point of view. But you weren't in that thread.
And by the way, a 90$ controller should have HAL. That includes the JC AND the Pro Controller.

90 (!!!!) $
A 2,000 post poster should know how to make an honest thread. That includes your OP and your post below.

It should (!!!!!)

So, I guess my OP wasn't so "untrue" after all.

I love how you go from your own experience to ''Well, looks like i was half-right after all!''

Then i read you got permabanned for trolling. Suffice to say, this isn't surprising.

Random train of thought: The chance of banning is progressively less when thread quality is progressively improved. Simply linking two Reddit threads and then making a thread title establishing rumors as fact is not a sign of good thread quality.

I know you know this OP. I hope your trolling times at the NeoGAF Coral were worth it.
 
no idea why these big guys are so allergic to hal effect analogs and we are still getting the same drift-proven shit in $100 controllers.
though tbf in switch2's case, the strong magnets in tablet might complicate stuff for adding hals i guess.

The big issue from what I've seen is the magnets in the Joycon 2s will interfere with hall effect sticks and make them inoperable.

It's either Capacitive sticks or bust here imo.
 
TronicsFix has made two videos, one opening the Switch 2, and one opening a joycon. It is a fantastic channel, strongly recommended.



The internal design for the sticks looks indeed quite close to the original, and his conclusion is that drift will most likely happen as well. He suspects this choice might have been forced by the presence of the strong magnets to hold the joycon, making hal effect sticks inappropriate.

Jokes aside. HAL effect joysticks are not free from having issues and it's NOT a new tech as some people think… The big issue for the Switch 2 joycons was going to have using this kind of tech (HAL effect joysticks) are the micro magnets that this tech uses, they are too sensitive to magnetic fields and guess what the Switch 2 have really close to the Joysticks… Two big and strong magnets. Like Evilore said, give time to see if the new design solved the Drift issue and please stop spreading false information, also NO controller including the HAL effect ones are free from drift.
