I’ve had two joy cons drift on me, thankfully I’m knowledgeable enough to swap them out with working sticks, but I still had to replace one because the ribbon cable was so pinched from the Nintendo factory that it broke the connection when I first opened it. I’m pretty careful when I work on hardware like this, and this is the first time I’ve broken a ribbon cable on the first try…Nintendo has horrible qc for their products these days.

I really wish that game companies would go back to magnetic joysticks like Sega did.

Magnetic designs are much more simple mechanically, more reliable, and generally more accurate.
