Nintendo Switch thread - Part 3

[GreyUncommon]

I don't have the Lite yet but I own a Gen 1 Switch and purchased it a few months after release - a Joycons started drifting after 6 months or so.

I still plan to get the Lite (after prices stabilizes), the drift issue is sure a hassle but it is what it is - for now. So for peace of mind, get a unit with Maxsoft warranty.

"WHAT CAUSES IT?
There are two potential causes for drift: some users blame the issue on either dust or debris making their way into the controller underneath a rubber cap that’s designed to keep the interior clean.

Others have completely disassembled the controller and found worn-down contacts, which might be causing the issue due to repetitive use. It’s also possible that neither of those theories is correct or that it’s a combination of factors that causes stick drift over time. Without Nintendo clarifying the situation, it’s tough to tell exactly what’s wrong."

but if joycon is already an issue, wouldn't switch lite be worse?

analog drift must send whole console back even if under warranty..

that's the worrisome part for me

 

[Snoweagle]

maybe must depend on luck..

but so many AMDK complaining on social media.. dunno is it vocal minority or what

AMDK usually very demanding and at times arrogant. If the drifting issue occurs more in the western countries, might be some batch issue or someting else.

Here in SG I don’t think that many are affected. When I went to Nintendo Life forums to see see look look, a lot of complains.

Correct. But it is what it is now. So your options are, get a Switch (non-Lite) or not get a Switch at all.

If you really want the Lite, then just purchase it and hope drift doesn't happen to your unit.

thanks for reply..

maybe i should consider buying lite and a bluetooth controller standby..

Welcome.

With the current price of both original Switch and Lite, I don't think you should buy a Lite plus controller, this amount of money can buy an original Switch at the usual price when the supply comes back. (I sorta regret liao. Although I bought it before the price hike.)

My opinion, buy Lite if you are on budget, or you want the portablity, or your motto is 早买早享受。

If you have the budget, want to play action and party games, want to connect to TV, don't mind the bulkiness, wait for the price to be stable and buy the Switch. (I'm considering too.)

At least you can remove and change the joycons of the original Switch, when the day comes.

yes.. casually asked around for the last few months.. not much complaints locally actually though..

I guess I shall go with my gut feeling.. and something I really want.. which is Lite.. shall wait for price to drop then. Thanks for the advice.

yup. Would wait for the price to drop before buying.. by then will decide if i want to get the original switch or the lite version.. just hopefully in the event i go get lite, it doesn't cock up..

I'm using Gstory 15.6in, bought from TOG.i didn't compare the brands prior to getting one. I have been using for more than 6 months and am satisfied with it. I don't use it at home though. I use it when I'm overseas. I have 3 pd power banks and I'll use the power banks to power both switch and monitor. 3 PB can get me more than 12 hours of gaming.

Thank you! I shall just go ahead and get that one then!

Looking to hoot a pro controller as well. My OG switch left joy con starts to drift and i heard that most joycon does which means that getting a new set will not fix its just a matter of time before joycon drift appears back to the newer set i bought
