so annoyed my joy cons are in terrible condition. tried to repair a few myself, but might have made it worse. anywhere i can get them fixed at reasonable rate? .-.

DIY. Joy con parts are all over the internet and quite cheap. I got my joy rockers from shopee and swapped the original drifting one on my own. Few minutes job. So far working good with no drift.

I create a new account under America zone Liao.. save the trouble.


if want to purchase digital game, what post code or zip code do I use? Cannot be 65 right.

You can change anytime, as long as you change the region in BOTH the console and the website (nintendo official website). I switch my asia account to US when I dedicated that account to digital purchases.

Can I use Huawei phone charger to charge my switch?
My switch charger with my in-laws.

Can. Charging the switch itself is can use pretty much any common chargers or power banks. Only the dock requires a 2.6A output in order to run dock mode.

Why would you need a separate joycon for the Switch Lite?

Hi, i have a IINE controlller for some months and recently it is having sole drifting . The subject will automatically move to the left without even moving the left joy stick. Anyone encountered this before? Is there any resolution?

Any reliable shops to buy used games?

WD40 and contact cleaner. It should work for a while.

Thanks for the tip. which means i need to dismantle the controller?

any shops are reliable and not reliable, not sure if they do such practise where they test the game when buying people second hand. if they don't, they might accept in spoil games, only the next customer who buy can test it out, if got issue can request for refund most probably.

so those shops which r usually named are fine.

Yes. I have. Don't bother trying to get nintendo to repair or use back nintendo original rockers. They have design problems that cause drifting. You can IPA and airgun your way out, but it will come back again.

Buy third party rockers online. They are decently cheap, and will last better than nintendo's original rockers. Then just replace it yourself. All you need is that special Y screwdriver and a + screwdriver. I changed mine within a few minutes, and it's working fine.

If you are going to spray IPA and airgun, then no need. Just use something to lift the rubber cap covering the base of the rocker, and spray it in. Then wiggle and blow till it's dry. The problem will come back again after a while.
