"Youtuber Spawnwave put out some tweets that he had opened up the joycons and managed to extend the range that many people have had issues with. He has said that he has managed to increase the range to about 20 feet instead of the near 10 that it seemed to max out at before."  -Its Quite Toasty @neogaf.

So basically heres a video where a engineer opens up the left joy-con and goes "well this isnt smart".

So he managed to get his left joy-con to work at 40ft, when before it was barely okay at 20ft.

 

What does all this mean?

Well Nintendo will do a revision of the joy-cons with a better design at some point, and those wont have the desync issues.

If your a early adopter of the switch,... well you can always buy new joy-cons a year or so down the line when they do 2.0 versions.
