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". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unZABUO5w60&feature=youtu.be&t=19m59s
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. |
This desync issue is far less common than people are making it out to be.
Really, if there's one key design flaw with those it was the decision to favor aesthetics over utility by not making the plus sign which shows how to properly slide those wriststrap covers on more visible. Putting it on the wrong way is actually somewhat possible, and it can be hard to remove without damaging it.
I have no doubt that there will be a 2.0 (more for that reason as you gotta imagine kids will break the things), but the reviews and footage I've seen show that it's not that big of a deal; I'm definitely going to be testing it personally in a few hours.
