Sorry OT now.

I've been reading on internet about drifting joy cons a lot but is it really a widespread issue? 

I have a launch day Switch with only the joy cons that came with the console and a pro controller. I play about 50/50 docked and handheld so I use both the pro and the joy cons and I've never had issue with this. 

I've seen it happen to multiple friend's Switch units, it's happened to me twice (first half of 2018 when I first bought it and since last Sept for my second joycon set). Joycons here cost a whopping £70, that's at least £30 more than the latest Xbox gamepad, and the drift issues just fuck me over for multiple games, making each game feel sluggish and almost non responsive.

This is the first console where I've ever had issues with it's gamepad.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
