| Leynos said: Nintendo Joycons use stock Chinese parts that are cheap. PS5 controllers have had serious drift issues. Elite Controller version 1 had drift issues. What needs to happen is every console maker follows SEGA Saturn and SEGA Dreamcast examples and just uses Hall Effect (neither have drift issues even used controllers to this day). SEGA solved it in 1995. Even Sony's $200 controller doesn't use Hall Effect but my $70 8bitdo Ultimate Controller for Switch does. It's time Hall Effect is standard to prevent drift entirely but all 3 cheap out on parts. |
The difference here that it's been confirmed to be manufacturer problem and the joycons are suffering from mass defects. Nintendo said they will address the issue and apologized. Yet the joycons are is still being sold with the same defects with the new Zelda unit. This concerns me because if people keep buying and not caring this will become a standard to release low quality product that breaks so the customer can keep spending more.
