I should add though that I am very disappointed in the joy con drift issue. Basically, the Switch's primary controller is trash.  That's a pretty serious problem, and I am especially disappointed in the relative lack of acknowledgment and a failure to take the pro-consumer action on the part of Nintendo.

It’s a problem, but not one that warrants such a melodramatic reaction given it takes about 30 seconds to fix the issue.

For someone that's reasonably talented fixing things, it takes several minutes, after spending money on parts and waiting for them to arrive or going to the store to buy them.  For other people, it is not doable except by paying someone that knows what they're doing.

If Nintendo were providing the parts for free, and had some well-produced, step by step, idiot proof videos for making the repairs, that would be one thing. But Nintendo is not doing that. Nintendo is only providing coverage beyond the original warranty to the extent that they have been forced to.

Also, Nintendo continues to knowingly produce and sell the faulty product. This is probably the biggest issue of all, wrt Joy con drift. 

Anyway, in my opinion, Nintendo has done a shit job of standing behind their product.
