Hot take - I think the Joy-Cons are underrated

They were great when they were brand new, and I continue to like them, in theory. But, because of the way Nintendo handled the drift issue (basically ignoring it and continuing to sell a product that they know to be faulty, and charging a premium price for it), I just can't see them as a good product.

I got about 5 years out of my launch joycons before I experienced drift. But it doesn't matter that mine worked. What matters is that Nintendo knew there was a widespread problem and didn't even bother to change the products moving forward.

Damn it. I had 3 pairs now. All them started drifting after 5 months. The last pair at least drift very little like once a month. So when it starts I just rage quit playing and turn on my PS5 to play something else. Otherwise it works fine. 

The first one became absolutely unusable after a year. Every time I sync it with my Switch it starts to move the cursor in the OS like some ghost. Trash
