How do I get a wrist strap off a Joy-Con? Out of curiosity I attached one to the left Joy-Con, matched the minus to minus because it looked fine that way, but this thing isn't coming off easily. Does this require some special grip technique to remove it?

EDIT: Nevermind, it only takes more force than releasing a Joy-Con from the console or grip. Put the wrist strap on and off another couple of times to get a feel for it, but it really only takes more force. Not a crazy lot more, but it's definitely not as convenient as with the console and grip.

Did you also lift the white latch at the botom of the strap?

Did any of you guys return your switches to where ever you got them from?

Dont put on the Joy-con "grip" the wrong way (yes its possible to get it on the wrong way).

watch this: (she broke one of her joy-con's) :

I can see plenty of kids accidentally doing something like this... and being left without a joycon, if their unlucky.

 

This is the joy-con strap, that Im talking about (below):

And yes its possible to put it on upside down, and thus it becomes stuck and might break your joy-con.

Wow, this is serious. smh



God bless You.

I did put on the straps backwards myself . This didn't break the joy-con though.

It has an arrow pointing to the direction that locks. I had the latch the opposite way when trying to slide the wrist strap part off.

Tried them yesterday... and so far they are quite hard to take off, more so than the grip or console itself. Curious they made it so latchy.

Charging to 100% and switching to AC-only is perfectly possible, there is no reason, what so ever, to allow the battery to discharge to 86 or so % and then hold it there, it does not do anything of benefit for the battery, nor does it have anything to do with prolonging it's lifespan.

Normal praxis: http://www.computerworld.com/article/2471895/windows-pcs/maximizing-the-lifespan-of-a-laptop-battery.html

lol so instead of just using 100% of the battery until many years later when it finally starts to degrade to only being able to use 80%, we should only use 80% now and forever? WTF sense does that make?

I had to move my wifi modem today as the cable it was connected to is compromised screwing it up more and more frequently. So now I have wifi reception for Switch in my game room, yet no longer in the living room. The WiiU sitting next to it (which has weak reception itself) still shows 2 bars, Switch zero, won't connect. Every other device works (my laptop is still at 80% signal strength) Wifi reception in the Switch really sucks. Perhaps the dock is made of some wifi blocking material...

I forgot about the wrist straps, left them in the box since launch. That explains why those SL/SR buttons are so hard to press! Hidden inside.

I don't think your wifi problems are switch related, at least not a wide ranging issue. I think you have something else going on in your environment, settings etc.

 

 

Update, myself and my son still no issues. Neither of us have scratches. While I use my pro-controller when docked (so I have no clue about my joycon), he uses his joy-cons from about 6ft away. He has no issues so far. One of my co-workers today was saying his left joycon fails 100% of the time if he is about that distance or further. So maybe my son is just close-enough to not have an issue. I feel like the joycon issue is the only thing that is a significant problem and hopefully Nintendo replaces people's reported joycons for free once they correct the defect.

Yeah if those scratches are like how the 3DS was supposed to "scratch", then I'm pretty sure that's just clumsiness. It's just not true, been using my 3DS regularly since 2011 without any protection whatsoever and there's not a single mark on it. Not a spec of damage whatsoever. Really, if you're damaging it, I'm sorry, you're doing it wrong. Those protectors are a waste of money, I'm pretty confident if I get the system I'd be perfectly fine without them.

bolded parts, don't know why but I imagined you were talking about condoms and wondered how many kids you had floating around.
