Forums - Nintendo - Repaired Left Joycon Test Shows Improvement

Repairing a bunch of controllers and paying for shipping is potentially going to cost someone a lot of money.  If it's an early design flaw then it's obviously Nintendo's responsibility but I wonder if the manufacturer is responsible if it's a defect that occured during the building process.  

Seemingly only some of the original Joycons are met with the problem (I hadn't problems with mine), that would indicate that some manufacturing line haven't worked the same routine as others. But if it is inside the specifications by Nintendo, that is also a fault on Nintendos side. According to news I read, Nintendo updated the technical specification and they claim the problem will not happen in the future.

Like many, I haven't experienced this problem at all but it's good to know that it can be fixed should the issue ever arise.

I actually bought a second set of Joy-Cons and luckily both sets work fine no matter how I try and block them. It seems the red and blue ones have the problem. Both of my sets are gray.

That is exactly what I was thinking! My son and I both have grey units without issue. However, the image above yours is for the grey versions, so maybe just small issue on all? (kinda why Nintendo said it is a manufacturing variant defect)
