I have 3 sets. Neon Blue/Neon Red, Grey, and Neon Green/Neon Pink. The Blue and Grey ones would drift, so that's why I went and bought the Green/Pink ones and I've been using those since then, because those ones work great.

I played SM Odyssey with my left joystick drifting. Somehow it was entertaining because it was more challenging.

Does anybody who has done the dust cleaning procedure have a preferred method? I've seen many different guides detailing different specific ways of removing the dust once you've gotten into it but it's difficult to tell what is best.

The method I used was to prop up the little baffle underneath the top of the joystick with tweezers or a paper clip.  Get some electronic cleaner with one of those tiny red straws and blow one quick little burst (and I do mean little) into the area.  Now rotate the joystick for 60 seconds, making very sure not to push any buttons.  You don't want any power running through the joycon at all while you are doing this.  After you finish rotating the joystick don't touch the joycon for at least an hour so the cleaner can dry/evaporate.  

This worked for me on two left joycons.  I wish I had tried earlier because they were drifting for quite a while.  I had even had sent back a pair to Nintendo and they came back with the same problem.  

So you're going to argue with me over the scale of the problem because I don't have exact data? Okay buddy, you do that. You can continue to think the 64 was famous for bad controllers if that suits you. Denying the problem helps no one though. It's not an attack on Nintendo to point out a problem, and there's no need to defend them, just ask them to fix the problem. Are you saying that they should do nothing about it? Because it kind of sounds like that. If you don't care about this, then stop whining just because I do care. Nintendo is a large, successful company that doesn't need you to defend them.

I am saying that it is an issue that has always been present for every console that uses control sticks (least of all on the PS side in my personal experience), but it seems like people like to single out joy cons.  No one is trying to defend Nintendo, as you said they do not need it.  I just find the hypocrisy of the internet comical is all, and I am just pointing it out.  You were acting like because you never had a problem with controllers in the past, the issue must not have existed for past controllers.  I was simply offering another perspective that debunked that notion.

Also by pointing out that it is a problem with controllers in general is not denying anything.  It is actually increasing the scale beyond just Nintendo, so you might want to re read what I said in my first post on the matter.

There's no hypocrisy dude, we're singling out the Switch's control sticks because they're a unique problem. You're trying to say this doesn't matter. That it doesn't affect an outsized proportion of people with Switches. Just look at the poll man, this is RROD scale.

Something that happens to pretty much every controller does not exactly qualify as a unique problem and a poll of less than 50 people does not exactly qualify as a RROD scale anything.  Also it appears you still refuse to go back to my first post, so you are talking in circles.

No, you're talking in circles. What in your first post do you want me to respond to? Sorry I can't scientifically prove that Joycons have issues with their control sticks. I think they do, more so than any other controller ever to hit the market from the big three platform holders. I'd wager that most of this thread agrees, and that's enough for me. I don't care if you don't agree.

Dude, I have been gaming for 30 years.  I have owned a N64, ps1, ps2, ps3, ps4, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U and a Switch.  I have owned dozens upon dozens of controllers.  I have never had drift issues, it has exclusively been a Joy Con problem for me.  Nintendo is my favorite developer, the Switch my favorite console, but the Joy Cons are trash.  The first pair I had drifted and had connectivity issues.  I replaced them and had drift problems yet again, and now they come of the console easily.  The Joy Cons are not durable.  This is a real problem, not a made up anti Nintendo stance.  Just Google "Joy Con drift" and notice the hundreds of issues being reported.
