Hi! So I know that not many of you have probably not dealt with this issue with your Joy-Cons (LUCKY) but let me explain none the less. In July, I got Fortnite (I know, I'm ashamed as well). As time went on, I noticed that that my character would move to the left without my input (For those who don't know, this is called drifting). I thought it was just Fortnite, but now I've seen it in Skyrim, Splatoon 2, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. So it's safe to say that it isn't just Fortnite, sadly. I tried Nintendo's toothbrush trick under the rubber flap beneath the analog stick cap, and even shooting some compressed air, but to no avail. The worst part is that I know this was not an issue from day one. I looked it up and some people said that it started after they dropped them. I have dropped mine, but from off the couch, which is like 2 feet. I'm honestly too scared to even touch my Switch anymore because the effects have become almost nauseating to deal with. I tried a GameCube controller and the games run perfectly, so I don't think it's the Switch itself (Like I said, it only started a few months after I got it). Sadly, this is not a perfect fix, as Skyrim and Splatoon2 have Motion Controls and need more buttons.
Another problem is that it's the Neon Switch bundle, which means if I want to get the Left Blue and Red Right (Which I'm super adamant about), I have to fork over $200+ CDN (Blue AND Red pairs). Now I know, some people out of the 0.000001% that are reading this are like "Yo doofus, just call Nintendo. DUHHH!!!" The problem with that (I know, so many problems) is that since I live in Canada, calling Nintendo of America will cost me since I don't have long distance calls, which ruins the whole "free warranty" kind of thing.
There is literally no good way to go about this, so far. I would by a Pro Controller or an 8bitdo controller, but then I'm still left with a crappy handheld experience.
Like I said, I know this is a very specific problem that a lot of people don't deal with, but if you have any advice, please let me know. I just want to play my Switch without throwing the Joy-Cons out the window. Thank you so very much.
