    I’ve wasted a ton of money on joycons at this point and frankly I don’t mind not getting reimbursed if the fines actually stopped companies from shit practices. I don’t think this is a big enough fine to stop Nintendo from charging a stupid amount for something that is known not to last.

      Look into hall effect Joy con stick replacements. They use a different mechanism that doesn’t have the same drift issues, and aren’t that hard to install.

        It is very easy to replace, considering the size, but having to replace the joysticks on a $90 controller soured me on Nintendo forever. Even after years of knowing the problem exists they still dgaf. And so, neither do I. The switch 2 is the first console in the history of the company, that I don’t own.
