Nintendo switch Joycons?

So bug my Joycons on the Nintendo switch correctly. Such as. That when I scroll through the games I move the cursor in a completely different direction. Or e.g. When I'm in minecraft that I just start randomly walking somewhere even though I don't even have the joycons in hand.

This has been going on for a long time. But jz is just unbearable. I have already recalibrated the Joycons but that doesn't help.

Do you know what that could come from and what I could do there?

Is a very well-known bug of the JoyCons, called "drift". Spraying a little WD-40 in will help in most cases. There are also numerous videos on Youtube too.

This is called drifting. Is a very big problem with the Nintendo Switch which even I have.

I heard that a cotton swab with nail polish should help.

That you just hold it under the joycon and then circle around the stick.

I do not know if thats true.

Hi, this is a so-called Joycondrift, you can read yourself again separately. Nintendo offers to repair them free of charge because the effort to do it yourself is not worth it. My tip to go to Nintendo with it and also check out the warranty, because that can also affect the repair.

This is the fabled "drift" bug. Many have it and I'm one of them. There are 3 possibilities to make the joycon fully functional again.

1. Send to Nintendo Support

2. Have it repaired by a reputable dealer

3. Contact or gel spray into the gaps in the Joycon but! * Caution *! Buy the spray where it says on the package that it dries quickly. E.g. It usually says almost drying. Or better: you just buy electrical contact spray

Do you know any reputable dealers?

I mean with you in the area… There are such shops in the city center that repair electronic things or even gaming things. At least for me.

Ro

For example, if you mean big dealers like Saturn, Media Markt, Klein expert etc, they will all say the same thing, namely that they take your Joycons and send them to Nintendo so that they can repair or replace them free of charge. However, you must still have the Nintendo switch packaging and your warranty must still be valid

Cl

Yes, the guarantee is no longer valid with me for a long time. Ok, I'll have a look at dealers in the old town.

Use Wd 40 contact spray. The contact spray must state that it can also be used for electronic devices. If this is not written on it, you may destroy your joycons completely.
