Show people this when they ask about Joy-Con Drift.

A couple weeks back the president of Nintendo finally issued an apology for an ongoing issue with their Joy-Con controllers. To those who are fortunate enough to not have this problem, here's an example that I unfortunately have to deal with.

Suffering joy-con drift? Here's an update video where I show how to fix it for free in less than 2 minutes:

You know the drift is bad when you can’t even complete the calibration

[thatonepenguinyoumightsee]

I didn’t know what joycon drift was until one day when I was peacefully playing Minecraft. When I flicked the stick down it went up and I was like “is this a new game mechanic or something?”

[tabbiya]

Joycons be like: "Mom said it's my turn to play on the switch"

[tristencox]

"Please, no johns"
"Bro I have drift"
"Understandable"

[Irrev]

"Everyone likes drifting so much in MarioKart, so why don't I do it for them?"
- the Joy-Cons, probably

[elyxircreations]

I had joycon drift so bad that in pokemon shield I encountered a shiny female ralts and when i got it to low health I went to hit the bag, and as soon as I hit "a" it switched to run. Happened with a shiny rookidee not long after. Thats when I decided to get new ones

[leonardofructuoso]

Seeing every one claiming they have joycon drift makes me appreciate how I still haven't experience that yet even after having the switch for a while year

[wah-gbxe]

the fact that you can even navigate to the calibrate menu without extreme effort is a feat in of itself.

[ripplingriver]

They’re called Joycons, but they’re really not bringing a lot of joy lmao

[JhilianBee]

And yet they still charge 60 to 80 dollars for drifty joycons

[superhoodie]

Tbh, switch has been my favorite console as if late. To bad i havent touched the thing in months, because of THIS.

[JamesWilliams-rbvk]

My joycons got so bad that even when I went into calibrate the dot was moving on it’s own without me even touching the analog stick. Felt like a shitty Ouija board

[froggiebeans]

my dad still thinks its my fault for not being careful enough hahahahahagsghagvgdh

[-Teague-]

Key word in "Joycon" is the "con"

[silhouettoofaman]

What usually worked for me, at least for a while, was "warming up" the stick. Meaning, before I go into a game, I go into the calibration menu and rotate the analog stick a few times, then hold it in 4 positions - up, down, left, and right - for about 10 seconds each. If it starts to drift in any of those directions, that's the direction I hold it in the longest.

Note that this method isn't fool-proof, as it doesn't fix the drifting issue, as it just reduces it a tad.

Plot twist: Nintendo wanted you to *buy* more joycons

[ikeuwu]

“I really need new joycons”
Nintendo: HAH we’ve got another one, everyone gets a raise.

[cs]

Yeah I wasn't rough on my joycons and one day they decided "hmm yes. Every direction is left"

[brocci]

What's awfully common about these drifts is that it's mostly the left joycon or joystick that tends to drift
