It is mentioned that Nintendo repairs Joy-con controllers experiencing drift for free in the USA. However, there is no mention of their refusal to do so in the EU (they still charge £40 for the fix). Why is this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.25.39.98 ( talk) 11:38, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
Hello! So I noticed that the article makes no mention of this dude online who managed to find a simple fix for Joy-Con drift. I swear i've seen it in news sources so maybe it's notable? If you'd like to me see if I can find info on it I can. Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor ( talk) 13:06, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

"The research found that the Joy-Con's plastic circuit boards showed noticeable wear on the joystick slider contact points, despite only being used for months. It is this wear that ultimately results in drifting.
In addition, dust and other contaminants were found in the Switch's internal components, despite attempts by Nintendo at dustproofing said areas." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joyconfanuser ( talk • contribs) 03:49, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
