A Simple Yet Elegant Solution For Your Joy-Con Woes
A significant number of people have been having issues with the left Joy-Con for their Nintendo Switch. The controller has been desyncing with the rest of the system, prompting customers to contact Nintendo for a fix.
Nintendo has come up with a solution, and the first wave of customers are getting back their now-corrected controller halves. A single piece of conductive foam, placed in the right spot, is enough to solve the syncing problem. So simple! So elegant! Surely they’re kicking themselves for not seeing something so simple from the get-go.
Regardless, the fix is in. Nintendo has yet to make a public statement on this issue. While people do need to know about this, perhaps they don’t want people going the DIY route? The Joy-Cons are not cheap controllers to replace. Maybe Nintendo is afraid we’ll start destroying our controllers to fix this problem? Although really Nintendo, have a little faith in your customers. Unless the reason for the company’s reticence has more to do with the extremely simple nature of the solution. Either way, the critical takeaway is this, that your Joy-Con troubles can be solved, and the solution is not a complicated one.
