    I just spent 15 minutes feeling well-advised and safe. Did NOT see #12 coming 😂 I love you for this.
    Tried blowing, tapping and cardboard without success.
    Contact cleaner (with lubrication) fixed it in my case.

    Recalibrating is a good temporary fix as it minimizes the drift. Drift is still there but not as noticeable as it was.

    I'm sure the problem causing the joy-con drift are the R3 and L3 buttons. I've seen a lot of things pointing to this. Just don't press down on the joy-cons/Switch Lite joy-stick and everything should be fine. Something about something bending when pressure is put on it. I read this somewhere. I'm planning on getting a Switch Lite for Christmas so I've been reading up on this.

    • @HowToX
      @HowToX  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      There's really no way around it though. For example, in Metroid Dread pushing down gives you a speed boost, which is needed to find many hidden items.

    So my left joycon has been acting weird all week. And the alcohol method as well as the air has fixed it for the most part. However looking inside the controller with a light shows me that having these same joycons since roughly 2017 has worn them out a bit. So dirt was partially the issue as well as being used like every day since 2017 so im buying new ones. 💀

    Hate to correct the king but draining the battery will not do a lot for safety. It will have voltage in it even if it's not enough to power on the joycon plus the real danger is if you puncture the battery. You still the king though

      Thanks. Unfortunately there are no good solutions. Draining is the best option. Having less power is better than having it fully charged.

    • @HowToX
      @HowToX  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      If you read comments on other joycon videos, many have broken the little connector when disconnecting, which ruins the whole controller. I did all the repairs in this video without disconnecting (except method 12).

    If you think it's a pain to replace joycon thumb sticks, look up how to replace them on a switch lite. Still haven't replaced mine yet and I've had 2 replacement sticks for months now. It's more of a headache. I replaced my son's joycon and felt it wasn't too bad.
