    Hey! If you have the drift, and don't have the cleaner and you don't want to deconstruct your joycon, I would recommend just getting a regular plastic straw. Try to put it under the plastic that's on the joystic, and then blow through it. Repeat this for a while and the dust under the stick should disappear. It's actually really simple and it helped me to fix my drift, so I hope this helps!

    Can confirm this worked for me!
    I bought a 2nd hand switch from someone on Facebook and they failed to mention the absolutely awful joy con drift in the left joy con. Tried the contact cleaner ('WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner' with the lil straw on it) method. 1 short blast and a nice massage and it works good as new! :D Thanks!

    • @saraha5320
      @saraha5320 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      UPDATE: A little bit of the drift has come back, but it is absolutely not as bad as when I started out needing to fix it.
      If the drift comes back, give the analog stick another few sprays with the contact cleaner from different angles and it should continue to work! (Or that's what has worked so far for me at least, anyway).
