Fun fact: the free joycon repair was the result of several class action lawsuits against Nintendo for initially refusing to repair them for free and at a premium. Once it was found that they used parts that degraded quicker than others their hands were tied and the result is free joycon repairs.
@@jaredgalang9934 you'd think, but Nintendo kept refusing to acknowledge it as a problem and ended up doing a "we'll just replace these for you as positive PR"
Just a word of warning on sending drifted joy cons to Nintendo, sometimes they can’t fix them and just send a new pair, so if you send a special edition, like animal crossing or pikachu joy cons, you might just get a regular pair back
There's a software you can download to change the registered color of the joycon so that the Switch will read it as the correct color when you change the actual physical color of the joycon. All you need is the correct hexadecimal color for the special joycon you had and the Switch will read it as such. Which for the special ACNH ones works to turn normal joycons into the special ones and gets you the ACNH Switch mailed to you in-game to place in your tent/house. I know this from a video about how to turn a normal Switch into the ACNH Switch.
@@abadgurl2010 yeah but it’s also probably got to do with the exteriors? Ppl probably like the actual physical joycons designs if they have a special/limited edition one
Yea so for those I'd suggest buying a replacement stick, they aren't complicated internally I replaced my brother's when I broke one (the other was drifting) Fixed both of them good as new
Word of warning on sending your JoyCons in: Nintendo may just send replacement joycons of different colors and there's nothing you can do about it. So if you have red and blue ones, you might just get gray ones back
Can confirm, like a year ago I send my left red joy-con to repairs and what came back was a brand new red one. I got lucky and received the same color joycon, but it's important to keep in mind they can just send you a new one and you might lose a special edition joycon if you send it.
*Here is why changing the MTU works:* MTU (Maximum transmission unit) is the maximum amount of payload bytes transferred in 1 ethernet frame. By changing this from 1400 to 1500 (the maximum), every packet containes 100 more bytes, thus making the connection faster. (7% less packages need to be send) *Why isn't the MTU set to 1500 by default?:* Some (corporate) networks encapsulate packages for various reasons, which increases the payload size. If the new payload exceed 1500 bytes, the package will be split in 2 packages. This however, creates more network load than when the MTU was set to 1400. For many cases, setting MTU of 1500 would be beneficial.
To fix the drift on my nintendo that might fix yours is I went to collaboration controller something like that, and I pressed *Y* on my controller for factory reset controller and it worked extremely well. Hope this helped.
If you have limited edition controllers you want to keep, that have drift, do not send them to Nintendo to be fixed, they will likely just send you a new pair.
@@thiccqiyanaenjoyer1099 For that I’m not exactly sure. I looked it up and couldn’t see if Nintendo will fix it for you. But there are plenty ways you can fix drift at home. You should try cleaning the joystick, compressed air might do the trick. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
@@thiccqiyanaenjoyer1099 I called customer support about that recently and the repair isn’t free(~$90-110 USD), but then again my Lite is out of warranty-so it might be free or cheaper if it’s in warranty.
Most will work because for the most part modern sd cards are all higher spec. But it is possible to buy a cheap knock off and have it not work. But anything you get at like best buy or Walmart (in America at least) will work. It's pretty much impossible to hey a low enough class sd card unless you specifically look for it... And they for some reason cost more for the lower class options. Which is unfortunate because new pinballs use them and it's a nightmare finding ones that will work.
So I’ve actually sent Joy-Cons back to Nintendo on a number of occasions and I’ve come to realize that they will fix much more than just drift. I’ve had issues with buttons and scratched up joysticks and they’ve just replaced them for free. And I’ve heard that they’ll just completely replace your Joy-Con if they can’t fix it, once again, entirely free (I have never experienced this firsthand so don’t take this factually). Seeing as you can send up to four controllers at a time, you could have just one that has drift issues and three more that have other problems and they’ll fix them as far as I’m aware.
i had bought used joycons and we had sent them in for stick drift, turns out that pair weren’t liscenced nintendo so nintendo just fixed the two with stick drift and then replaced the unliscenced ones with blue and red brand new joycons
Would they fix a bloated battery for free after the warranty has run out? I have two joy con with bloated batteries and I would need to buy a special screwdriver for replacing them
I'm getting ready to do that now, my Joycons have a few thousand hours on them. They're beat up to death, drift so severely that you can no longer run in games if you can even select one at all, and are just overall not something I want to fix if I can get it done for free. They are past the point of help from isopropyl alcohol. Unfortunately, mine are the Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee ones. Surely they wouldn't replace those, right? I'm curious to see how they'll handle it.
You should probably state that the "send the joycons back" method is only free in america and Canada. In Australia there's an appraisal cost and a fix cost if you send them to Nintendo.
Not only that, they don’t guarantee YOUR color joycons. I had to repair the animal crossing ones myself because I was afraid I would get the default black if I shipped them
@@SaltyMaud I'm too inexperienced and don't have any specialised tools, I'd much rather pay professionals than fuck it up myself. For some people it might be a viable option
Be aware that when you send joy cons for repair Nintendo might return you DIFFERENT joy cons. If you have special edition joy cons, NEVER send them to repair bc you might not get them back
@kosmosrebell no lmao, that's not why, buying another joystick and replacing it will just make it last for a little longer, stick drift happens because over time a little piece in the bottom of the joystick wears out causing the metal piece under to fall a bit down, and so causing detection problems iirc, the solution to this is very simple since you just need a square piece of anything non conductive to push the metal piece back up.
*NEVER* send limited edition or special editions joy-cons to Nintendo to fix them because they don’t even fix them they just send a new pair of joy-cons PLEASE take care of your special edition or limited release or just any kind of “special” joy-con. Have a good day or night thank you for reading
I remember that there's someone who made a tutorial that helps you permanently fix joy con drift by placing a small piece of paper somewhere under the joy stick
A couple points: 1. video clips are only available on supported games 2. if you have special edition joycons, it may not be a good idea to send it in as you aren't guarunteed the same ones back. Replacements can be found, including some Hall Effect ones, that you can probably replace yourself in about a half hour with no prior training (assuming you have hte proper tools, which is really just a Y-00 and phillips-00 screwdriver kit and some tweezers.
In Belgium, if you still have the ticket from when you bought them in the Dreamland you can give it to them and they will just hand you a new pair. Even in other colors
Bruh one year ago I had joy con drift it started off in one of the joy cons and then both had them then I spent £19 to get a replacement kit on Amazon with good reviews and it was Amazon choice it came with extra screws all the good screw drivers cleaning cloth a brush I then replaced them and I’ve had no issue since. And now I found out I could just send them back to get repaired for free 😂😭💀
Actually i think that service was available only in the US and Canada, so don't worry. Anyway very recently it was discovered that just a little piece of cardboard under the Joycon shell can fix and prevent joycon drift, if you search that up surely you'll find a tutorial
@@paolinazzo2393 no, it is currently available in Europe as well. However, you are responsible for the shipping costs to send them over there, which in my country costs roughly 7,50 euros. Still the cheapest option though.
i’ve known about a lot of these for a while, the last one is one of those things that help a lot. If you don’t like your controllers, lie about joycon drift and send them back. they don’t fix them and just send you back a new pair so you can always do that if you break something other than drift
also to fix joycon drifting you can spray some wd40 electrical contact cleaner underneath the joystick and just move the joysticks around for a while, works like new.
You should also let people know that sending your limited edition or special joycons doesn't always mean you'll get them back. When Nintendo can't fix them they'll often replace them. That means your favorite Zelda Joycons might come back as your favorite Red and Blue Joycons so be careful.
thanks for the mtu tip, was literally just in the middle of downloading splatfest and thought i’d open my phone to kill some time while waiting and this is the first short that came up. i changed it to 1500 and now the estimated time went from 1 hour 12 minutes to just 7 minutes. absolutely crazy🤟
@@kennygarcia102 click internet settings, then click your wifi option that's already connected, you should have 3 options pop up, select the second one & scroll down until you see the MTU OPTION. 1500 is the max MTU you can change it to.
Ever since I got a taste of external storage back in 2017. I can’t have a console without an extra 2TB of storage. 256gb works great for the switch if you don’t play it often
Be aware that if it was the joy con's that came with the switch, you might have to send the switch in too. If you have limited edition joy cons. YOU MAY NOT GET THEM BACK. If you want to fix your own joy cons. Card stock (think index card) cut to the size of the joycon stick box (about 1/3rd to a half inch square) inside the controller(trim as needed to fit) to reduce the gap for the contacts. It fixes the issue 99% of the time. You can also try compressed air to blow out any dust, dirt, or other built up gunk.
They can, but it's not free. Your controller has a limited warranty, and when you run out, the repair will cost $40. You also have to talk to a support agent and troubleshoot the device before they send you a link to the repair form. I just did that the other day...
Well thank you! I am a Nintendo 64 save the penguin type of girl and I'm trying to keep up with my kids so I can play with them and fix any issues on the switch. I so appreciate this!
Also another little tip in case you didn’t know: if you go to system settings, head to system, click the option of serial information, you’ll see Console Battery, which you’ll realize has the letter “B”, just like Bungee Gum, which possesses the properties of both rubber and gum
I’ve been fortunate enough that in my 3 years of owning a switch, I have never encountered stick drift. I’d say what helps is not being rough with your controller.
You can also try to fix joycon drift yourself, but it is a bit risky. But if you just take your time and follow along on a RU-vid video, it'll work(for me atleast)
Its actually super easy to repair the joysticks yourself! I did it for like £3 in under 15 minutes for both, and also changed the plastic rail guards to metal so they don't fly off the switch without pressing the buttons!
Raising the MTU is very effective on stable internet connections. If a single packet of data doesn't download correctly due to unstable internet, the whole packet has to be discarded and re-downloaded. On unstable internet connections, a smaller MTU means that you would be discarding less data in the event of a download failure, so the download time would be faster in that case. On a stable internet connection though, larger packet sizes make the download faster because there is more data per packet and therefore less packets, meaning less network activity around wrapping the data and transmitting it.
@@TDM-real nope. 1500 is the default throughout the internet. Even at 1500, at some point something is going to have to do the work of splitting up the TCP packets, causing speed reduction and latency. MTU shouldn't be messed with unless there are issues, and even then just lowered.
@@sebydbossyt7783 bro I have one not everyone can easily throw money around for a new controller besides pro controller also gets drift what you talking about?😂😂😂
If the drift isn’t like, wildly messed up, you can actually fix it yourself in about two minutes or less by going to configure your joycons in the system settings. I forgot about that feature and dealt with drift for years but recently I was looking around my Switch and found that again and I was able to fix my drift completely on my own. I was so excited! No more playing BoTW or now ToTK and having Link on an edge and then randomly decide to jump off on his own without my input.
Added tip for the last part… if you wanted you could include the metal tabs to replace because it comes with plastic tabs to hold the joycons with the switch screen. You know the button you press with to release the joycons, they are plastic tabs and wear out which then allows joycons to fall off
Dang I dropped my switch and it landed on the joycon and now the controller doesn’t stay connected but they work fine not attached, different joycons work tho so it must just be the one set that broke
I had stick drift on one of my joy cons once, but I fixed it myself by using a bottle of canned air, and shooting it in the flap underneath the joystick. This works because stick drift for joy cons is usually caused by dust or dirt getting in the joystick via the flap underneath, so using canned air can blow it out. It took me around 15 minutes, which can be a bit tedious, but it's better than paying 80 dollars for new ones, or waiting a few days for Nintendo to fix it.
@@DawitPersonal it only works on a few games and u have to hold the home button for a bit to record the last 30 seconds on the games that it does work on but those games could later disable the feature later on in an update. To do it easily u probably better off using a capture card or using a phone to record the screen
Larger MTU is associated with reduced overhead. Smaller MTU values can reduce network delay. In many cases, MTU is dependent on existing network capabilities and must be adjusted manually or automatically so as to not exceed these capabilities. A larger MTU requires processing of fewer packets for the same amount of data. A 1500-byte packet (as shown here), the largest allowed by Ethernet at the network layer, ties up a 14.4K modem for about one second.
I NEEDED THAT FIRST ONE I NEVER HAVE ENOUGH STORAGE FOR ALL THE GAMES AND IM TOO LAZY TO BUY AN SD CARD SO I REDOWNLOAD GAMES THANKS BRO YOU JUST SAVED ME A LOT OF TIME!
The new OS update always for calibration to fix drift, unless it’s extreme. Saved me $80 and works perfect. You can also remap buttons in case your L3/R3 won’t click and you want to just sacrifice the screenshot button.
I've had my switch for 3 years, still never encountered joycon drift. I'm curious why it happens to so many people. Then again, I don't smash my joycon sticks like I see a lot of people doing.
What type of games do you play on it? My kids play Mario Kart a lot I play a ton of Zelda games. All of these are very hard on the JoyCons and I have two left hand ones I can’t use with games that require precision, like driving in Mario Kart, because the drift is so bad.
So on the joycon drift issue, it's honestly a super easy home repair. All you need is a specific screwdriver (a Y head tri wing screwdriver that's super thin and super long) and you can just open it up yourself and put a piece of paper under the stick. This will 100% fix the and only cost like at most 5 dollars for the screwdriver. This will void the joycons warranty so if it's a new system and new set it's better to send it in but if it's old joycon then it's far easier to just do it yourself
Amazing,I wish I would've known sooner. I got my Nintendo switch for Christmas,that very night I bought “Super Heroes 2.”I even got it on sale. The point is it took almost 24 hours to download. I actually just got done playing.
Here to place my thoughts on sending joy-cons for repair. If you have special edition ones, don't. If you have stick drift on them, I recommend buying a pair of hall sensing joysticks and going to your local electronics repair store and ask them to fit them in it. Hall sensing joysticks are so much better than the stock sticks and almost never get drift because they use magnets to determine where the stick is.
