How to Fix Stick Drift on a Nintendo Switch Joy-Con

Hi, this video shows you a simple way that can temporarily fix stick drift on a Nintendo Switch Joy-Con. It will only work if the Joy Con is dirty or has had liquid (fizzy drinks) split onto it. It will not help it if there is a broken part inside the analogue stick. It will probably need doing again if/when the problem reoccurs but if you haven't got the skills needed to replace the analogue sticks or the money to buy new Joy-Con then it may help you. It only takes a couple of minutes to do so it is worth a try. If you still have your warranty on your Nintendo Switch then you should contact Nintendo before attempting any repair as it may be replaced/fixed for free.
Stick drift is when the stick moves without any input from the user so you may find your character walking on screen without you moving anything. In this video the problem is delayed inputs which can be seen at the beginning with the analogue stick slow to reset to the central position.
Many thanks, Vince.

How did Nintendo allow something like this pass? Cant get a goddamn joystick right. Both of mine do this and they've been treated perfectly since the day of purchase. Less than a year later, they're useless.

I have never seen a game company get a joystick perfectly. The Xbox One controller’s joystick tends to drift pretty often and, at least for me, the PS4 controller’s joysticks we’re placed in awkward positions. Nintendo’s joysticks were done just as well, if not better than other companies

All of my wii nunchucks work great after years of use. My wired (30$) PDP pro controller works great after a year of more frequent use than Joy cons. Almost every controller I have from before this console gen works very well even today. It's infuriating, the lack of controller quality this generation in the official controllers.

Omg... By the power of My Mate Vince, rubbing alcohol worked.... all I did was lift up the rubber part with a tooth pick and gently swab it with a Q-tip ear cleaner and some rubbing alcohol.

Dude, thank you for this. I didn’t have any fancy electronics cleaner, but I used some tweezers to lift that flap and gave it a few good ol’ fashioned, hearty blows into the control stick. Must have blown free whatever had been stuck in there, and relieved me of a problem that had been driving me nuts for the last 3 months. My stick was much worse than yours though. The thing had a mind of its own. Thanks again!!

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH NONE OF THE COMMENTS DONT TELL YOU HOW MUCH THIS ACTUALLY HELPED. If you need help i recommend getting a cotten pad and ripping a tiny bit of wool from it and stirring it inside of the mechanism with a tooth pick (NOTE MAKE SURE THE SMALL PIECE IF COTTON ISNT FURRY THAT CAN END UP MAKING THE STICK DRIFT WORSE). Be cautious to roll the cotten up into a ball and slowly put it in the white part. Carefully stir it around and it can pick up the deepest dust. The next best thing you can do is open it with a toothpick and BLOW AS HARD YOU POSSIBLY CAN

I had the issue where the left joycon stick wouldn't fully navigate downwards anymore. Within the calibration menu, the indicator would move down perhaps 50% instead of all the way. Often noticed characters walking forward too and was close to purchasing a new left joycon for alot of money till I found this video and lifted the little rubber cap underneath the stick and sprayed some dust dissolving spray into the mechanism. It worked surprisingly well! Went back to the calibration menu about 10 seconds after spraying and it works as if it were just out of the box! Thank you so much for this video!

I have the animal crossing ~*special edition*~ joycons, and my left stick started to behave this kind of wacky after about 6 months? Isn't it ironic, my character always sneaks whenever it goes downwards and sometimes it drives me nuts and i thought i had to be stuck like this, now 1½ years later! This vid gave me some insight, thx for uploading!

NSG I've done it twice, 1st time round worked a gem, then after a month and half it played up again so I did it again. It's been working great so far ( without needing anymore wd40 touch up). This was like August last year so we're into 2019 and all is good ( so far).

If you have the drift problem and don’t want to open joycon or buy products to fix it then listen to this. Just get a straw and put it inside joycon stick plastic. You should atlest see something white. After you’ve done it then start blowing air in it through the straw for a while so dust gets removed. After a while It should be fixed. Tested it on my 4 broken joycons and it all worked and I was extremely happy. It also has risk like spit going in so make sure not to spit.
