Nintendo Switch 2 buyers have started experiencing Joy-Con drift with the new controllers, and the fix is identical.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is already a huge success. Nintendo is selling more units than it can manufacture, and it’s likely the high demand will hold for quite a while. The original Switch sold incredibly well, so Nintendo has a massive user base ready to upgrade to a more powerful version that can handle much more complex games. Still, it’s not all good news.
Nintendo said a few months ago that it didn’t use the “Hall Effect” stick design in the new controllers. That would have been one way to prevent drift. The Hall Effect design uses magnets, which might have interfered with the Joy-Con’s built-in magnets. These controllers attach and detach to the console using strong magnets, a feature that wasn’t in the first-gen models. In early June, Nintendo confirmed it’ll replace Joy-Con 2 controllers that develop drift for free.
