Two for me. Don't think I'm going to get another one. Just going to have to play with a Pro controller from now on.

I had to send one in for drift. So far it's worked since then.

I've had a Switch since the day they came out and haven't had any problems yet. I do use the pro controller half of the time though.

One was drifting and I had to send it in for repair. No issues since then. Was about 2 years ago I think.

My friend had to replace three. Joycons are pretty much the worst controllers Nintendo has ever made.

None fortunately! I haven't experienced Joy-Con drift yet, thankfully.

None, I don’t play my Switch very often and I invested in a Pro controller. The main games I used my joy cons on are Fitness Exercise Boxing 2 and ROTK 14 and they didn’t break it. I imagine Mario Odyssey which puts more stress on them might break them more easily.
