It looks like a guy came up with a permanent fix for something Nintendo couldn't in half a decade. Done with a 1mm piece of cardboard🤭Thank you Nintendo Labo, your cardboard will serve millions.

Does this work for the notorious Dual Sense Drift also? Can’t believe Sony hasn’t fixed it yet.

I've never had an issue. Not to say it doesn't exist. As an aside, TC, did Nintendo run over your dog or something?

Imagine that. A defunct Nintendo product being repurposed to fix a problem they refuse to fix themselves. This guys living in 2040.

I've bought many replacement analog sticks over the years. It sucks but cheaper than buying a new controller or waiting to get them back after sending it in for repairs.

Still no issues with mine. Got in an argument with someone on here about a year ago about it. Surely a pandemic year should have finished them off. Just thought you'd all want an update on my joy-cons 😜

But in all seriousness, love the ingenuity

Good, maybe this will work for the drift for the PS5 Dualsense controller.

Nintendo not fixing this themselves is just beyond obnoxious.

It can't be that Nintendo doesn't know what was wrong. It has to be that Nintendo didn't give a shit about it. Which is weird.

Why would it be weird?... Nintendo has never given a s***, they are the least user friendly company out and the only one pushes hardware profit. Its why they are always underpowered.

Zelda still has frame drops and these guys would rather give us a OLED screen than a Tegra X2 chip that would fix the performance issues in their own first party game.

They don't care.

The fact that they charged $60 for Doom on the Switch 1 1/2 years after it came out on other platforms and it looked like this:

And ran at 20FPS when it got too much.

They don't care, this is good enough for them and the Nintendo fans defend it and now are throwing a hissy fit because the Steam Deck exists.

@Grey_Eyed_Elf: Well, I think it's weird in that sense that it was incredibly easy to fix. They could've just fixed it, made their customers happy and not get sued.

About DOOM Eternal, I'm pretty sure Nintendo didn't set the price. But Nintendo does the same. Skyward Sword, Mario 3D Allstars, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart 8, DK: Tropical Freeze. All of these games should be 25 bucks, but are being sold at 60.

It would add one cent to the cost of the Depression-Cons so of course Cheaptendo didn't do it.

@techhog89: Yeah, even Sony was too cheap to fix drift.
