This is a PSA to any Nintendo switch owners out there

If you have had your switch for a while then you are probably aware of the drifting joycon problem. And if you have not experienced it you will. It is not a question of if you will it is a matter of when you will. It is a design flaw of sorts of the Nintendo Joy con.

If you look at the joy con joystick underneath it is a little rubber flap that you can pull up with a Q-tip or something small and up this is very easy to trap dust particles hair and skin. And this is what causes the drifting joystick issue. But there is a simple remedy. Don't be like me and shell out sixty bucks for new joycons only for them to fall prey to the same issue. And I was also getting ready to purchase a wired Pro Controller because I was tired of these issues. But like I said there was a simple remedy a simple and easy fix.

All you have to do is get a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol lightely dab the Q-tip in the rubbing alcohol and then apply it gently to your joycon. Get all around the inside of it and try to gently lift up the rubber flap and get underneath it because that is where the sensors are. If you do this properly it will fix your drifting joycon issue. If it doesn't there is something wrong with your joycon and it will need to be repaired or replace.

yes there are many many videos and blogs about this subject already but I felt like one more wouldn't hurt. :-)
