Not gonna lie, I've been a bit of a Nintendo Fanboy this Gen, I think the 'Switch is conceptually great, it's what the Wii U should have been. I am perfectly conent with it largely being a Nintendo/Indies/Ports Console and ultimately feel that if Nintendo move forward the same way, essentially making a Switch 2, I'll probably go for that too.
But boy am I disappointed with the JoyCons. I'm on my second set, both of which have developed problems with the Analog Sticks. The same thing happened with my Brothers JoyCons and a friend of ours as well. In all cases the problems started a only a few months of moderate use. I kinda expected more from the Company that has made Handheld Gaming devices that have survived bombing runs and the cold of Everest. Add the hefty price on top of that and cumbersome and incompetent technical support (sent in Joy Cons, one of them they must have tested the stick for all of 5 seconds, deciding it didn't need to be replaced because it was only showing early jitters and they seem to have not noticed). That nobody talks about it only adds insult to injury. So, to anyone here who has a Switch (I'm not entirely alone, right?), have you had similar issues? Did you too expect better? Do you know of any viable third party products?
