Joy-Cons are the included controllers (retailing for $80) for the Nintendo Switch and they are prone to failure via "stick drift" within a few months of purchase. ~~[work~~ in ~~progress]~~

Joy-Cons are the included controllers (retailing for $80) for the Nintendo Switch, and they are prone to failure via "stick drift" within a few months of purchase. According to the 2022 study by the British consumer protection group Which?, 40% of Nintendo Switch owners experienced Joy-Con drift. This defect is also found in other official Nintendo controllers, like the Pro Controller (Pro-Cons), and the Switch Lite, a version of the Nintendo Switch that has its Joy-Cons built into the handheld system. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa apologized for the "inconvenience" and subsequently launched Nintendo's "free repair program."

The way the "free repair program" works is that the user will send the defective Joy-Cons to Nintendo for "repair," which, in most cases, involves replacing the defective Joy-Cons with new ones. The problem arises in cases involving limited edition Joy-Cons, where you have to sign off on consenting to the possibility of your limited edition or "non-standard colored" Joy-Cons being replaced with a standard color Joy-Con if they are sent to Nintendo for "repair." This leaves consumers with these limited edition Joy-Cons without a guaranteed way to get their products repaired if they use Nintendo's official repair service.
