It’s been a problem ever since the Switch came out and still hasn’t been fully fixed in the new OLED model (although Nintendo says it’s made some “improvements”). While you can send your Joy-Cons away for a free repair at Nintendo (or just buy a new set), the sticks will inevitably start drifting again.

It is clarified that this is the case even if the 24-month manufacturer’s warranty period has expired or if the issue has been caused by regular wear and tear. This means that no matter how long you’ve had your Nintendo Switch console, you’re entitled to a free Joy-Con repair if you’re facing drifting issues.

A lot of the time, Joy-Con drift is caused by dust and grime building up inside the control stick mechanism. If you don’t want to totally disassemble your Joy-Con—voiding the warranty in the process—you can still clean this dirt away to fix your Joy-Con.

The problem that I experience the most is referred to as a drift stick, which is when your character in the game moves or looks around when you’re not touching the controller. This can become extremely frustrating in first and third person video games, and make it difficult to play well.
