Nintendo Switch Lite Joystick Problem

Published 2019-10-19
My switch lite started doing this after two days of ownership and maybe 10 hours of use. It's not drifting conventionally but rather not reading the input to the left side. I don't have a video but about 3 hours of trying to ignore it (local GameStop was closed, couldn't take it back yet) the right direction started doing the same thing. I'm an adult, I didn't mistreat the console in any way, it was either on my table or in my hands.

    I had the same problem in 3 nintendo switch lite i changed 2 times my nswitch cause in a few hours I had that problem but to the right side. Im going to return my 3rd nswitch lite in less than 15 days and Im going to buy the normal switch. There inst a strong use of the stick, i played consoles since game boy and ps one and never hapend this. With nswitch lite 3 times in 3 different! Is completely broken, really so bad stick. edit: i love nintendo games and im not a hater, theese the real things, the 2 sticks of this console are awfull, really bad hardware, are really sensitive. Im buying the normal switch when i will never use dock mode...
  • Maybe you pushed the joy stick to the left side too hard and accidentally damaged the joy stick sensor
