Official Nintendo Licensed D-pad Joy-Con Left Zelda Version for Nintendo Switch

Product Information

The Nintendo Switch continues to be a massive hit more than six years after its launch. It's a console that's perfect for use at home or when you're on the go. One of the cleverest elements of the Switch's design are the Joy-Con--detachable controllers that amplify the hybrid nature of this hardware. That detachable focus also gives the Switch a highly-customizable format, one that Nintendo has capitalized on over the years with special-edition console bundles and unique controller color schemes. tntswitchfan68 Wow, victim blaming huh? I have hundreds of controllers that have got filled with dust and still work perfectly fine. My Joy Cons I've ALWAYS been careful with, and both of my pairs STILL DRIFTED multiple times. And even then, dust is EVERYWHERE, so Nintendo should have made a controller that's much more dust resistant, but nah, just blame the fans for not "taking care of the controllers" even though there's almost no damn way to avoid this problem because everyone has dust in their house of some capacity, and the controllers should have some sort of resistance against dust in the first place, like, notice how little people complained about the PS4, Xbox, Wii U, Wii, or even Switch Pro Controller drifted, because those cases aren't as bad/widespread as with the Joy Cons. Ofc, half the people in the comments blame it on u not taking care if your stuff, when mine is immaculate. I have sold many used games & system on cheapassgamer.com & have a perfect reputation, things like a ps2, GameCube & other systems & hardware, so to think i just all of a sudden decided to treat my Switch differently is absurd. I still have a perfectly working launch Xbox one & a ps4 that came out less than 1 yr after launch w original controllers that work great. I think 1 issue is the joycons are attached to the system,,which needs to be in an open space to vent properly, but my other controllers are put up, in a closed box so just can't get on them,,when I'm not using them. If Nintendo was honest about this issue early, i would have kept the joycons with them, so no dust particles could get in the controller (it doesn't take much it seems to cause drift). By the time it was finally admitted by Nintendo, in the form of free repairs, i had long sold my joycons & had only used pro controller until i finally got hori split pad pro after release & the even better C25 joycons. I didn't play in handheld much until the last 6 months or so, so i didn't need replacements then. Not only is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword being remastered in HD for the Nintendo Switch, but releasing alongside the game will be a set of limited edition Joy-Con controllers.

The Joy-Con can communicate wirelessly over Bluetooth or through the rails over UART. The latter uses a Nintendo proprietary protocol called "Nwcp". They sport a fancy design inspired by the iconic Master Sword and Hylian Shield that Link has wielded in various adventures across the last 35 years. tntswitchfan68 At this point I'm not really sure if you're trolling or if you really don't understand how these things work.

Joycon where the fix was applied when it was new: starts to drift because of wear after 2,5 years, effectively cutting lifespan in half compared to the pro controller. the Joy-Con drift may still exist regardless, but I am super happy with Nintendo for their repair services!

My take on this: while it looks like the wear on the graphite pads doesn't cause the drift issues, it will at some point, because that's how normal controllers start to drift.

HEX codes for the colors shown in the "Controllers" menu of the Switch UI can be found in a Joy-con SPI dump starting at offset 0x6050. Body color is first followed by button color and each is 3 bytes long. These values are able to be re-written with any HEX color value to make the Joy-cons show up as different colors in the UI. The following is a list of official HEX colors recovered from SPI dumps. Fellow YouTuber Erica Griffin responded to this, noting how it's apparently been a "good while" since these "foam pads" have been in the Joy-Con, but they won't necessarily resolve the drift issues: The February Nintendo Direct included several announcements that has got fans of the iconic Zelda series very excited. While these foam pads may have slightly improved Joy-Con controllers, it seems they're not necessarily the official fix everyone is hoping for...

Announced on January 12, 2021, this third red controller variant (after the "Neon Red" originals and the "Red" Joy-Con set that accompanied the launch of Super Mario Odyssey) was only sold in a bundle with the standard Nintendo Switch console (and not part of Japan's custom color program), making it a new special edition Joy-Con rather than a standalone color variety. Although there has been a mixed response to the news that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is coming to Nintendo Switch later this year, many have been waiting to buy the exclusive Joy-Con. Sure, I get it, it's not strictly a deal, but some folk really want these.In total for Switch, I own a standard Pro Controller; wireless Hori Sonic; Pac-Man Split Pad Pro; Power-A wireless Mario Bros. 3 and Twilight Princess; and Power-A wired Super Mario Bros., Kirby, and Metroid Dread. I also have Joy-Con in grey, OLED white, blue Skyward Sword edition, and two pairs of Animal Crossing ones I never use." I have three pairs that I’ve owned since 2017 but would have them collecting dust since I always use my Pro Controller with the Switch connected to the TV. over the years, I did notice drift on some, some buttons not working on others and so on. oh, and I’ve also managed to drop one and spill drinks on others. to sum it up, I’ve been careless with these controllers to the point that I only had two out of six Joy-Cons functioning. I procrastinated for years to send them in because I had a fear I would rightfully be charged. And i would like to get an OLED Switch too at some point even though the difference from regular to OLED is not huge. Big, not huge. But it is kind of pricey, it is 100 dollars just to upgrade. And then i might be too attached to sell my original Switch too, it happens. I did not sell my GBA when i got a GBA SP.
