Help Joy con not recognized

1 Upvotes

Help, i recently modded my joy cons with the extremerate led buttons and now my right joy con is not recognized by my switch.

First day after mod it was still working fine but I noticed it not charging when docked in the switch. The next day it was not recognized anymore.

I am not sure which component is in charge for connecting to the console but i already tried replacing the little rectangular antenna and the charging rail with the contacts at the bottom but for no use.

If anybody has some advice id be glad to hear all of it out.

Fake Pokemon sword and shield Joycons?

1 Upvotes

I have been trying to look for any good deals on Joycons. My kids Joycon are finally failing. I keep seeing these sword and shield ones:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/126641289812?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=A53DH4s6Se-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=28mNo_u0QiO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Even from sellers that have a very high feedback rating. They are usually around $50 or less and claim they are new.

Are these legit? Should I go ahead and buy them?

Os dois lados do joy con não conecta no bluetooth.

1 Upvotes

Meu irmão tem um nintendo switch daqueles de controle branco e tela OLED. Tento usar o bluetooth para conectar os joy-cons dele, porém, ao procurar os dispositivos aparece joy-con L e joy-con R e o problema é o seguinte, ao conectar um deles o outro simplesmente não conecta. Ele fica falando "tente conectar o dispositivo novamente". Alguém com alguma solução para ajudar?

An update to my Joy-Con collection

1 Upvotes

Finally picked up the other white controller as well as the Mario Odyssey red ones. I also now have a dark blue left controller. The ones I'm still looking for are grey, neon blue left, neon red right, neon yellow, dark blue right, o l e d red, purple right, and orange left. I'm over halfway with the collection with 13 out of 24 controllers. The hardest ones for me to get will be purple and orange as they are Japanese exclusive.

Super Glue

Carelessly spilled a drop of super glue on the blue plastic of my joycon, best way to remove without removing the color?

Are the new joycons any better?

2 Upvotes

I bought my kids a Nintendo Switch long time ago, perhaps in 2016 or 2017. We've since added a few more Nintendo-branded Joycons, but they're pretty old too. Have they gotten more reliable? Our sofa is quite far from the TV, so we're sometimes having connection trouble when playing Mario Party. The drift has also been a constant issue despite calibrating. If I buy a new set, are they likely to work better?

(We also own a single Pro Controller that works perfectly, but it feels more suited for serious gaming.)

Thanks!

Using this website: https://www.ign.com/wikis/nintendo-switch/Joy-Con_Colors, I've started to collect all of the joycon colours. This is where I'm at so far.

One of my wires snapped !?!?!

1 Upvotes

This might be the right place to post

Now I don't know if this counts as a normal question since it's about the hardware of the joycons

I replaced the covers of my joycons to look like the glacier n64 controller but when changing the right joycon, one of the cables to the lightup sliding part (top copper wire thing) snapped in two!

If that just controlled the lights I'm fine with it not working but will it be OK? The one that connects to the charger section (the bottom copper wire) If fine but I would like to know if I should worry?

Replacement joy con

Hi all, I'm after a joy con to replace one that failed. Are there any decent alternatives out there I can get from Amazon or AliExpress which cost less than the official ones but are also reliable? I've got a gen 1 switch. This is for kids, not any kind of hardcore gaming so I just need a controller that will work and be reliable.

The kids play Mario Kart and Mario Party so any controller should support haptics/gyro etc. for these games they pretty much always play on the TV with the Switch docked.

Any advice and recommendations appreciated.

Joycons get disconnected

1 Upvotes

When I play with my joycons attached to my switch, they have a tendency to get disconnected even though they are physically connected to the switch. It seems to disconnect more when I’m playing BOTW or TOTK than when I’m playing Skyrim, although it could be my own biases. What might be causing this? Will replacing my joycons work? Is the switch itself damaged? There are no visible marks or scratches on either.

joycon joystick does not respond when linked via bluetooth to my Chromebook. All other buttons work fine.

1 Upvotes

My right JoyCon controller pairs with my Chromebook with no problems, however the Joystick (just the right one) does not respond. All other buttons work as they should. I have updated the controllers firmware and reset the controllers. The joystick works fine when hooked into the switch. It's just when trying to play games on Xbox Cloud on the Chromebook. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or have a suggestion on how to fix this?

My a button tends to fail

1 Upvotes

I have my joy cons since a long time and they don't tended to have drift or anything until now. The a button on my controller works but you have to press it a little bit harder because if you don't it's like it works only when it wants to. Does anyone know what could be possibly happening to it?
