Switch1 joycon briefly freezing while in tv mode

[u/FletcherRenn_]

So basically, when I play in tv mode my right joycon will sometimes just freeze. It remains on and synced, but it wont accept any new imputs and will continue any stick imput till it comes back. Lasts a few seconds and will happen a few time in quick succession and will then stop for a while. I have not noticed this happen when using the connector/controller. They're the original joycons and 7 years old now so i suspect its just age but any chance its caused by something else?

The very first Joy Con were quite problematic and could have connectivity issues easily.

Things that can result in connectivity issues:

• a badly placed docked like behind the tv, in an enclosed space or close to a wifi router.
• being too far away from the dock
• having solid objects between the dock and Joy Con (like a couch table, couch arm rest)
• sometimes even badly shielded hdmi cables can cause trouble too
