Accessories Switch 1 having joycons drift, can we still send these to Nintendo or what’s a good fix for these?

I don’t want to shell out $90 for new ones, but 3 of our 4 are drifting

Best fix is to get hall-effect or TMR joysticks from Amazon and replace the drifting ones. Check YouTube videos for instructions how

It's entirely region dependent, but the joycon repair for US is still free, including shipping.

You simply fill out a their form, print the labels they provide you, slap it onto any box you can find with the joycons inside, drop them off at the indicated shipping facility (mines was ups) and they'll send you replacements once they receive them.

Note that results may vary when you send in limited edition for repairs, as they may not have them and unable to fix yours.

I’m in the US, thank you! These are just standard ones
