Nintendo has formally stated it will repair faulty Switch Joy-Con controllers – even if they are out of the standard 24-month warranty – free of charge until further notice.
This offer applies to Switch owners living in the UK, European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, and covers “responsiveness syndrome irrespective of whether this is caused by a defect or by wear and tear”.
Nintendo Switch owners have long complained of the dreaded Joy-Con drift – where your controller disconnects or begins moving on its own – throughout the console’s life.
