Joy-Con Drifting Has Sprung Up A Class Action Lawsuit Investigation
For those of you unaware what Joy-Con drifting is, it is essentially what it sounds like. The Joy-Con perceives that the thumbstick is slowly being moved when in reality it isn’t. The problem is so apparent that the Chimicles, Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith law firm is looking into the problem to see if a class-action lawsuit against Nintendo is possible. This would mean that all Switch owners experiencing the issue could potentially get a settlement if they were to win the possible case.
This wouldn’t be the first class-action lawsuit in the gaming ecosystem. When Sony was hacked way back in 2011, they lost a class action lawsuit and offered free PS3 and PSP titles, free themes, free subscriptions to PSN (three months for first comers and one month for those that file later on), free Music Unlimted subscriptions and free SOE Station Cash.
Now I am not entirely sure if this Joy-Con drifting issue is so widespread that a class-action lawsuit is viable. However, everyone who I know that has experienced the issue has told me that Nintendo will work correct the issue if they are returned. Yet, that still costs money to ship them in.

Mario350 dont understand how everyone but me and my friends and a few others i met never had this issue with their switch but have this issue with the xbox controller and playstation controllers wheres their lawsuits?
legit i dont understand how people break their thumbsticks on any controllers and mine still work since day one minus the xbox one controller which was a pre owned console, so microsoft and sony should be sued as well for the same issue, as i had a broken right analog on a 360 4days after owning it
also can i join the lawsuit since nintendo failed to provide the shipping info and box for me to send my instent dying joycons in for a battery change? because my joycons only last an hour on a 5hour game time when my friends last a whole 8hours but mine only an hour to sometimes as low as 30minutes even on a full charge and sometimes they dont charge
I think if your xbox or playstation controller is drifting you can take it back for either a refund replacment or store credit depending where you bought it from probably only if it was a retail store, i have done it in the past bought a controller less than 1 week later it started drifting and i didnt even game much in that time and normally my controllers take between 6 months to 1 year for that to happen, so i took it back to the store they asked if i had warrenty i said no but you sold me a faulty product can you give me a replacment, they had to get a manager i explained to him showed the receipt and he got me a replacment he understood the struggle he was a gamer too lol

It's because those "defective" joy sticks are from the user not the manufacturer

MushroomElmAnime Always a lawsuit going on seems.
Over a slightly broken product, it makes sense. Bad hardware in the hands of millions of people and Nintendo isn't addressing it. Sounds like a lawsuit is the only way.
For a gamer, it's fairly annoying when your character moves on its own because the system thinks the joystick is moving.
Never had that issue I think it's todler problem
