    You know why I played the games on yuzu? It’s because the joycons suck and they are expensive to replace.

    I did the stick drift repair on my own, but the L and R buttons are soldiered to the main board so it can’t be repaired.

    I bought a right joycon on its own and then the next week the left joycon had the same issue.

    I wasn’t going to spend about $90 for an unreliable controller when an entire steamdeck costs $500.

    It really paints the picture that the controllers are way over priced how can they alone be 20% the cost of the entire steamdeck.

    If Nintendo made decent joycons, then I would not be using Yuzu.

    Additionally, I dumped my own games and keys, so they got their money and through some effort, I got a better experience.

    I’d like to add that the joycons were not heavily used either.

      Joycon drift is the main reason why I stopped playing my switch.

      Unfortunately, PS5 controllers have the same issue. Slightly cheaper, but same exact shitty parts for the joystick. Going to try aftermarket (with serviceable parts) for my next one.

      Not for you since you’ve exited the Switch, but for anyone else with stick drift: Gulikit makes replacement hall effect joycon sticks that do not drift. Easy to replace and inexpensive.

      Your situation is not applicable to why the lawsuit exists.

      It’s the idiots that pirated and leaked TOTK a week before the release date that gave Nintendo ammunition for this case. As a result, everybody who is using Yuzu legitimately will suffer for it.
