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.

Just try not to get fakes that are just the normal garbage with drift

Why didn't you just get a better controller? You would have saved yourself a lot of time, effort, and probably money.

I’m not in the US, so the options I had here were either expensive or didn’t have any reviews.

I’ve been wanting a steamdeck for some time and that is what pushed me to get one.

A lot of modern controllers are really ass tbh. I still use a wired usb xbox 360 controller. Doesn't work on Switch without modding/hacking/emulating.

[–] shadow@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 10 months ago

I'm also in the "my USB Xbox 360 controller is great" camp and wish that they still made them

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You are stuck two decades ago in time. There are plenty of good to great controllers. Shit, there's multiplatform controllers that work perfectly and have all the bells and whistles and gyros that first party controllers have.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

True, I bet there good ones out there, but I have no need to replace it yet.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

But you'll complain about using twenty year old technology anyways, and make up nonsense about current tech. Ok.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm complaining about manufacturers cheaping out, not the age of the tech I'm using.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

But you are wrong. A lot of modern controllers are not ass. The Switch controllers are. That's it.
