Consumer watchdog Which? has urged Nintendo to provide a compensation option to buyers that have experienced Joy-Con drift.
In a new study, the organisation tested five pairs of Joy-Cons sourced from consumers, alongside the base Switch console model. All five sets had drift issues, with the left stick affected the most.
The laboratory test found several manufacturing issues, dust and other contaminants were found inside the controller despite dustproofing cowls on the joysticks. It also said that the drift issue was likely caused in part by noticeable wear on the joystick slider contact points.
