The Joy-Cons are painted in two different shades of blue, with intricate golden patterns and triforce symbols below each Joy-Con. The right Joy-Con is based around the design of the Master Sword, featuring the same colors as the hilt, as well as iconography. The left Joy-Con, on the other hand, is the same shade of blue as the Hylian Shield, and features the familiar Hylian Crest. the Joy-Con drift may still exist regardless, but I am super happy with Nintendo for their repair services! The Nintendo Switch continues to be a massive hit more than six years after its launch. It's a console that's perfect for use at home or when you're on the go. One of the cleverest elements of the Switch's design are the Joy-Con--detachable controllers that amplify the hybrid nature of this hardware. That detachable focus also gives the Switch a highly-customizable format, one that Nintendo has capitalized on over the years with special-edition console bundles and unique controller color schemes. Ofc, half the people in the comments blame it on u not taking care if your stuff, when mine is immaculate. I have sold many used games & system on cheapassgamer.com & have a perfect reputation, things like a ps2, GameCube & other systems & hardware, so to think i just all of a sudden decided to treat my Switch differently is absurd. I still have a perfectly working launch Xbox one & a ps4 that came out less than 1 yr after launch w original controllers that work great. I think 1 issue is the joycons are attached to the system,,which needs to be in an open space to vent properly, but my other controllers are put up, in a closed box so just can't get on them,,when I'm not using them. If Nintendo was honest about this issue early, i would have kept the joycons with them, so no dust particles could get in the controller (it doesn't take much it seems to cause drift). By the time it was finally admitted by Nintendo, in the form of free repairs, i had long sold my joycons & had only used pro controller until i finally got hori split pad pro after release & the even better C25 joycons. I didn't play in handheld much until the last 6 months or so, so i didn't need replacements then.

Announced on January 12, 2021, this third red controller variant (after the "Neon Red" originals and the "Red" Joy-Con set that accompanied the launch of Super Mario Odyssey) was only sold in a bundle with the standard Nintendo Switch console (and not part of Japan's custom color program), making it a new special edition Joy-Con rather than a standalone color variety.

Fellow YouTuber Erica Griffin responded to this, noting how it's apparently been a "good while" since these "foam pads" have been in the Joy-Con, but they won't necessarily resolve the drift issues: Joycon where the fix was applied when it was new: starts to drift because of wear after 2,5 years, effectively cutting lifespan in half compared to the pro controller. tntswitchfan68 If something has a design flaw it doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to fail for every single user. For example, the Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death was a widespread problem, but didn't occur on every 360 - same with the YLOD on PS3.tntswitchfan68 it’s not your fault if dust breaks controllers within 6 months, that’s faulty hardware design as controllers should be built to withstand dust far more than the joy cons do. Also like I said before it’s not like everyone just suddenly stopped taking care of their consoles with the switch, I guarantee you 90% of switch owners treat it the same way as any other console however while those consoles (include previous Nintendo consoles) can last years without drift in the same conditions, while the switch can’t. Finally, like you said no one lives in a dust free environment, you’ve got to remember this consoles being marketed towards children who I guarantee you don’t treat the switch in your optimal conditions because at the end of the day people want to actually use their switch. It’s down to the poor build quality that the joy cons drift because no matter how much you want to blame dust it’s still completely unacceptable that the joy cons are often worn away in the first year of having them, dust resistance is obviously a basic function in other controllers so why isn’t it in joy cons? That to me says the joy cons are built poorly which ultimately makes the issue Nintendo’s faulted the joy cons weren’t built with a basic function in mind Join Link in his emotional quest to save Zelda, a childhood friend who must confront her destiny.

The fact that Nintendo were repairing them for free in the US outside the warranty period suggests it wasn't an issue with user misuse.

The Joy-Con straps have patterns of blue shades found on the hilt of Master Sword and on Fi's legs. Additionally, the Joy-Con strap attached to the Joy-Cons is a shade of white similar to the rim of the Hylian Shield seen on the box design below. Box DesignThe box features the limited edition Joy-Cons, together with an image of the Master Sword and the Hylian Shield, the classic Legend of Zelda equipment in which these Joy-Cons are modeled after. The side of the box contains images of the Joy-Cons together with their wrist straps. Features tntswitchfan68 Wow, victim blaming huh? I have hundreds of controllers that have got filled with dust and still work perfectly fine. My Joy Cons I've ALWAYS been careful with, and both of my pairs STILL DRIFTED multiple times. And even then, dust is EVERYWHERE, so Nintendo should have made a controller that's much more dust resistant, but nah, just blame the fans for not "taking care of the controllers" even though there's almost no damn way to avoid this problem because everyone has dust in their house of some capacity, and the controllers should have some sort of resistance against dust in the first place, like, notice how little people complained about the PS4, Xbox, Wii U, Wii, or even Switch Pro Controller drifted, because those cases aren't as bad/widespread as with the Joy Cons.
