As someone who has 6 controllers with a stick drift and games maybe 6 hours a week I'm never ever buying a device that is succeptible to this issue. My 3bitdo ultimate 2 is holding so well now and its like 40$ - crazy that a new 450++ usd device can't do that.

Pretty disappointing stuff, especially concerning the potential for joystick drift and the gluing of the battery. If they haven't fixed drift I think I have no choice but to skip this generation.
Oh my fucking GODDDDDD IT’S BEEN ONE DAY!!!!! CAN PEOPLE JUST PLAY NINTENDO IN FUCKING PEACE FOR ONE GODDAMN WEEK!!!!!! I swear to GOD shut the fuck up!!!!!!!!!!! Like it’s been a DAY, don’t fucking tell me there’s drifting problems BULLSHIT
Oh my fucking godddd! Why do people tell me fast food is unhealthy!!!
Oh my fucking goddddd! Why does doomscrolling make me bad!!!!
Oh my fucking godddd!!! Shut up!!! Consume the slop until you die!!!! Please!!! Deliver value to the shareholders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS GOOD FOR YOU!
Can't fathom wanting less information about the products I buy
I can in cases where you already bought the product. Fanboys are a thing for a reason.
Congratulations! This is officially Lemmys first and very own Leave Britney alone! moment.
Edit: With the only difference being, that person was right. You’re not.
Yes, only CONSUME!
Don't expect your $600 device to be well constructed or repairable!
Repairability is important to me in things I buy. I'm glad iFixit get that information out quickly so I can decide to avoid or buy a thing better informed
Just out of curiosity how often do you end up actually repairing things?
Like I also factor repairs into my purchase choices but anymore I don’t remember the last thing I worked on that was an electronic. I did get a broken tractor up and running but it was “free” so that barely counts.
The reason I’m asking is I have this conflicting value versus my actual actions.
Hobby tinkerers are their source of income, but Ifixit is mostly used by repair shops. It's a great synergy.
I repair a lot of my stuff, but bear in mind repairability isn't just 'can I fix it', but 'can anyone', which includes repair shops.
The ideal easiest repair should only require a screwdriver and a replacement part.
Moderate may need soldering and some experience.
Worst case, all you can do is bin the whole product or find an expert, if it's worth it.
(just broad examples thinking consumer electronics)
I've done various things from PS controllers to wireless earphones.
Not having shit glued, providing spare parts, making considerations during internal design all make huge difference in how easy and likely to succeed a repair is.
My wife's car? Replaced a few parts over the decade we've owned it.
My old truck? Replaced several major parts over the 2 decades I owned it.
Computers? Most of my parts replaced are upgrades, but I've replaced a laptop keyboard, a cpu heatsink fan, a power supply, a case, two hard drives, and a dial up modem from a lightning strike all on PCs I've personally owned over the course of 30 years that I can remember. I also did warranty repair work for Dell, HP, and Lenovo/IBM in my time as a tech. So many laptop and desktop mainboards...
Don't sell yourself short. Fixing up a tractor that was free only costs you the time and parts you invested into it. You saved something from being junked and having to buy a working tractor. That alone is worth the endeavor.
Oh yeah no selling myself short I’ve been bragging about the tractor non stop in real life. Huge deal saved tons of money. And it’s an antique John Deere so it’s really cool. I shared the story so that people here would realize I was being sincere.
I think I have personally fixed my last three phones, my current one is so far undamaged. I'm clumsy and break phone screens too often.
I have kept old fishing gear in service where my friends replace their gear every few years.
I did maintenance and mechanical repair on my cars before they went electric.
My computer keyboard is currently on "the healing bench" waiting for the correct size LEDs, as I destroyed the LED for a key role replacing its switch
I really hate throwing stuff out when a minor but vital part is broken.
Better repairability also makes repair cheaper if you pay someone to do it
They’re just saying “hey look this isn’t more repairable and probably expect drift to happen.”
It gets even better. People are already reporting dead pixels and drift on select models and had to return them. And the staples haha.
The good news is that they are everywhere now so its very easy to find one. Scalpers are crying :) Parts will be cheap given the number of devices out there.
The games look fun, i look forward to playing it in a year or two when they fix the bugs, prices go down, and/or when I can get to the end of my PC games.
Well it's Nintendo, so don't expect the prices to go down. They don't really do that
All my life it has. Its just called "used". Bought the first pokemon for less than 10$. If you wait long enough, almost everything goes down in price.
