    Didn’t they already do that like 10 years ago? In the US they didn’t do a recall per se but they offered to replace them for free.

      No, not “and replace the damn things with ones that don’t get fucked after only a few months of use.” They replaced them with them same things.

      Also the Switch came out 9 years ago…

          Don’t forget the Switch 2 also uses potentiometer sticks again. Not Hall Effect or TMR. Supposedly because the magnets for the joycons cause issues… Even though there was definitely more complaints and issues with sticks than the slide rails on the first version so switching to magnets for the joycon connections wasn’t necessary at all.

          And other controllers with magnetic connections don’t have issues with their Hall Effect or TMR sticks.
