Name a single feature you’d like to see in a Switch 2 (lemm.ee)

This is a weird one, but I’d love to see a reimplementation of the sensor bar. The gyro controls haven’t cut it for me. I like how the Wii U game pad had the sensor bar built in to the bezel. The real engineering nightmare would be squeezing IR cameras into the top of the Joycon

I agree that the joycons suck. On the upside, I replaced the sticks on both of mine for approximately $20 with parts on Amazon. Came with the screwdrivers and everything. Each one took about 20 minutes. I’m not forgiving Nintendo for making bad controllers, but being so easy to repair for so cheap… it’s worth doing it yourself just so you can play TotK.

Piggybacking on this comment to say you can get hall effect joysticks for barely more than standard ones!

Got a link to those? I preemptively bought some sticks 2 years ago or so and I'm finally getting drift on my launch day joycons.

If I can buy Hall effect sticks and do this just once I'll buy those.

Sure thing!

This kit came with the screw drivers you need and even some replacement screws if you lose any. The instructions weren't super clear, but there are tons of tutorials on taking apart joycons on youtube.

Awesome thanks. Purchased. I'll be happy to do the repair just once.
