Nintendo says Joy-Con connectivity issues have been fixed at manufacturing

Soon after the Switch launched, a small number of owners complained about the left Joy-Con losing its connection when undocked from the console, to which Nintendo replied, “It’s not our fault.”

The company initially said placing a Switch near a wireless device, metal object, or aquarium may interfere with the Joy-Con’s spotty connection. Now that a fix has been determined, you should be able to play next to your fish without issue.

It’s unclear what the “manufacturing variation” was, but the fix may be super easy

According to a CNET’s Sean Hollister, who sent in his left Joy-Con to be repaired, the turnaround to fix it took Nintendo about a week, though your mileage may vary. Amazingly, it looks like all Nintendo did was place a small piece of conductive foam inside the controller.

If you’re experiencing the issue, contact Nintendo to see if you’re eligible for a repair. Whatever you decide to do, now’s as good a time as any to remind you that investing in Nintendo’s Pro Controller is a good idea.
