Hi, so my switch lite has finally succumbed to joycon drift 🥲
I got it in March 2020 and it’s just started to get minor drift in the left joystick.

What should I do now? Is it going to get worse? Is there anything I can do to stop it getting worse?
 
Is Nintendo still allowing folks to mail them their switches for a free joycon drift fix? If so, I'd either do that, or you can buy kits on amazon and fix it yourself if you feel comfortable.

My joysticks on my switch lite barely worked so my partner used the calibrate control sticks option under settings and now they work much better. Might be an option you can try.

Interesting. My Switch Lite is like that too. I'll give that a try as well.

I think the reason I didn't get a switch lite was this, because I remember my friend having one and he said to just get a regular switch so I didn't have to get a whole new system, but at the time I didn't know you could just calibrate the control sticks so ig that's why I didn't get one.
