VK's Channel explains that drift is caused when the metal plate inside of the Joy-Con becomes separated from the stick, affecting its accuracy and resulting in drift. The fix requires nothing more than a small piece of cardboard, about 1mm thick, placed neatly inside of the controller. VK's Channel posted a video showing how they fixed their own Joy-Con, and it seems to have worked.

However, Nintendo has barely acknowledged that drift is a real issue, let alone offered up a fix. There have been reports of the Switch's Joy-Con controllers suffering from drift since 2017, and lawsuits in place since 2019. All of this despite having an issue that has plagued the console since it first launched. It has surpassed 85 million units sold and could well further its claim to the crown via the release of the OLED model later this year. Nintendo's Switch is on route to becoming the company's best-selling home console of all time. The controllers attach to the Switch console via side rails using a locking mechanism, with a small release button on their rear face to allow them to be detached. A YouTuber claims to have found a fix for the Nintendo Switch's Joy-Con drift using nothing more than a very small piece of cardboard. The Nintendo Switch comes with two controllers, collectively called Joy-Con and individually called the 'Joy-Con L' and 'Joy-Con R'.
