people with early switches are saying that controller input on the switch is being disrupted by stuff getting between the sensors on the joycon and the console...

the bluetooth issue sounds super annoying

guy on neogaf posted:

I measured how far my couch is from the dock and it's exactly 8 feet. Which begs me to believe 8ft is the sweet spot. Because the closer I get the less wonky the controls get.

I did numerous tests just now with different configurations, docked, tabletop, 6 feet, 10 feet, covering the joycon, uncovering it. What I found is hat obviously the further you get the less responsive they become. However the only really weird outlier in my testing was simply sitting 6 feet away, lounging with my hands to my side, neither joy con covered, and yet still after some time the sensing would just get completely wonky. Sitting about 4 feet away I noticed that if my hands are by my side but pointing at the screen everything's perfect but as soon as I drop my hands to a more comfortable position, the calibration once again gets weird and has a few dead spots. If I put the joycon behind my back for example, then the party's over. There's barely ever any response or all the inputs are delayed. That one is more understandable I guess since it correlates to the gamexplain video, but doesn't at all explain why it's still messing up 6 feet away when simply lounging.

I also opted to try some of these variables with the grip since I figured the grip would force me to point the joycon more so at the tv/dock but surprisingly I found out that it too had some issues. I tried holding the controller in many different ways, all comfortable ways like I imagined I would hold it if I'm playing for a long period of time. Simply holding the grip in front of me seems to work just fine, however if I decide to bring the grip up to my chest (for example when I'm laying down) so that the buttons are facing it and that the top of the controller is facing my face, it completely stops working. Right joycon can still rotate the camera but link simply won't move. So the position of the joycon seems to really play a large part in how it's detected.

Like, just now I put my phone down after reading some responses, picked up the grip with the joycon attached (I'm laying down on my couch) and I'm holding the controller very normally upright with the face buttons facing me and the top of the controller facing the ceiling, you know, a completely normally way to hold a controller, and in a menu I've already had it not register two of my inputs and three of them were delayed.

though to be honest, if I'm ever further than 8 feet from my Switch, it should send for help because I'm being kidnapped or robbed

I dunno, my Wii U gamepad gradually died on me and lost range until I opened it up and replaced the little wifi board. Might just be poor quality control and not a design flaw.

Im pretty sure it uses bluetooth. Modern bluetooth can be very odd, it tries to lower power consumption by dynamically changing broadcast power. Maybe that has something to do with it? At any rate it is a simple fix.

Ninty has already responded (internally) and say it'll be fixed by release so I'm guessing they can just boost the bluetooth power via a patch. I feel like they just got a bit greedy trying to tout something like 20hrs battery life from the joy cons or something. Weird that no one really noticed it as a problem until the retail units started going out.
