Is there a guide on this anywhere? I read Nintendo fixed the d pad on the xenoblade controller so I was waiting for them to do it on the regular ones soon

I did my own d pad fix on the actual switch and it's absolutely amazing




drat. They should have called it Molest

this looks cool but how do you use it in single joycon mode... lol jk

Nintendo needs to stop all console development, dismantle their entire company, and race to the bottom of the iOS store making 99 cent apps! I'm a big man at Forbes I know what I'm talking about.

I tested that and surprisingly it works just fine.

The xenoblade controller is evidently only marginally better and a lot of people say it still misreads inputs all the time.

This guy has images that show the problem area and recommend a fix of just putting two pieces of scotch tape.



When I fixed mine I painted over the contacts with a clear acrylic more or less over the areas shaded red in that image and placed a little square of 7mil electrical tape over the center bump where the pad rests. That elevates the center of the dpad enough that it makes it feel a little more clicky and that you need to commit a little bit more to trigger a press because you feel that extra fraction of travel.


E: one thing I didn't see mentioned in that link is that there are a couple of ribbon cables you need to watch out for when you take it apart. The cable for the shoulder buttons is super thin. I'm sure there's a thousand teardown videos promising to reveal nintendo's secret message on youtube.

Thanks for posting this! I did it and found it wasn't registering like 20% of my d pad presses so I found a reddit thread that said to not go past that little indent line thing and now it works fantastic!

i wish i was a child on summer vacation for BOTW because its really hard to pry myself away from it, there's just always something interesting around the corner. you make a plan to head to a shrine or tower and on the way you spot a suspicious hill or building, and from there you spot a lonely lake or notice youre near a big skull-shaped building on the map, etc. and then 4 hours flew by

I have over 200 hours in breath of the wild and I just found the fourth fairy fountain last week

I've been finding out recently my interest in a game isn't how many hours long I play it but just how long I play it for

Which explains why I could play 200 hour JRPGs over a summer but over an entire year I'm just like lol gently caress this

Yeah, before you make the fix the pro controller is really good, but after it's definitely the best controller you can buy. I like it way more than either the ds4 or xbox elite for pc. The only thing I'd change would be to add analog triggers or just two step triggers, but that's really only for playing Super Mario Sunshine and Luigi's Mansion, and you can use L as a modifier for zl/zr so it's still fine for gamecube emulation.
