The new updates Nintendo Switch and Joy-Cons on Nintendo Switch Lite can be huge for players. Since its release in 2017, it has been praised almost all over the world. However, there has been one major problem since its launch, which is Joy-Con drift. Stick drift issues aren’t unique to Nintendo Switch.
