    Hardware Hall Effect sensor joycon sticks on Amazon

    Multiple new options appearing for Hall effect sticks, @AKNES any plans to carry other brands? Waiting on the newest k-silver without the fly wire, the 42K0 I have no idea who makes them officially but they feel oddly similar to Gulikits offering. They have no gap and the caps do not come off...

    Someone find Ajit Pai and take a leak in his oversized Reese’s Mug

    Hardware Hall Effect sensor joycon sticks on Amazon

    Thanks for sharing that info, I had never considered over tightening the screws. I am in the U.S. and usually turn to GameStop to just trade in joy cons with issues and take the now $6 refurb fee.

    Hardware Hall Effect sensor joycon sticks on Amazon

    It’s good to learn about repairing, I can understand that. But Nintendo doesn’t care the age or the issue, it will be replaced with a new joy con.

    Hardware Hall Effect sensor joycon sticks on Amazon

    If you are in a country where Nintendo does free repairs I would advise going that route, I’ve seen this on joy cons where the antenna was getting smushed by the shell, pushing the wire further down has fixed it or sometimes the antenna itself just needs replaced.

    Hardware Hall Effect sensor joycon sticks on Amazon

    @AKNES the cables on the Joy Con sticks are longer, minor issue. Not sure if there was a specific reason, I really liked the shorter cables as now they are harder to install. Here is a photo showing what I am referencing. Overall not a big deal, but if you all have any say in the actual design...

    Broken Nintendo Joy Cons Pay for Your Gaming and More

    45 total, you give an email for each repair so I’m assuming they track by this or maybe address, not sure but they do track it. I received an email at box 45 stating the repair process was for consumers only. Calling Nintendo to get additional information let me know they had flagged my...

    Broken Nintendo Joy Cons Pay for Your Gaming and More

    Exactly I was doing this as a broader project of personal interest on how gaming companies handle repairs, after about 30 boxes Nintendo starts sending your repairs to a specific area of the building, after about 45 boxes or 90 pairs they classify you as a business and cut you off entirely...

    Can anyone tell me what all the Chans exist, where I can access them and which ones are offline?

    I think most common chans are 4 and 8. There are other less commonly used spin offs you can find via Google, nothing really good coming out of these sites. You can’t access 55chan through 55chan you are looking for 27chan to access it.

    Broken Nintendo Joy Cons Pay for Your Gaming and More

    Haha I can see that with the title, I could have chosen something better! Honestly time wise you can ship Monday and have them back Friday, not always, but most of the time turnaround is immediate and they use two day shipping. I’m sure it depends on where you live but the process is fast! The...

    Occasionally Boots after Motherboard Swap

    Swapped motherboards between two v1 units. The switch now sometimes boots, the switch was in pretty rough shape so it could be a pre existing issue before swapping. Someone had gone ham and totally destroyed the sd card slot so it’s very possible the motherboard had other damage. I wish I had...

    Broken Nintendo Joy Cons Pay for Your Gaming and More

    I totally agree, I was actually able to gather some really interesting data over the years, just going off repair order numbers they average 450,000 repairs a year in the US. Joy cons can go two pairs in a box, but say we took it for one pair for each repair order at a retail price of 79.99 for...

    Initial Mig Switch flashcart units now available and being tested by reviewers

    The Mig Switch isn’t in the hands of anyone yet other than a select few. Once it actually ships to everyone you will start seeing files, until then probably nothing. Also assuming Nintendo doesn’t find a way to mess with the supply chain for the product. Being even easier than before, I expect a...
