Calibrate Your Nintendo Switch Controllers

The weak point of the Nintendo Switch is the occurrence of Joy-Con drift, a problem resulting from the internal joystick mechanisms wearing down, leading to unintended inputs and involuntary movement of your character or camera.

While this issue can be a significant nuisance during gameplay, there is a potential solution, especially if the problem is not severe. You can recalibrate your Joy-Cons or any other problematic controller. Navigate to your settings, choose Controllers and Sensors, and then click on Calibrate Control Sticks. The Switch will walk you through the recalibration process, offering temporary relief from the drift issue, at least for a while.
