I mean, the switch is an excellent console. The only problem imo is the weak wireless strength of the joycons. That's the only issue I've had since I got mine in like 2019.

I'd still feel better owning a steam deck though

It changed gaming. The steam deck probably doesn't happen without the switch. It clearly demonstrated the market for a handheld that manages large scale 3D games with complex mechanics.

But the joycons suck at more than connectivity. Straight out of the box those joysticks are fucking terrible, and they degrade hard and fast.

Ya I guess I have luck. I have 4 sets and no issues in the 3-5 years I've had them

I'm not just talking about the drift. The actual intended product is ludicrously imprecise out of the box.

I honestly don't know how. Any non Nintendo 3D game it's instantly super obvious. And any game at all it's obvious if you just try to navigate a menu with it.

They make the $10 Chinese junk alternates look amazing by comparison.
