Nintendo can fix the left Jon-Con issues with - er - foam

After the Switch released a few weeks ago there were several smaller problems circulating the internet, as was expected. From screen scratches to blown pixels, and the most common of all - the left Joy-Con sync issues.

According Mr. Hollister over at CNET however it looks like Nintendo may be accepting the fact that things aren't quite right as they start fixing faulty Joy-Cons with a very simple hack.

Unfortunately, as most people feared, the issue is hardware-related, so no amount of waiting for a patch to come out will ever stop Link from walking psychopathically off a cliff. Instead, it looks like contacting customer services is the way to go.

Despite Nintendo suggesting you were too close to your fishtank or that you should stop playing your Switch near the microwave, the fix was almost unbelievably simple: conductive foam.

Hollister took a photo comparison between the untouched and fixed models, and noted that the only difference was in fact a tiny piece of foam in the lower right hand corner.

Let's just hope the others experiencing the same issue will be getting the same service, especially if the fix is so simple.
