After the announcement of Nintendo Switch Lite, players immediately noticed that the iconic Joy-Cons are missing. This information trembled users of Nintendo Switch around the world. Since a long-time, users were encountering a problem with the analog stick. The problem was ranging from slipping, drifting, wobbling, and locking stick. Sometimes the stick stopped functioning altogether.
But this problem did not stop players from buying the game console, and the company shipped more than 34 million units of the Nintendo Switch as of March 31, 2019. Joy-Cons have received a negative reputation. There are numerous YouTube videos that teach you how to fix the issues surrounding the analog stick.
That is why Nintendo Switch Lite has now managed to fix the issues surrounding the analog stick, which is going to be very expensive for end consumers. Earlier when the users got the problem with the analog stick, they could replace it. But they can not do this now with Switch Lite because the analog stick is permanently attached with the unit itself. If now analog stick creates a problem, then users have to replace the whole unit, which is not cheap.
If you buy a pair of Joy-Con controller, you have to pay $80. It could be free if you find a solution on the YouTube tutorial. Following a YouTube tutorial is very different as compared to replacing the Switch Lite hardware, meaning users have to buy a new console for $200.
