>There is an issue if either controller is too heavily obstructed, and the left-side controller definitely appears to have a weaker connection than its sibling. Each Joy-Con loses signal once covered completely with your hands, or put behind your back. Even at two metres, the left Joy-Con's connection starts to break up when held obstructed, leaving a choppier circular movement on the calibration screen. Keeping it in that position, that progresses to a more erratic signal at three metres, and practically no connection at six metres. But pointing the control forward again, it works again immediately.

>connection gets bad at two meters away >connection is less stable at three >connection ends at six damn, I won't be able to stand across the room and play my switch guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and sit relatively near my console when I play it
Leo Clark
>still posting this Just don't cover the controller fully with your hands, simple. Why you'd put them behind your back is beyond me. I have the same problem with the DS4 if something gets in the way of the lightbar.
Robert Thomas
Are you fucking kidding me? I can't play with my HANDS BEHIND MY BACK?
The connect gets shotty at more than 8 meters away if the controllers aren't pointed at the screen?
WHAT A FUCKING DISASTER!!!!! Seriously, when will these situations ever be relevant?
Alexander Perry
why again would I play the game with the controllers behind my back 20 feet away from the screen?

>Console launches with a major hardware flaw
>WELL JUST DONT DO THAT THING AND ITS FINE THE SWITCH IS GREAT PLEASE STOP MAKING NINTENDO LOOK BAD
Yeah, thats not how it works.
Lucas Edwards
>Not laying like a shackled prisoner in the corner of the room with the controller behind your back while playing video games
Are you new to video games? I guess the Nintendo Switch really wasn't meant for hardcore gamers like myself.
Jordan Carter
>2 meters
that's 6.4 feet
Zachary Hall
>>Console launches with a major hardware flaw
I guess you better send your PS4 back then because the same shit happens when the lightbar is obstructed.
Don't play with the controllers behind your back from 20 feet away and you'll be fine. Seriously guys, media outlets post negative reviews because it eventually becomes impossible to get traffic with positive reviews.
fucking grow apair.
Daniel Morgan
that's 6.4 feet
(( with the controller behind your back pointed away from the screen))
Isaiah Rivera
and at 3 meters your hand is enough
William Cruz
I can play my PS4 lying on the couch and have my hand over the armrest with the controller
Cooper Sanders
May be unavoidable issue with controllers so small you can shield them entirely with your body (water is amazing at blocking rf).
Joshua Morris
Read the OP again. 2 meter unobstructed
Ian Wilson
oh god, guess I better not try to play the game with my right hand in front of the left joycon. Holy shit you people and your non issues.
WIRELESS SIGNALS CAN BE INTERRUPTED? ALERT DONALD TRUMP

Who has 6 meters between themselves and the TV? How big is your living room?
Aiden Wright
I know you're trying to be sarcastic, but it's a problem.
Kevin Lee
I can take your average wireless controller, go 20 feet away, have a concrete/brick wall between me and the device and have connection
you gotta hold these controllers with the tips of your fingers
Andrew Harris
If you slot it into the controller thing, wouldn't it work just fine? Since your hands would naturally not obstruct it. Or does the joycon holder obstruct it as well? Because that would be terrible.
I mean from their tests, it only seems if you are obstructing the signal does it not work. I'd need to try it for myself, but it seems like it's easy to leave the controller unobstructed.
Jacob Foster
>go 20 feet away, have a concrete/brick wall between me and the device and have connection
How's your gaming quality at 20 feet? Is your TV 30 feet tall or something? At the worst you're saying Nintendo cut a "feature" that's not actually a feature at all.
David Carter
I just dismantled your argument about it being expected or something because muh wireless signals can't go past 2 meters
this thing has signal problems after two meters
Jaxson White
while other controllers don't have any problems even in extreme conditions
Dominic Gomez
Anybody middle-class and up, actually. I've never seen a living room that wasn't >pair of couches arranged at a right angle >table in front of both >large open floor space >entertainment center
Daniel Jackson
Not everyone lives in a closet user-kun
Ayden Martin
>I can take your average wireless controller, go 20 feet away, have a concrete/brick wall between me and the device and have connection
Yea, because those aren't motion controllers retard. Go obstruct your WII motion bar and tell me how well it works.
Holy shit guys, NON ISSUE
Ethan Morales
Are you implying that those fucksticks attached to the Switch are motion controlled?
You're a funny nigger.
Wyatt Wright
>I just dismantled your argument about it being expected or some
Actually, you made an irrelevant point.
Mason Lee
wii controller is like a TV remote in that it relies partially on IR, the controller receives light from the wii sensor bar, it's a tech limitation, light doesn't really pass things
William Clark
but user, they actually have motion controls
Jaxson Turner
arent the joycons $80
theres no excuse for something so expensive to have bad hardware/wireless
Eli Thomas
>Are you implying that those fucksticks attached to the Switch are motion controlled?
Yes
Charles Harris
do you think that joy-cons work through a visual connection?
Asher Anderson
WAHOO
Samuel Hughes
>Go obstruct your WII motion bar and tell me how well it works. Even without a sensor bar, Wiimotes will not disconnect. The sensor bar is needed for motion controls only, and even then, only pointer controls.
Having an obstructed sensor bar, or no sensor bar, removes one function from the controller. It does not make it disconnect entirely.
Jacob Perry
admit your comparison with a standard wireless controller is wrong and stop trying to change the topic kid.
Tyler Moore
not trying to make this problem sound irrelevant, but why would anyone with a TV that size sit that far back if they're using it alone? does this man enjoy leaning forward and squinting?
Leo Ward
this is a wireless controller that does not rely on IR, it works thought bluetooth like the PS4 controller does
the PS4 controller works just fine at 2 meters even if ocluded
Cooper Myers
guys
what if this was all intended, to sell more pro controllers?
marketing types are scumbags
Justin Thomas
how bad is your eyesight? that's like a 50'' telly and he's like 8 feet away
Carter Jackson
Doesn't look like he's that far... Like, it's a couple meters at most.
Kayden Sanchez
Do it again with the switch in shot.
Lincoln Stewart
are you retarded? that's a normal distance between your TV and your couch
Robert Morris
>those 2D dust clouds This is my first time seeing this game, but kek
James Mitchell
Are you living in a South Korean flat or something?
Jose Nelson
it's on the right side of the telly, clearly visible
Michael Parker
maybe living in shitty college dorms for so long has gotten me used to smaller rooms, but surely you'd want your TV to take up more of your field of view than that
Justin Fisher
right hand side of the TV you blind nintendrone
Oliver Rivera
Not an issue in handheld mode with the joy-cons attached.
So this isn't actually an issue for anyone since most will use it in handheld mode.
Alexander Ward
Well thats kind of a bummer, sounds like I won't be able to play with the joycons in each hand while laying on a couch with a blanket
Austin Bell
It says obstructed actually.
Brody Nelson
Nintendo fanboys are sounding more like Apple fanboys every day.
Wyatt Harris
I have a 55' TV at my house and my sofa is like at least 2 meters away from the TV, the distance in that webm is similar to how me and my housemates put down our shitty 30 incher
Noah Johnson
this is the only post that's actually made me care
