Here's your controller bro

>here's your controller bro

>oh shit i lost it

That looks odd? I see the plus goes on the opposite end of the minus like a battery but it doesn't look right.

I accidentally put that strap thing on like that once. It was a bitch to get off, I thought I was going to break the thing.

It's on backwards. There's a minus on the other side that you're supposed to line up with the minus on the controller. The reason there's also a plus on it is because they're designed to go on either controller as long as you put it on the right way.

th-thanks...

>matching minus with minus and plus with plus

They should have chosen a different symbol, because literally everywhere else in the world plus and minus go together.

Better yet they should have designed it to work no matter which orientation people chose.

How exactly does the mechanism work so that it gets stuck?

>matching plus with minus

Forget + and -, why did people think the strap would go at the top?

Do people exist who haven't even seen a Wii?

>Better yet they should have designed it to work no matter which orientation people chose.
That would involve child-proofing this children's toy. What, do you think Nintendo is made of money?

Even better yet:

use your brain.

>hey which end of the joy-con do I want the wrist strap to be on?
>the end that's at my wrist or the end pointing towards the TV?
>I wonder!

It doesn't really get stuck that hard, you just have to unlock the little white pin on the bottom.

Ah yes, I'm sure parents will be happy to hear their 6 years old broke his expensive toy because he "didn't use his brain"

>just turn your brain off so you can enjoy the game
>break the controller
muh brain

You can't break the joy-cons by attaching the wrist staps upside down.

Dude why'd you put it on wrong?

I thought the Switch didn't have wicked wagglan sports game like the Wii
Why does it need wrist straps?

So that kids can't accidentally drop their joy-cons in each hand?

When you hold the pad horizontally, "top" is meaningless

Fucking Nintendo.

the wrist strap wouldn't stop them from dropping it or having it slip out of their hand. it just wouldn't hit the floor.
like, its not any more "dangerous" than the wiimote + nunchuk, so whats the big deal
its really tiny? youre worried youll step on it since its about as big as a fun-size twix?
i'd be more worried a kid would accidentally bite the fucking thing playing that stupid burger chomp minigame than have it harmlessly drop 3 feet onto a carpet.

>Here's your controller bro

But then you can't take the straps off, and you can break it if you try.

To be fair, a better feature of the wrist straps is that the attachment makes the Joycon a little bigger (and likely more comfortable to hold for most people) as well as gives it better L/R shoulder buttons.

I got my switch yesterday, the controller is surprisingly nice to the touch.

Is that how to do it?
It looks dumb

I want to believe people are just deliberately doing this to fuck with nintendo and aren't actually retarded.

>having to look at the controller
Proof of shit design. Just saying.

Just like X, pyramid, square and 0

Have you ever put batteries in anything? Minus goes with minus, plus goes with plus.

If Nintendo is stupid enough to put the charge socket on the bottom of the console then they could be stupid enough to have wrist straps pointing towards the tv

You guys will argue about anything. I know being a NEET is boring but damn.

Why is it even possible to put it backwards? That's just a complete failure of design. It's a product for children for fuck sake.

At least you can memorize that shit.

You need blind tier hand sensitivity to feel what symbol the strap has on it.

...

>Holding joycon correctly
>Somehow comes to the conclusion that the strap should be at the top.

I'll never understand.

Maybe they just had too high of expectations from Nintendo to design a product properly.

Has Nintendo actually said anything about this yet?

Except there is clearly a side with shoulder buttons on one end.

They honestly could not have retard proofed these things anymore and yet people are still having these problems. I can see why sony keeps their controllers the same. They know those people can't figure out a new one.

If that boomerang controller would've been in stores I'm sure people would have genuinely thought it was a boomerang and tried to fight kangaroos with it

Nope, because it's pretty easy to get off if you use your brain instead of relying on pure retard strength and tear it off.
But then again, these people had a brain they never would have gotten the damn things stuck in the first place.

I don't think the issue is that you can't see which direction is the correct one, but rather that if you pick the wrong one you're fucked.

Imagine if a USB cable got permanently stuck on a port if you ever inserted it upside down.

>use flat head screwdriver on end to release prongs
>put it back together correctly
>took 5 seconds total to fix
>"No problem, it happens all the time."

I don't even own a Switch, I just saw the video that made fun of the Switch's problems.

Damage control itt

>having to use a fucking screwdriver to fix a issue with their flawed design
it shouldn't even slide on incorrectly in the first place
use that screwdriver to repair your brain

aside from being incredibly small...

>move stick to right

>its now mashing your right thumb on the X button

who designed this garbage

A mechanism to prevent the thing from being able to slide in backwards would be extremely easy to implement though.

It's just straight up bad design with no excuse.

Did they QA this thing at all? It really makes no difference that 'oh there's a plus and a minus so you know to put the plus with the plus and the minus with the minus', you don't make a kid's toy that is so easy for a kid to break

How is yes/no/map/viewpoint bad design?

>Joycons slide at the top of the switch
>Can't put strap at the top of the joycon
Gee, fucking normies

It has ARMS and the straps extend the shoulder buttons when you want to use the joycons as separate controllers.
You can't really play while attaching the strap, so why wouldn't you look at the controller? Just saying.

I play pc games. I've been dealing with major design flaws for decades. This controller flipping shit is like a 2 on the annoyance scale.

It's a bad design for consumer electronics.
It has nothing to do with people being dumb, people are used to just handle electronics absentmindedly. I don't really understand how people can defend this.

>color on strap thing matches the color of the stick/buttons

>color on the back is different

easy solution, you can match colors right?

or, why not design the grooves so its IMPOSSIBLE to slide it in backwards?

Or just straight up ignorance seeing how it explained on the box how to put the straps.

Stop defending stupid people, user

Maybe nintendo had too high expectation of people
