Open a warranty ticket and have Nintendo fix it.

How can Sony even compete?

Should have waited for the V2's or other updated version to come out. New technology always has problems, cuck OP. Be glad it was just a controller and not a new iPhone or something

here's me doing nothing but hold down A

Stop playing after you jerkoff. You're getting jizz in between the buttons and breaking it.

Wash your hands before you play games.

DELETE THIS, NINTENDO CAN DO NO WRONG REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

controller drift is a real bitch

Did you turn on motion controls?

en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22340/~/how-to-calibrate-the-controllers

I had that same problem, somehow motion controls were turned back on and I thought my control stick was broken.

Doesn't excuse the faulty d-pad, but still.

It's Nintendo so you're wrong about critiquing them

I fucking had them on, you just fixed it for me
well this thread was pointless, truly Nintendo can do no wrong

I'm sorry that you got unlucky OP. I'm pretty sure Nintendo does warranty stuff for consoles and controllers so you could try looking into that

Good luck!

Lol.

I had the same issue and I thought my controller was fucked haha. Funny stuff but I'm happy your controller isn't fucked, sucks buying a new controller, pretty much like losing a game

Why is Patrick getting beaten up by ps3 games?

great job nerd

Is the battery meant to only last for 60 minutes before the controller dies?

This just goes to show that 90% of Sup Forums has absolutely no idea why or what they are shitposting about.

Lasts me maybe a few hours. It's not a big deal though. It only takes a second to plug in the usb cord.

Literally
>it's ok when Sony does it

Why didnt you return it or exchange when the d-pad was going to shit?

Are you a retarded or something?
Keep the receipt and file warranty.

If you used a credit card, you have at least one year warranty.

At least the dual shock 4 controller actually comes with the system. You don't have to pay $70 for it. The pro controller is just as good but it's still an additional $70.

I epoxied a 10 foot usb cable to mine.

lol

i am still baffled by people having problems with dpad

Just bumping this thread so people can see what a stupid fucking tard you are.

...

The fact you admitted you were wrong here is pretty admirable, user.
I mean you're still a dummy, but you're an honest one.

>forcefully pushes it down
>"wtf why isn't it standing up D:"

I'm having a problem with my left Joycon control stick. It keeps inputting up even if im not touching it, and when i recalibrate it it goes back to normal for a while but then fucks up again

anyone else have this problem? really don't wanna drop the bones for new joycons. (even though the neon yellow ones make me drool)

If you want an additional controller along side the Switch, which literally is a controller, that's your own problem. I've already had to open up my DS4 to fix R2 and I've only owned the damn thing since whenever BF1 came out last year. And the analogue on R2 is shot now. My brother is on controller 2 he bought ot the same time I did. Exact same issue, his couldnt be fixed by opening it up. DS4 is not good.

I'll pm you the fix

Shoulda gotten the Wii U controller bro

just stand it up and play the fucking game

>get pro controller
>dpad is fine
>left trigger is slightly clickier than right and it's actually driving insane
OCD is a real bitch

it's not that his dpad is going to shit, it's that every pro controller's dpad does that

This is why I sold my Switch and bought instead a PS4 Pro, best purchase of my life.

I hope you're proud of yourself you fucking moron. Someone, somewhere on Sup Forums was probably persuaded not to buy a Switch because of your bullshit thread.

Glad you figured it out and I'm sure you're glad you posted about it on an anonymous cave painting enthusiast bbs.

What games do you play on it?

dpad is still fucking awful

i only watch movies :)

you can buy custom shells for the joycons on ebay don't go buy new ones for new colors, you probably have gunk in it

>a controller you don't need to play the Switch is why you sold your Switch
????????

It's over 90 Canadian. It's 500 for a switch up here, then buying 400 dollars of controllers, and a bunch of 80 dollar games...

Don't be Canadian then?

Typical sonyfags.

Literally everyone on v hates the switch and nintendo in general because playstation and pc can do nothing wrong.
It'll be more shocking if someone doesn't buy a console solely based on the controller.

>translucent plastic

You get points for being honest

Yeah so?

Typical nintenfag

Typical console war fags.

>Sony fans call Switch owners Nintenbros.

>Can't figure out how to play a children's bing bong wahoo racer

Wish more people would do this instead of just leaving the thread.

buy a Dual Shock 4. problem fixed.

>buy the worst controller of the gen
No thank you.

Do Americans not have a 12 month warranty period where they can just take defective goods back to a shop for an exchange or refund?

lmao do you really think americucks consumers baby rights in USA™

They had to fight for Steam refunds, what do you think?

>see this stupid fucking shit? When I push it over, it falls over. WTF! NINTENDOOMED.

Yeah but that would involve shipping things and that's close to work and you don't get to yell on the internet about how outraged you are.

>better d-pad than switch
>better sticks/triggers than xbox elite
>better build quality than either
remind me again how they're the worst?

Kickstand is trash but holy shit that guy is a retard.

t. Guy who plays the Switch for the most part undocked with pro controller

>spend $320 mexican pesos (like $17 USD) on a gamepad
>it just works
>give it to random people to play KoF with me
>they drop it several times
>it still works

>better build quality

Calm your autism kid.

The Joycon don't count as a real controller unless you have literal baby hands. My 3DS is more comfortable than those pieces of shit.

>seling a 300 dollar console to get a 600 dollar console over a 70 dollar controller that you don't need.
Have fun with your no games.

...

Sounds like a faulty controller user, call nintendo and get it fixed/replaced.
Mine is the best controller I've ever used, the only thing that's even close to being better than it is the Wii U pro controller. The xbone one would be better if it didn't use AA batteries and a retarded custom 2.4ghz connection.
The bluetooth enabled one is far better, but should have been like that to begin with.

you've got faulty hands

Nintenbros

>better build quality
>better sticks
>BETTER TRIGGERS
>BETTER DPAD
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH
Great joke user

>still has convex sticks
>shitty battery life
>rubber still degrades into a fine grease if you leave it alone
>triggers have an insane amount of travel compared to competitors
>creaky and feels like a cheap dollar store toy
That's why the DS4 is the worst

>if I want to play Mario Kart I have to constantly battle my kart drifting to the left
You were probably pushing the control stick slightly last time the pad sync'd.

Re-sync the pad and it should be fine.

Glad you fixed it user

Another user chiming in to tell you DS4 is great, you have great tastes.

That's if he's not bullshitting. The d-pad randomly inputting shit for no reason doesn't sound legit.

He had the motion controls on

...

>Spent more than 70 (seventy) CAD for the same controller
>Have had 0 (zero) issues with it

Maybe you (you) got unlucky

I still can't believe it. DS3 battery runs 7 times longer

>already own controller kino
>cant use it

>Using kino unironically

It's a wonder you can operate anything

I don't understand the d-pad meme, the four buttons on the joy con are good enough, and they are very click-ey and feel like a very good replacement for a dpad

what do you even need the pro controller for?

Is this fixed meanwhile or still a thing. Wanted to buy this

>OP admits being wrong instead of going on damage control duty
>Grown adults are having problems with a simplistic feature even children know how to fix.
>This thread is evidence that most anti-nintendo posters here are retarded and or dont know what they are talking about
What the fuck is even happening here anymore christ.

To your credit user, the motion controls (and auto-steer and auto-accelerate) in MK8 Deluxe are hidden away with ambiguous icons and like to turn themselves back on a lot.

YEAH BACK TO THE 90s

It's more of a conventional feeling controller compared to the Joycon+grip attachment. The grip is pretty good but for someone who has been gaming on standard controllers their whole lives (Nes, Snes, Playstation dualshocks, Xbox, etc..), the Pro controller is almost a necessity.

The Pro Controller ranks high among all other controllers. It's only fault (in most opinions), is the D-pad.

I don't get why you're angry at your overpriced $70 controller but not at your useless overpriced Switch.

>mfw bought a steam controller and it'd been so long since I last ran out of battery I tried plugging the fucking thing in to charge it
>mfw it takes two AA batteries

from 0.20 to 0.22 you can easily tell he fucking stabbed his switch with the joycon to make it fall over.

But OP, didn’t you know?
The Switch Pro Controller is THE BEST CONTROLLER EVER MADE.
And before that, it was the Wii U Pro Controller!

Also Xenoblade Chronicles is THE BEST JRPG OF ALL TIME.
And Breath of the Wild is the BEST GAME OF ALL TIME

Never listen to ninteniggers, they have no taste, no dignity and are insecure as fuck.

>if I want to play Mario Kart I have to constantly battle my kart drifting to the left

switch off motion controls. this happened to me and I blamed the controller.

it's the best controller I've ever used.
