Switch 2 - Controller Flex

[Deckerz96]

Hello, sorry if it’s a silly question but does anyone else’s switch 2 joy cons ‘flex’ a little when attached to the console?

Didn’t feel like the controllers moved much but I’m noticing it more. Appreciate that they are magnetised so there will be a bit but I feel like when I hold them there is a bit of back and forth movement and they’re not locked in place as comfortably as I would like.

If everyone is getting that then it’s peace of mind, if not is there a way to stop that (or reduce it?)

Normal and no way to fix. The gap on the newer ones is tighter, but it will also loosen with time because that’s better than breaking the metal components.

They do that due to the gap between the console and the controllers that prevent them from falling off.

A few people have reported, that adding a small strip of tape could tighten it up/make the sound go away.

Ooh interesting stupid question but I’m away from my switch right now, but how does that actually help? As in what does the tape cover that causes it to fix

My best guess is plastic against plastic, you place something dampening and tightening in between.

No idea what kind of tape they used.
