For most of the Nintendo Switch‘s life, Nintendo has been plagued by lawsuits relating to Joy-Con drifting. It was resulted in Nintendo offering Joy-Con repairs for free, even if they are no longer in warranty. Meanwhile, the company patented some “Smart Fluid” joystick technology last fall, which may be Nintendo’s plan to put a stop to Joy-Con drift in the future.
As for the lawsuits, 2 major ones are coming to an end. It has been confirmed that, as of last week, the plaintiffs of the 2 cases and Nintendo have reached an agreement to dismiss both cases. One lawsuit was originally filed in 2019, and the other in 2020. You can see a tweet relaying the news down below.
