I mean yeah, I wouldn't expect otherwise. Nobody hates their fans more than Nintendo does.

It's a known and proven shit solution. Have any of you ever actually used hall effect sensor joysticks? The centering is worse, the polling rate is far worse, they use a ton more power (already a limited resource in the individual joycons) and most of all they get absolutely screwed by electromagnetic interference... Interference like, say, magnets holding the joycons on.
Ifixit is kind of full of shit here- the joysticks are the "same" only in that it's using the same general design as every other non-hall effect sensor joystick that's ever been used and most of those didn't have problems with drift.
It's not the same part as the original joycons, so the issue could be fixed- from what the switch welcome tour was saying, it seems pretty likely in fact.
I use hall effect on the daily and have had none of the issues you're discussing. I suppose time will tell, but I much prefer hall effect.

Not surprised, given it's Nintendo. My Switch Lite has seen very little use since I got my Steam Deck, tho.

What’s the appeal of the switch for when PC handhelds exist ? I just don’t get it why you would buy this unless you had children. Nintendo Games are good but they’re really not that good either.
Battery life and weight. That’s what keeps me from getting a pc handheld. Although the switch 2 is so big I don’t know if that holds true anymore

Switch 2 battery life also isn't fantastic.

Not surprising. Nintendo is turning into the Apple of the video game world.
Even Apple makes more repairable hardware.

I owned a Switch 1, and it certainly was the Nintendo console I touched up the most. I replaced the back panel once before I got a Lite and then an OLED.
I will say given how much I took that thing on the road and the beatings it took I never found the issues unreasonable and I only ever had to fix cosmetic damage (joycons aside). I've seen Switches get a TON of usage, too.
It's not Nintendo's most rugged console, but it's certainly not a "fragile little thing" as I would define it.
Let me put it this way, I'd much rather fix a broken Steam Deck, but I was way less worried about breaking a Switch.
joycons aside
It didn’t break and need repair, except for all the times it broke and needed repair.

Are you fucking kidding? They didn't switch to Hall effect?
Idiots will buy it no matter what, may as well use the cheap stuff.

I honestly don't care how difficult it is, only if it's possible, if it's cost-effective, and if there are any fucking corporate shenanigans that intentionally make it harder.
Ease of repair and cost effectiveness are literally the same thing.

They're literally not LOL.
If they glue in the battery it doesn't cost me anything extra to remove it.

Your time has no value? Can you do my laundry for me, then?
-
The point is it is harder because they wanted to make it harder. What one could call "corporate shenanigans"
Well that sucks but I still don't understand why I'm being quoted.

Every minute of my day does not have a monetary value, no. And if your does, I pity you.

Also, can you please share your invention of this magical battery glue that actually removes cleanly with no fire risk and goes back cleanly to Nintendo and Apple? It’s cool that you’ve figured out how to do that even though these hardware manufacturers haven’t.

Just don't break it smh.
you forgot the /s

Not all value is monetary, although it’s interesting that you default to assuming that.

I really appreciate iFixit and how they help bring the discussion of repairability to the forefront.

In those place it's usually sharing which is illegal, downloading is fine as long as you already own the media.
And where would you download from, that is seen as legal sharing of someone else's IP?
The closest you could get is by locating the ROM file in some PC remakes, assuming there's no "protection" on them.
Again, playing around the "legal" way to do things. In reality, it's different.

"smh" serves the same purpose here.

Probably depends entirely on what games you play, and how sensitive you are, but hall effects feel like trash and destroy the joycon battery life. I tried playing Celeste with hall effects and wooooow was it bad. Basically unplayable past the early chapters.
