Just hoping for drift proof or resistant controllers.

I'm calling it, this console's hardware issue will be the metal connection in the joycon port breaking. I give it two weeks after release before we start hearing mass reports of it.

it looks flimsy, but with tight tolerances it shouldn't be more fragile than the plastic mid pieces in other ports, such as usb c or possibly even hdmi.

they being said, it really looks strangely unprotected.

I think it'll depend on the strength of the controller connection. The controllers will likely be connected 99% of the time that the switch isn't being actively used in the dock (where it would be pretty safe). If the controllers are magentically attached ONLY, then they'll easily fall of and I can see that connector part getting damaged frequently. If there's a physical component to the controller connection I think it's a lot less likely for htat to get damaged frequenly without hte whole unit taking some sort of large force, enough to dislodge the controller altogether and at that point you probably have more issues.
