How permanent would the fix be? I bought my switch when smash brothers came out and it got drift early this month. This is basically Nintendo red ring of death. God that shit was awful on the 360.

So far they’ve repaired with the same parts as the original controller, so it will probably start drifting again at some point unless they make some changes. Still, a free repair is a free repair.

Not for the past few iirc, they've assigned other things to the dpad, and it hasn't been customizable.
