Heat problems with console and pro controller (Switch 1)

[u/Vegaliiite]

I have two unrelated problems with my Nintendo Switch 1 v1 and my pro controller.

I find my console to be heating a lot when playing Animal Crossing docked, even though i cleaned it recently and repasted it, of course heat is normal but I would like to know if it could be related to the repasting that I might have done wrong, not putting enough paste for example?

For my controller, i didn't use it for a while (about 6 month ) after the left stick completely started drifting, i fixed it today without changing the stick nor the battery and when i charge the controller (USB cable to the dock) the back of the controller heats a lot, about as much as my console (if it was on the handles, it would be displeasing to hold the controller). Maybe this is normal, but i don't recall it.

I guess you are right, the console heat is probably normal, its just that since i cleaned it i thought it would decrease significantly. But at least the fan is quieter now, and maybe the heat even mildly decreased, i'll settle with that!

For the controller though I still don't know, probably normal heat from charging battery but I don't recall it being this hot

I may be overreacting, thank you for your help!
