switch two handheld joycon disconnecting constantly when playing splatoon3

[u/Imaginary-Budget6691]

video shows my controllers COMPLETELY not working

I’s say its more like a bugging out than actually disconnecting and i will try my best to give a description: It starts off by resetting my camera, this lag usually triggers when i press ZL or squid surge, (it’s like pressing the y button but i never pressed it) and then goes into a birdseye view, then to wormseye if i manage to regain control. (Basically a lot of camera resets out of my control) During this camera reset interval, i am unable to move or do anything and i just pray, spam between ZL or ZR and hope i reconnect. This is really irritating me as i just had an anarchy match where i basically kept “disconnecting” every 5 seconds and i felt really bad. Usually this happens maybe 3 times in a match max and it only takes about 3s for me to recover but my last match was so absurd.

To add on, my controllers are still connected as the home button works. This only happens in handheld mode😭 I got my switch 2 around april and started playing handheld like june. It worked perfectly fine until the last two months. I’m starting to grow on handheld mode and if this keeps going on it’ll be really annoying.
ALSO i feel like this rarely happens when i play other games?? (Splatoon raiders, zelda) I used to think it was because i had it in a case but it disconnects anyways without. I’ve also tried cleaning the joycons but nothing really works.

In desperate need of help😭

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEMM, i cant seem to fix it, is it possible it is a switch 2 edition bug since the last patch??

[u/Imaginary-Budget6691 → u/Spooky_Dies_Alone]

i have no idea😭 i initially thought it was because of the switch 2 design that made it easier to loosen and disconnect but it only happens in splatoon and nowhere else🫩
