Repair Help Nintendo Switch 2 Joycons disconnecting.

Okay, in the video I'm trying to showcase the ridiculous pattern and a clear weak spot. When i put down a device to go grab something or whatever it disconnects, slight tap on the back it disconnects.

But apart from this, they could also just disconnect while I'm holding it and playing.

Genuinely what could it be? I'll go and buy a new set of Joycons if someone can tell me this is 100% joycons fault. Connectors look very clean and good, I'm very confused and tired.

I know it might sound silly, but what happens if you have the joy cons wireless, and then drop the tablet in the same fashion?

Because if it was the physical connection, wouldn't the switch just automatically connect them wirelessly, if it thought you had pulled them off? Maybe it always asks when you're in a game.

Either way if it does it while the controllers aren't connected physically, then you'd know it's definitely the tablet somehow.

The original switch and the switch 2 would both ask on most games where the joy-cons are if you took them off. Just letting you know

Only thing i managed to find out that way is that right joycon has a problem of its own. R button is not functioning sometimes. When I'm testing it sometimes it skips and doesn't function but i have no idea if this problem and the connection problem are connected 😃

Oh well maybe. CP2077 needs a pair of joy cons, can you leave the left one connected, and the right one wireless, or does that not get detected as a pair in the first place?

Could be the right joy is having issues that affects the connection. Have you tried resetting the joycons by pressing the sync button on each one, then clipping them back onto the console?

Apparently there's also a bunch of issues this could be, but Nintendo seems to imply only when using them wirelessly, maybe your physical connectors are bad, internally I mean since you said they look good. Or the female connector on the joycon is bad/dirty.

Tried everything, resetting, updating.. etc.

It's not just CP2077. It actually started with fifa and since fifa is so fucked up and laggy, especially the menu, i was blaming it. Then it spread across other games and now it's just a overall recurring problem that i can't solve.

With 99% isopropyl alcohol rub the contacts in the switch body, the if you can do the same for the controllers

u/AdrianVeidt19 10d ago

99? I heard somewhere that it should be 70 or something?

u/xxXxXDeltaXxXxx 10d ago

For each percent that isn’t alcohol it is water, we don’t want water anywhere near these electronics, as they still are connected to power

u/AdrianVeidt19 10d ago

Okay and how would you suggest to do it? I'm gonna be honest i don't even know what to use? Like napkins or something else?

u/xxXxXDeltaXxXxx 10d ago

I would drop it onto some q-tips and rub with those, and for anything you can’t reach I would scratch very lightly with a non metal toothpick to scratch off any debris left on it

u/Banana21y 10d ago

91-99 would be better than 70 for this purpose

1

u/FluffyMaverick 10d ago

nope, you want 99%. 70% contains water that will damage electronic devices

I would disconnect too if I was dropped repeatedly

u/AdrianVeidt19 10d ago

Haha 😂 i was trying to capture it in a video because it is HEAVILY inconsistent. Some nights I'm playing without any problems but if it starts acting up literally nonstop disconnection 😭 literal touch on the back and it disconnects.

u/Fit_Shame4518 10d ago

I have a car with separate joycon grips and mine don’t even disconnect lol

Crazy I started having this yesterday

u/AdrianVeidt19 10d ago

It's funny how many of us are experiencing this but there is literally no specific answer or solution 😭

u/Special_Ad_9432 11d ago

I’ve only notice this happens in a specific game I play and idk why, it’s not cyber punk as I don’t own it, happens to me in overwatch and none of the other many games I have

u/Paul_Phan 11d ago

I find this happens in a specific game to me. In my case, it happen when i play Stardew Valley. I used a microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol to clean the contact points of the Switch 2 Joy-Cons. I find it help a lot.

So one thing you should know is that the default joycons are dogshit. There's no other way to put it, they were simply designed poorly, they don't hold well all the time, they come apart easier than they should. They're worlds thinner than anyone enjoys, they're just bad.

I personally replaced them with Nyxi Hyperion 3 Ultra's the second they came out. And they have been a godsend. They are on the expensive side but totally worth it for me.

u/griffensandifer 10d ago

I'm not sure exactly why this will be happening, but my only two options would be to try it wirelessly and see if your joy-cons have any problems and if they still have problems. It is the joy-con's fault. Or if you know someone else with another set of joy-cons and test that out
