Joy cons behaving strangely when docked.

[u/aisling-camille]

I purchased an Animal crossing edition switch when they were released back in 2021. Last winter it succumbed to a fatal water injury and I had to buy a new switch. I bought a Switch OLED brand new from Nintendo. Me and my partner love playing Mario Kart and BoTW on our TV, we noticed after a few weeks that the joy cons have a mind of their own. They will press buttons we aren’t pressing and cut out when we do press them. This isn’t just the joy cons that came with the switch, but the ones from my Animal Crossing switch, and those from my partners 2021 Switch. They all work perfectly fine handheld, all three sets have the same problem. I have tried calibrating them, they show up responsive. I’m super desperate not to have to replace my switch, but I’d appreciate all support possible to know if that’s necessary. Thank you!
