It is mentioned that Nintendo repairs Joy-con controllers experiencing drift for free in the USA. However, there is no mention of their refusal to do so in the EU (they still charge £40 for the fix). Why is this? — Preceding

And even then, I'd only include it if RSes have confirmed if it appeared to work, not just the mere existence of the fix. --

I'm fairly sure I've seen many sources saying that it does work (although some joycons you have to do a few extra steps so it'll work). I'll see if I can find anything. And I do agree that the mere existence of a fix doesn't warrant it's inclusion, as many people have found fixes that work for a little bit but then just stop working.

I've found a few sources, although because of the restrictions I have while I'm in school I'm a bit limited on the sources I can actually look at. I'll look a bit more when I get home to see if the sources I couldn't look at have any info that might help.
