Years after lawsuits were filed against Nintendo for drifting Joy-Con controllers, 2 class action complaints are reportedly set to be dismissed

After several years, two lawsuits brought against Nintendo over Joy-Con drift issues are reportedly set to come to a close, after both Nintendo and the individuals who filed the class action complaints allegedly called for their dismissal. 

‘Joy-Con drift’ refers to a fault sometimes found in the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con controllers, which sees the control sticks start responding to inputs incorrectly. Sometimes, inputs might be detected when players aren’t touching the sticks at all, while other times, the controller’s input might get stuck in a direction for longer than it should, or the sticks might not register movements accurately at all. While it doesn’t occur in every Joy-Con, there’s no doubt that it’s frustrating when it does, especially given that new sets of Joy-Con controllers don’t come cheap.
