    Nope. I’ve sent several pairs of Joycons (at least 4 sets) to be repaired by Nintendo absolutely free of charge. Never had an issue though I remember the process being a little convoluted.

      Well hot damn, didn’t know about it.

      Still though, from the fact you had to send in 4 times means that replacing mine from the get go with hall-effect was much less hassle. Sounds like the new controllers will be exactly the same quality, joystick-wise, since you had such a great experience. Why change the process?

        I will say that in the latest pair of Joycons I didn’t even wait. I just swapped them for hall effect ones from ifixit. Well worth it in my opinion.
