Anyone else unhappy with the quality of plastic nintendo used for the joy cons. I’ve have a plastic casing on the joycons since day 1. After the first use they look like this. The plastic just doesn’t compare to xbox or playstation controllers. For $60+ controllers, I expected better...

Have you tried to clean it with water? To me it looks like oil from the hands/fingers. Mine don’t look like this and I got my switch on release.

My left joy cons stick like crazy

my switch’s back is looking like this. it’s full of stains!

Take one apart and you'll understand why they cost 80 bucks. That cheap plastic is the only reason they don't cost 100.

Wash your hands...i had mine since day 1...never had anything like that all

 

[Jesus Martinez Jr.]

They feel pretty good tbh but may add the protective covering i got for my joy cons just for safety.

 

[Jonathan Jurczak]

It's that matte finish, folks. Just wipe them with some kinda clean wipe.

 

[Joe Martin]

It is not stains.
All matte-finished plastic will become smooth after repeated usage.

Shit I don't even wash my hands and my son uses my switch and mine don't look like that

 

[João Gabriel Pozzobon Dos Santos]

the best solution would be just throwing your console in the water! HAHHAHAH

your gross

Ive had mine for 9 months and they still look new, i wash my hands before playing though

 

[Elery Tanner]

Wash yo hands ya nasty

Technically it’s $60 for the pair, so each individual controller is $30.

But they’re definitely cheap. I’ve had several Switches come through my store with the same issue: left Joy con not locking into the system. Just gets worn down. ‍

Maybe I just baby my switch too much lol but I have 0 issues
