I bought a second-hand Switch last year and was having a blast with SwSh and LGPE, until a few months ago when my left joy-con started drifting. It's been gradually getting worse, to the point where it's now sometimes difficult to navigate menus and select the right move during battles. The direction of the drifting is always upwards, so when I fly to a new location my character often walks straight into the Pokemon Centre.
I've tried updating the joy-con, recalibrating it and cleaning away the dust around the control stick, but it doesn't seem to have made a lot of difference. An article I found suggested doing a more thorough clean using compressed air, so maybe I'll give that a shot.
Hopefully I'll find a solution before The Crown Tundra comes out (I might be able to get it repaired by Nintendo if no proof of purchase is required), but in the meantime I've been going back to playing the older generations on my DS and 3DS instead.
