Kinda wish though those joycons were even fraction as durable as old nes and atari controllers … like both function fine after 40 years, but joycons start have issues in even less than 1 year (particularly left joycons stick)
Atari? Atari 2600? That joystick was notable for being really flimsy and needing repair regularly… I myself broke it more than a couple of times way back when. Wikipedia even has a section about it.
In response to Raven, I’ve had my Joycons and they still work. Ironically, the Start and select buttons on my SuperNES and GBA don’t work anymore. So old systems aren’t perfect either. I still have an NES that works fine though, so some still have durability.

I meant, “I had my JoyCons for years.”
Granted, mine were newer models made after the JoyCon drama, so perhaps Nintendo improved the design.
