A group of nine European consumer rights groups has launched a joint investigation to see what can be done to protect Nintendo Switch buyers from drifting Joy-Con controllers.

The drifting Joy-Con issue—which causes analogue sticks to register movement even when untouched—has seemingly been a problem since the system launched in March 2017, but it was brought to wider public attention with the filing of a US class-action lawsuit in July 2019.

Since then, Nintendo has been hit with multiple Switch Joy-Con drift lawsuits, which allege that the company is aware of the problem but has chosen to continue selling defective products rather than fix it.

On Monday, the Dutch Consumers’ Association called on Switch owners to report any problems they have experienced with Joy-Con controllers.
