Why are the switch controllers so bad?

According to Rainbopython, who examined the JoyCons in a teardown, the issue is caused by wear and tear on the internals of the device, which leads to residue build-up inside the controller, which causes the drift. This can apparently be addressed to at least some degree with DIY repairs.

How long do JoyCons last?

approximately 20 hours

Is it safe to play the switch while charging?

The Nintendo Switch’s portability sets it apart from all other home consoles. The Switch Lite will give you three to seven hours. However, charging your Switch back to full power only takes about three and a half hours. And you can always keep playing while the console is connected to power.

How do you charge Joycons without a dock?

When it’s not in the dock, the Switch can be plugged in with the accompanying USB-C charging cable that’s also included with the standard package. That will again send power to both the console and its controllers, assuming the system is in handheld mode with the Joy-Cons still attached to either side of the screen.
