Hi all, I’m not sure what to do here. The controllers vibrate extremely loudly, it sounds like I am shaving my face! I don’t remember it being so loud when the thing was new, just two months ago.
Is it defective?
What’s the best way to get warranty replacement? I got it from Amazon but the only course of action there is to send in the whole thing for repair. Is that the best choice?
What type of controller? Pro?
I’m sorry, I don’t understand. It’s the normal Nintendo Switch (OLED) and those two controllers that come with it which slot into the sides.
Those are called Joycons. I would say they can get pretty loud but I suppose that depends on the game. Have you noticed a difference after starting a new game or did you notice it on the same game you’ve been playing before they got extra loud? Also, is the excessively loud noise coming from one joycon or both?
Thank you; I will check and respond again.
Let me just say that I disabled vibration cause when me and my so are chilling it can be quite annoying for how loud it is, especially in some specific games
Joycons. Interesting, my joycons are pretty quiet, and I have two pairs (four pairs in the family). Are they loud in certain games and not others? Which game(s) have the worst vibrations?
Apparently it’s mostly in one game, WRC 10.
I guess it means the hardware is okay and that one game is crap.
Everyone forgets the Joycons have a feature called HD Rumble and that advanced vibration patterns are an option for developers. You can even use the vibrations to make sounds. It’s really cool, but almost no one does it. Sounds like this game does.
I have never even heard my joycons vibrating unless they’re vibrating against a solid surface like a table or the floor.
It’s hard to really say, when they vibrate, depending on the intensity that the game feeds the controller, the vibration is absolutely audible, it will never be silent, so it is a little hard to say with no audio feedback whether they’re louder than they’re supposed to, depending on the game.
There is something you should know about those controllers:
