TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’€ ALERT: THE SWITCH 2 PRO CONTROLLER IS A TINFOIL HAT LEVEL OF UNSERVICEABLE! ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿšจ Prepare your wallets because you might as well buy a new controller every week since fixing this bad boy is like trying to assemble IKEA furniture after 3 shots of vodka ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ› ๏ธ. iFixit just dropped a tear-TEAR down of this design failure, and lemme tell you, accessing the battery requires a PhD in โ€œWhy Did I Even Try?โ€ ๐Ÿคก You thought soldering back your grandmaโ€™s secret cookie recipe was hard? Nah, bro! ๐Ÿ’€ You gotta tear off the faceplate like youโ€™re opening a secret vault ๐Ÿ—๏ธ just to access the joy-con's battery, which, spoiler alert, isnโ€™t even drift-free! This is fine? ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ”ง Quote from an imaginary Nintendo developer that probably doesn't exist but I'm feeling creative: โ€œWe love making our controllers unfixable! Donโ€™t you want to buy a new one every time your battery dies? Thatโ€™s called business.โ€ ๐Ÿ’ธ *Drake pointing meme* So as you prepare for your inevitable bank account plunge, remember: Nintendo's motto is "if it ainโ€™t broke, donโ€™t fix it, just buy a new one!" ๐Ÿ™Œ Stonks going down, but hey, more plastic waste for the ocean! ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ’” Hereโ€™s my unhinged prediction: the Switch 3 will come with *NO* controller at allโ€”just pure vibes. Get ready to be a thumb wrestler. ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿค›
