Nintendo offers free Joy-Con drift repairs even if your console is out of warranty. Joy-Con drift (unintended movement of analog sticks) is a known issue, and Nintendo has extended coverage for it. To request a repair, go to Nintendoโ€™s support website, select 'Joy-Con Drift' as the issue, and follow the prompts to send in your controllers. Youโ€™ll need your Switchโ€™s serial number (found on the bottom of the console) and proof of purchase (optional). Repairs typically take 1-2 weeks, and Nintendo covers shipping both ways. If your Joy-Cons are under the original 1-year warranty, the repair is also free. Third-party Joy-Cons may have their own warranties, but official Nintendo controllers are the only ones eligible for Nintendoโ€™s drift repair program.
