Nintendo's new transformable game tablet, the Switch has been out on the market. However, it encountered numerous issues concerning the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers occasionally disconnecting during play.

There's no denying that the Nintendo Switch has been a success so far; however, there are issues reported in several Nintendo Switch hardware Among them is that the left Joy-Con, in particular, is momentarily de-syncing from the main unit, leaving Switch users unable to properly control their games. There are also other reports of dead pixels on user's screens, Pocketlint reported.

Nintendo admits that indeed there is a wireless connectivity problem with the left Joy-Con. The company noted that it could drop out if confronted with other signals. For instance, if someone is walking in front of you while you were playing a game on the TV, the connection would temporarily be interrupted. It appears that one controller has a more solid connection to the base unit than the other does.

The company's current response for to a nonfunctioning left-side controller is that for users should play away from aquariums or around laptops, microwaves, and wireless speakers, to thumb drives, phones, and metal objects. The right-side controller of the Nintendo Switch has an internal Bluetooth antenna, the left one does not have, which is particularly fuzzy.

Previously, the Nintendo Switch launch was met with a barrage of complaints on Twitter. Several users have raised the issue that the Switch consoles have dead pixels. Reportedly, they have experienced a small bright dot glowing on a screen. Nintendo however, explained that these are part of the characteristic of their console's LCD screens. The company added that is just normal and should not be considered a defect.

With any newly launched device, there will always be problems and issues. It happens with every iPhone, gadgets that are released, every MacBook that reaches the stores, and just about every other tech device. The thing goes to the hybrid console, that is, Nintendo Switch.
