I've seen you can replace the little black clip with metal ones and they latch more strongly

 

[Christopher Pallay]

New ones

There's a plastic clip in the joycon itself that holds it in place. Yours is broken.

Either get a new joycon or deal with it

RMA

You broke the plastic clip some how. Amazon already has replacement clips for sale if you are technically minded.

 

[Steffen Eide]

Wow r.i.p

 

[Damian Cornell Vandermeer]

There’s a video on YouTube that shows how to fix this problem

Getting mine back from Nintendo today for the exact same reason. You can replace it with metal parts yourself.

Just go deeper and it will stay in

yeah one of my original greys has this issue, it no longer locks in, the small plastic piece seems to get worn down and stops working.

Buy a new switch

 

[Chad Laparra]

idk, but im sure popping it on and off without pressing the clip button isnt helping lol

My mate Vince on YouTube (his channel not my actual mate) has some good videos that show how to replace it - with plastic or metal

He points out that the reason they are plastic might be a deliberate flaw - if you drop your switch it's safer to lose a joycon rather than have it stay in the console and send the shockwave through the entire switch - just a thought

My original grey joycons started with this issue last week

 

[Jermaul W]

Buy the replacement metal clips. I havent need them but some people have.

 

[Shawn Chamberlain]

That sonic forces skin is the problem

 

[Dennis van Beveren]

I had the same problem and got it fixed! I called the Nintendo Contact number (855) 877-9099 (on their website) and I told them about my problem. The phone call only took about 10 minutes. Their customer service is also very friendly. I sent my joycons on Feb 21st and got them back March 1st. They send you a UPS label via email and you just have to ship it to them by either scheduling a pickup or dropping it off at UPS. You should get yours fixed today because today is the last day for 1 year warranty.
