Both my left joycon are constantly disconnecting now. They'd both been fine from launch, and one started playing up a couple of months ago and the other has been doing the same this past few weeks.

 

Is the foam trick likely to fix them, and if so, where's cheap to get the foam?

 

Do new joycon have the issue at all now?

 

EDIT: would this work?

I had this issue, my left joycon would not power up though, even docked in hand held mode (They now both work but no lights on the side). I drained the switch down to absolute 0 (won't power up) and did the same with my Right joycon, Then left them all on a full charge. Seems to work fine with no disconnections *fingers crossed*

Oh, they're fine when connected. And even when near. But the distance I sit they're suddenly too far away now, apparently.

I have found the distance the signal will reach has shortened too, although I maybe imagining this as I tend to use a pro controller nowadays.

It might be a new wireless device somewhere nearby that's causing it, but it's only the left one so hopefully some foam - which I've found at work - will sort it!

Foam? This is a new one for me haha :) I will have to have a look into this.

How do you get native* voice chat whilst docked? 

I have a Genki Bluetooth headphones adaptor that can plug into the dock via a USB C adapt or but it doesn’t take voice. They included a Mini microphone  for the headphone Jack on the switch but this doesn’t seem to work and if it did, would probably be too far away to use.

 

The arctic steel series 1 has a bluetooth dock adapter also but I don’t know if it takes voice. Google seems to suggest voice only goes through the headphone jack.

 

*native voice chat meaning built in on Overwatch and others, not the Nintendo app. I realise playing it docked kind of erodes the point when I have a PS4 and an Xbox sat there but I’m 320 hours in and using a wired connection which is much more favourable to my performance.

@strafe - funnily enough, it's working just fine for me using a Playstation wireless headset. Stick the dongle in the dock (or using a USB c adapter while portable) and bingo.


That is both excellent and annoying because I have a PS4 gold headset (is that what you have?) but the dongle is broken and from what I know the Individual dongle and headset pair are uniquely linked.

I use the gold headset. 
 

Either straight into the dock or, in handheld, into the USB-C via a small adapter. Yes it looks like you’ve got a weird aerial poking out the bottom but you get used to it. Sounds good too. I find that normal headphones cabled into the switch come out very quiet for some reason.
