Does this happen when the joycon is in wireless mode or only in handheld?

[raven silo]

i never use wireless

[bright delta]

This only affects the R button and nothing else?
Is there any other related weird behaviors?
Any drop impact, water incident before this?
Also please tell me about your previous repair

[raven silo]

i havent noticed any other issues, i dont think i ever dropped it or spilled anything on it and the repairs were 4 joycon drift, 1st the left and the recent 1 was 4 the right 1

Hmm I see.
Can you go to System Settings > Controllers and sensors > Input test

in there, just press that R button several times, try to change angle of the press, how fast you press, etc... explore all the variations so you can re-create the problem.

Then take note of when it does that

[raven silo]

i did try that but the issue occures randomly and it wouldnt show up when i was testing

even tho it was still broken a minute before that .-.

Ah I see.

Alright let's do something about it, but idk if it can fix the issue.

Can you follow the steps below?

HOW TO DELETE & RECONNECT CONTROLLER PAIRING

§ This is a method to reset controllers pairing information and can fix various controllers' connection issues. If you do not have a functional right Joy-con, you can use a different controller such as a Pro controller.

※ With the Switch console in handheld mode.
1. Detach/Disconnect all the Joy-Con and controllers from the Nintendo Switch console.
2. From the HOME Menu, select System Settings ⚙️ > Controllers and Sensors > Disconnect Controllers.
3. Hold down the “X” Button on the right Joy-Con until the blue circle is fully illuminated.
4. Attach or connect any Joy-con and controllers you want to pair to the console.

※ Update the controllers' firmware can fix several issues.

After you removed the pairing, don't pair it back yet

Restart your Switch

then slot the joycon into the rail to pair
