      1. So as I would press down on my control stick it would input down until I flicked it back up. I calibrated many times to no avail. I put off sending the joycon in for repair because it didnt seem like a hardware issue. Sure enough the update made the control stick input properly. Does that make sense?

      2. Yes thnx. Almost the same I think. When I released the joystick from a direction, it would flick so hard that it actually thought I was pushing the joystick in the released momentum direction, causing accidental turnarounds of my character.
