Regarding the issues of left-hand joy-con, people have suggestions of what the possible reason could be. The tech experts who did a dissection of both the joy-cons found that the right joy-con comes with a separate antenna while the left joy-con has an antenna within the circuit board. Though this is not the official cause of the issue, as many of the latest consoles are coming with similar kind of mechanism, the left joy-con has a metal piece near to its antenna and many people think that it is creating the syncing issues to of the joy-con.

Nintendo has not made any official statement regarding the joy-con issue in detail but they, however, responded that they will give their best efforts to give a smooth experience to their customers. Considering the huge demand for the portable console, the developer has decided to double the production count to meet the demand.

People who are planning to purchase the device are advised to consult their local store salesperson to know more details about it considering the local supplies may vary.
