Apparently Nintendo is being sued for this issue (where the joy cons detect movement when no one is touching them) so has anyone here have this problem?

Hopefully, this problem gets fixed with a software update or hardware fix.
Is it just one batch that went bad or everywhere?

enough to warrant a lawsuit, soooooo everywhere?
Read from VGC:
A former supervisor at a Nintendo Switch Joy-Con repair centre in the US has claimed the company was inundated with faulty controllers.
While Nintendo of America handles customer repair requests, it contracts the repair work to third party companies like Syracuse, New York-based United Radio.
An ex-employee told Kotaku that at one point, “easily thousands of Joy-Cons were coming through each week.” They added: “We ended up having to set up an entire new workspace just for Joy-Con repair.”
Customers who sent in faulty Joy-Cons from 2017-2018 were reportedly sent new replacements, but after the first year, it’s claimed United Radio was required to repair every set of controllers.
The ex-supervisor claimed United Radio was heavily reliant on agency workers, most of whom didn’t speak English natively, leading to communications issues, a high turnover of staff, and a “very stressful,” environment resulting in “lots of” repair mistakes.

Indeed. Looks like Bowser is not a good CEO.

Mario should start a hostile takeover lol
Nintendo definitely knew about the issues and the way they treated customers who reported the issue at the time was pretty poor tbh.

Since the Switch is my primary console atm I've spent soooooo much money on replacement Joycons. I'm pretty sure I'm on my 6th pair.

Why not just get a pro controller?

I don't like the pro controller. It's too big for my hands. The Joycons in the joycon grip are the perfect size for me.

Maybe a 3rd party controller that comes in a smaller size?

I thankfully haven't got this issue yet. Though I usually just use my PS4 controller on my switch since I have a mayflash adapter. I do think Nintendo needs to fix this issue though, it's been going on for a while now.

Didn't realize you could do that, I'll have to look into it.

Oh yeah most wireless stuff with the right components can do the trick.
