Since the release of the Nintendo Switch until today, there has been a common controversy, and that is related to the drift problem that the Joy-Con controls presented, given that certain pairs in a matter of a few days began to report problems, even on the first day that customers used the console. That has led to part of the community carrying out years-long class action lawsuits against the Japanese company, and fortunately that would have ended this week.
Two lawsuits: Díaz against Nintendo and also Carbajal, filed in 2019 and 2020 respectively, will officially end through a dismissal with prejudice by the plaintiff. It means that the families have agreed to close the case completely without the possibility of reopening it in the future, and for now it is not really known why they have let it end, it is possible that they have reached an agreement with the company.
NEW – 5 years of efforts to sue Nintendo over Joy-Con drift have all but ended with a whimper
Plaintiffs (parents/kids) and defendants (Nintendo) in the 2 main class action claims in the US, filed in 2019/20, agreed last week to call for their dismissal https://t.co/dTLhP7Wzci pic.twitter.com/DEJM76F9y9

Here is the description of the controls:
Joy-Con are the main controllers used with the Nintendo Switch console. They are small wireless controllers that can be attached to the sides of the console or used independently, allowing for a wide variety of play styles.
Each Joy-Con features a set of standard buttons, including an analog stick, action buttons (A, B, X, Y), shoulder buttons (L, R), scroll buttons (ZL, ZR), start and selection, as well as a capture button to take screenshots and a home button. In addition, the Joy-Con also has additional functionalities, such as motion and infrared sensors, as well as HD vibration technology, which provides more precise haptic feedback.
The Joy-Con can be used in a variety of ways, depending on player preference and play style. They can be used together as a single controller for traditional gaming, strapped to the console in handheld mode, or used separately for local multiplayer gaming, where each player uses one Joy-Con individually. In addition, the Joy-Con can be used in combination with other accessories, such as the Joy-Con holder or the Joy-Con Grip, to provide different ergonomic configurations.
With this in mind, it is possible that Nintendo Learn from mistakes for the new generation that would already be very close to revealing itself.

Author’s note: It is striking how the next controls from this company will be, and above all to know if in the end they will be joined with magnets instead of the rails that wear out over the months.
