The joycons that came with the Nintendo Switch, both failed within 3 months of owning it, and might as well include the entire console cause all the cheap plastic bits are falling apart.

I’d replace it with a Steam Deck, but the Switch’s biggest strength is being such a piece of junk I wouldn’t care if it gets stolen or destroyed

I've had my joycons for 5 years and they still work fine. Tbh I mostly use it as a handheld and probably only play about 100 hours per year, but I think the switch is pretty neat

Nokia Lumia 620 (Windows Phone)

As someone who runs a Windows phone launcher to this day, I think you're wrong 😂 had they actually pursued them, and supported them better. I think we'd still have Windows phones today, The app store was truly the killer.

I think the Thinkpad X130e with the AMD E-240 CPU. That processor, really, was the bad part. Every little single thing you wanted to do was absolutely CPU-bound, even when it was contemporary and new (c. 2011-2012). The amount of time I wasted waiting for the fully hammered CPU to do literally anything was too much.

I bought the laptop used because I figured a tiny Linux laptop would be great. And other aspects of it were fine, such as the display, keyboard, trackpad, build quality, etc. But that stupid CPU totally killed the device. Such a regret.

iPod shuffle, sometime around 2003 or 2004. Died in three weeks. Ordered a replacement. Died in two weeks

August wifi smart lock. Originally wanted the zigbee version for my home but apparently they stopped making those in favor of wifi, however wifi needs more energy to communicate and would go through they special batteries in a week's time. Even replacing the unit with another one didn't solve the issue, so I just returned it and deleted my account.

I have the same lock. I didn't want it but it was the only lock I could find that would work on my sliding door. The key is to buy rechargeable batteries. Mine last maybe a month before they need to be replaced.

LG Optimus 2x, the first dual core smartphone.

What a piece of shit, never bought LG again. It kept randomly crashing and rebooting, along with a host of other problems.

HTC Droid Incredible.

It kept telling me its storage was full when it was nowhere close, and then because it only allowed over the air factory resets, it couldn't even erase and reformat itself. It was the top rated Android phone at the time and it's why I've never gone back.

Pioneer ddj400

Where do I start first off it comes with record box, for better effects or features you have to buy a subscription . The knobs come off in your hand and are made out of plastic crossfader sucks made out of plastic buttons stick, pads stick. It's just horrible

Years ago I owned a pioneer dgm 1000 the thing was built like a tank and held its value well. I sold it for something else about 3 years 4 years later and got the same price I paid for it..

I expected the pioneer 400 to at least be manufactured somewhat sturdy, and not feel like a Fisher Price toy..

Ended up finding a numark ns7Ii for a decent price.

Made out of metal, more buttons than you can shake a stick at very high quality. It's almost 10 years old and nothing's wrong with it..

The cheap pioneer mixerswill be E-Waste within a few years

An iBook. I had the GPU replaced twice under warranty. I sold it after the second time. Never again.
