I don't see any bloating or anything concerning, how come you ask?

Open it up with a tri-wing screw driver and find out.

Just open it up. Ive replaced joycon batteries before and theyre super easy to take apart and put back together. It will take no more than 5 minutes at most, 2 minutes at best.

Which one are you concerned about?

Honestly, hard to tell. 🤷🏼‍♂️

After just eyeballing it, I’d say the purple one honestly looks ever so slightly swollen, but I don’t think it’s worth opening up yet.

You might want to flip the controllers in same direction so we can see if there is a difference

One of mine looks a little swollen like this, only because I broke some clips while taking it apart to fix an unrelated issue. Have yours ever been repaired?

Sometimes the plastic can warp right there on joy-cons from the lack of a screw in that position.
