My Switch (v1, no modchip) has been acting a bit weird for the last few months

[nandu]

It started after I updated Atmosphere and ofw in the last few months. Symptoms:

-Home button is often unresponsive, it usually takes several taps to see the home screen and most often it just opens the right side menu where you can put it to sleep mode etc.
-My Switch now gets noticably warm in sleep mode and battery drains maybe 10% per hour

Only way to stop these both from happening is by disabling WiFi, or by deleting ovlloader to stop the home button lag

My Switch was accidentally "incognitoed" permanently a couple of years ago and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this. AutoRCM on or off, no difference

Has anyone experienced something like this? Re-building my MicroSD from scratch was useless

I run Atmos with incognito active and ovl mod and I’ve seen nothing like this. Perhaps another full update of FW | AMS | Hekate would help?

Should replace your joycon or controller if it is that unresponsive.

It happens with all joycons. Like I said disabling wifi or deleting ovlloader fixes it, but everything worked flawlessly with both of those until recently

Show your hekate battery info. Also how long you had the unit for ? has the thermal paste been replaced?

I noticed the current has been higher recently. I've had this unit since March 2017.

EDIT: Btw I just tested, OFW works flawlessly, no heating/draining battery

Update: downgraded my firmware to 14 from 15 and the heating and lag stopped
