A patent filed by Nintendo suggests that they’re working on Hall Effect style joysticks for the Switch 2 that would eliminate stick drift almost entirely.

    I lost four sets of Joycon to drift. I even sent two in to be “repaired”. Talking to support was worthless - I’m convinced that the people I spoke to had never seen or used a Switch before. I don’t think they did anything other than calibrate them and send them back. I ended up buying a 20 pair of knockoff Joycon that have worked perfectly ever since.

        Why, though? Let them fix it, if they’re selling broken. Especially here in Europe they have to fix it within a mandatory 2-year warranty.

          It’s 3 year in Spain, since Jan 2022 (just adding info).

        A bunch of controllers have extremely obnoxious security bits required. I had to get two separate bit sets to open a bunch of controllers.

        My old Amazon order says Vivefox, but they don’t seem to be for sale anymore. I’m pretty sure at the time there were a bunch of companies offering the same ones, like a Chinese dropship kind of thing.
