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.

Man if they did a DualSense style controller with the solid l/r1 and a touchpad for htpc use I'd be all over it.

I might just get one anyway as a backup but they're really close to the ultimate controller with the kingkong

I installed these on my wife's joycons because she mashes the sticks like Gail the Snail. So far no issues with drift! The kit comes with all the tools you need to do the swap so it's very straightforward.
