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.

Switch drift was so bad, im not getting the new switch unless it goes months without drift reports first.

I upgraded my joycons to the guilykit joysticks and they are wonderful. And its not even that difficult. Took me about 30 minutes for both. But it's a shame that I had to change them at all.

Do Amiibos still work with the new sticks?

The NFC reader isn't on the sticks, so I don't see why they wouldn't.

I thought they were, since you touch the stick with it.

It's actually around the stick, not in. Check a right joycon teardown, you'll see the antenna stuck to the inside of the shell.
