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.

None of my PS4, 5 or Switch controllers have had any drift. I even used the Joycons in Ringfit for ages, and I was sure that spending months being strapped to my leg would bugger it up.

I'm not sure if I'm the luckiest person on Earth, I just don't use them enough, or others are doing something I'm not (smoking or vaping are possibilities here, along with greasy food fingers).
