So, my both my JoyCon have a bad drift, and the extra one I got also have the same issue. I am looking for some third party handheld controller for Switch.
Only need it for handheld, since Pro Controller is pretty great and I have no issue with it when playing docked.
I have done some research, but was hoping to get some personal feedback from the lovely people in the community.
So, any recommendations?
I can’t speak to any third party alternatives, but if you’re at all comfortable with opening up you joycons, for about $20 you can replace the sticks with Gulikit hall effect joysticks. They use magnets instead of conductive pads, so theoretically they will never develop drift. I did the upgrade on mine and they’re great.

@Entropy, do they also feel good? I heard conflicting reports on that part. @slimerancher
