For anyone who is stuck with stick drift and isn’t in the French government and thus can’t use this to get their JoyCons repaired, you can get TMR joysticks for Switch and Switch 2 JoyCons for like $20-$30. Like Hall effect but better!

Ooh, $30 more for the $90 controllers to work? The ones that have had this problem for a literal decade? And I have to install them myself? Where do I sign!?

Hey man, I’m not saying Nintendo shouldn’t fix the issue. I’m just saying there are options.
