I've never had this much trouble from a Nintendo console. Don't get me wrong I love the switch, but the controllers are broken. I know Nintendo fixes them for free but doesn't change the fact they are super broken. Playing TOTK with drift is garbage.
This is why you should support Right to Repair!
At our shop, I replaced the sticks in quite a few sets of joycons, and they’re also not difficult to replace yourself.
IIRC we sources replacements from iFixit, but we also sourced a lot of parts from MobileDefenders and MobileSentrix.
I picked up some hall effect joysticks replacements and they are lovely. Would highly recommend them to anyone to elimite drift once and for all
True, the Joy-Cons do have the notorious drift issue, but that's not really a form factor issue. Improvements in form factor can help fix the issue, most importantly an increase in size to fit all the components in comfortably, but the source of the issue wasn't the form factor of the Joy-Cons.
Though yeah, I would look at primarily making the Joy-Cons, or at least the grip they come with, bigger to actually account for the hands of a person above the age of 8. We know, Nintendo, you mainly think of video games as children's toys, but you may want to look at gamer demographics, even on your own consoles, again. They don't need to make them too much bigger, but at least big enough to not cramp a person's fingers trying to use a single Joy-Con turned on its side.
