An interesting chip, but I really hope they focus on making them more durable and comfortable. My original DS has held up better over the years than my switch, despite me using it way less. Drift, wobbly controller rails, even some slight bending. I think I’ve gone through 4-5 controllers at this point, while mostly using it for the occasional flight and party game night.

The joycon drift is such a serious issue it infuriates me. I still have GameCube controllers that work great to this day and yet all of my joycons have minor issues or are completely unusable due to drift.

And it’s not even because the high precision modern games want is harder to do, because the precision brand new out of the box is a dumpster fire.

All of our gamecube controllers work perfectly too. And no damage either. From that era, no less. It’s a bit of a bummer how far Nintendo has fallen in that regard.

I replaced the joysticks with GuliKit sticks. Drift is not a problem for me now. Would be awesome if Nintendo sourced some joysticks based on the same Hall effect tech.

Switch hardware quality will have hard time to travel through the years.
