Controller drift

[AllNewToMe]

Just bought a used switch and the left controller has drift (annoying me playing No Mans Sky). So I bought a pair of replacements, and it is still doing it. Any ideas?

calibrate the sticks

If calibration doesn't work, I'd recommend replacing analogs with hall effect.

EDIT : Or buy hall effect joy-cons.

I love the 8bitdo pro 2 controller for TV sessions. Reasonably priced and never lets me down. I don’t really use Switch in handheld any more, but people seem to love Hori controllers for that.

I've taken a liking to my Mobapad M6 HD joy-cons. I just wish I could hardwire them to my android!

Thanks for that, I‘ll check them out. I’ve been thinking of getting joycon replacements for a while (due to drift) but never have the time to do some research.

when drift i send back for repair, they seem lazy and send me new ones. left joycon and pro controller, both replaced after years of use
never have to buy new controllers it seems, nintendo aint that bad but it prob depends which country you live having this??

Done that on both old and new. Still continues.

Not sure if it helps (I've never done it), have you updated joycon firmware on Switch?

If calibration doesn't work, I'd recommend replacing analogs with HAL effect.

EDIT : Or buy HAL effect joy-cons.

Even today you have Sticks for your Pro Controller, and they works like a charm!! I just changed mine and now my controller seems like is in another class, the responsiveness is great and the circularity is out of this world.

look them here:
