Hardware Hori dpad Joycon drift?

[M7L7NK7]

Has anyone who bought this experienced the stick drifting?

I did read one person here mention it. Its exactly the same stick so it should eventually, although the flap seems a little longer but its still exposed if you lift it. Fortunately you usually don't need much stick in d-pad heavy games.

Well it got the drift. Month and a half, can't believe how shitty Joycon sticks are...

Split pad pro is the only handheld solution. Too bad its so hard to get.

Has it been confirmed it's immune to the drift though?

 

[Rahkeesh]

It uses completely different sticks, much larger, and it doesn't have any dumb open flap design. So I'm expecting typical controller drift rather than joy-con level.

I actually got the split pad pro now. Unfortunately everything is awesome about it *except* the d-pad. While its about the same size as the d-pad joycon and about as accurate, it is made of matte, textured plastic rather than smooth, and sits more flush with the controller, making it less comfortable. The d-pad con plus a fitting grip is probably a better experience for 2D games.

I also bought the split pro, I like everything apart from the programmable buttons on the back.. I don't use them but I can feel them and am constantly aware that they're there, it feels awkward
