Is there any possible alternatives to Nintendo's faulty joy con design? As Nintendo Switch Lite owner, I accepted joy con drift as inevitability and, while I am yet to experience it, preparing for the future seems like a good idea. I saw some alternative joy con hardware on Amazon (Hori's Split Pad Pro for example) and can't help but wonder if any of those pieces have compatible/interchangeable analog sticks which I would be able to swap into my Nintendo Switch Lite if needed. Thank you for your help and attention in advance!

I opened some Chinese joycons but the parts were different.
They look much more like the parts used in XBox and Playstation controllers.
So, even unlicensed, third-party 'joy cons' of purely Chinese origin (and I suspect they cost noticeably cheaper compared to original big N hardware?) use superior controller hardware than Nintendo themselves do. That's funny and sad simultaneously. Actually, more sad than funny.
