I said the same thing about the same type used on the 3DS but I guess for people who grew up on analog sticks, the flat design is not comfortable or lacks precision in some way, which is weird because I hate regular analog sticks because my thumbs never stay centered and I dislike the curve motion compared to the flat design which feels more akin to a mouse, which is what I primarily use on PC.
Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con may have the same stick drift problem as original Switch
learningduck@programming.dev 1 week agoWhy a flat stick like the one used on PSP not considered an alternative on Switch?
It seems perfect for transportability.

Been more than a minute since I touched my PSP but I remember the stick on that (and the Vita?) being pretty dogshit. Less of an tilting analog stick and more of a weird slidey one. It is Nintendo so whatever they do is amazing and perfect but they probably wanted to use the same parts on both the pro controller and the joycons.

I don’t trust their perfection. Their games are amazing, but their hardware and their online service is dog poop compared to other platforms.
My Switch with light usage (mostly collecting dust) have a stick drift that keep getting worse and the right joy stick keep losing connectivity.

What? The stick hardware on the pro controller is essentially the same thing that’s in Xbox and PlayStation controllers. The joycon stick hardware is much smaller.
