Yeah, I did it. It was annoying. It seems it will be more annoying for the switch 2 (which I’m loving begrudgingly).

Honest question; was it not possible to mod the original JoyCons to add hall-effect joysticks?
Yes, end users should not be responsible for having to do this - but if a cottage industry exists to repair/upgrade drifting joycons that would be awesome to see.

That exists, you can get switch form factor hall effect joysticks on aliexpress.

The problem is that it requires disassembling the controller. Apparently that’s a quite the pain for the switch 2
