I barely used my joycons, but I had drift. I don’t think I was misusing them, I only used them when mobile, and that was infrequent. And yet they drifted.
I replaced the sticks with Hall effect sticks, and they’ve been fine since.
You just got lucky, I guess. Or maybe you don’t use the joycons as much? I had to send my joycons back because of drift 3 times. Joycons aren’t full on falling out, but one of them will come out without pressing the button. Kickstand is also pretty useless, falls out from a tiny bit of pressure.
Drift has nothing to do with what people are doing. It occurs naturally from any dust or debris that makes it into the controller. Obviously the better care you take the less likely it is but it’s not user error causing stick drift.
Dualsense is my fave! Especially in games where the triggers and haptics work (I play everything on the computer now.) Pacific Drive and Returnal make excellent use of the haptics and triggers.

Original switch user…zero drift, never dropped or had controllers just fall out.
The fuck are people doing?

Also no drift!
…but I’ve only used my joycons for maybe an hour total, I can’t stand them. Love the pro controller though!
The pro controller is way better, but I still prefer Xbox and PlayStation controllers, in that order.
