Nintendo has confirmed the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers won't use Hall Effect sticks, meaning they may be prone to stick drift.

Well hot damn, didn’t know about it.

Still though, from the fact you had to send in 4 times means that replacing mine from the get go with hall-effect was much less hassle. Sounds like the new controllers will be exactly the same quality, joystick-wise, since you had such a great experience. Why change the process?

I will say that in the latest pair of Joycons I didn’t even wait. I just swapped them for hall effect ones from ifixit. Well worth it in my opinion.
