Controller drift. Require new ones. They are expensive as hell. There for to enjoy new games I need to buy the game and new controllers.
I tried the replacement because of the class action suit but because I no longer have the receipt they won't accept replacement
By the way brexit wasn't my idea I hate those fuckers
Edit for context I'm still using xbox 360 controllers with my pc
Joystick drift can be fixed at home with like 15 dollars worth of replacement parts lol

I'd recommend that you get these ones, but you can pick them up plenty of places that aren't Amazon too, just make certain you get the ones made by Gulikit, any others are probably as cheap as your originals and you'll have to come back and replace them again in short order. The Gulikit ones use Hall Effect sensing rather than resistive contact pads that will eventually scrape down and break.
That kit at Amazon comes with all the tools to do the job and as the sticks are Hall Effect based, they'll theoretically never drift unlike the ones that ship with Joy-Cons straight from Nintendo.
iFixIt has the process for doing the work: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Left+Joy-Con+Joystick+Replacement/113182 and https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Right+Joy-Con+Joystick+Replacement/113185
Ordered. Thanks for the info
