my joycons didn't drift but my brother's did, all of them. I gave him mine and took my sweet ass time replacing the sticks in his. I put hall effect in one pair and pots in the other. Mine came back with drift. Then his second pot stick joycons came back with drift. I put hall sticks in all of them and so far so good.

My assumption is that handling of the controllers and the game's stick use intensity come in to play.

I’ve had 8 joy cons drift. 6 of them I sent in to have Nintendo fix, the last pair I fixed myself with Hall effect sticks. I’ve also replaced some friends joycons with Hall effect sticks.
