[Help Needed] Any recommendation for alternative to JoyCon? (lemmy.world)

So, my both my JoyCon have a bad drift, and the extra one I got also have the same issue. I am looking for some third party handheld controller for Switch.

Only need it for handheld, since Pro Controller is pretty great and I have no issue with it when playing docked.

I have done some research, but was hoping to get some personal feedback from the lovely people in the community.

So, any recommendations?

Like the other commenter said, they're a little stiffer than stock, but they do seem to have a little bit of a break in period. I suppose it's personal preference, but it isn't significant enough to bother me at all. Besides, the trade off of never having to worry about drift again is 100% worth it imo.

@Entropy, @MetricIsRight, awesome, thank you both.

I still have a set of spares, but once I’m through those, I’ll get the hall effect ones.

My current gripe is to get the right rail to fit tighter so the right joycon does not lose connection. I’m thinking of adding some teflon. (One of the screws’ heads is too worn out to disassemble fully)
