Has anyone experienced drift on Switch OLED (or Joy Cons repaired by Nintendo after around 2021)? Trying to investigate Joy Con 1 drift (feddit.uk)

I've been doing a bit of investigation into the Switch 1 drifting situation, and am curious if anyone here has gotten drift on the OLED Switch. This is because the newer sticks I have ordered after the OLED came out have very slight differences, and I wonder if that affects the reliability (none of those ones have drift yet either). If you have had it happen on the Joy Cons that came with the Switch OLED, let me know.

EDIT: Added Joy Con 1 repairs to title as well, as those should also have the revised sticks if this theory holds.

I don't think there's any difference between all versions of Switch 1 controllers. They all use the same sticks. And yes, they are prone to drift. It's a manufacturing issue.

My advice is to learn how to fix them yourself and buy aftermarket replacement parts and fix it yourself. There's plenty of YouTube tutorials on that.
