MODERATORS
does the switch pro controller use different joysticks than the joycons?
my joycons have drift but the pro controller, which I've used more often, is perfectly fine
No, it's just vastly larger so the copper contact strips are also larger and wear slower.
I bought a pro controller and it had drift out of the box, sent it back immediately and just got a third party Hori controller for half the price
The technology is fundamentally the same but they are implemented differently. They joycon has less space so they needed a more compact layout. But both use potentiometers.
