[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?

Seconding Binbok.

Iirc controllers with drift can be sent to Nintendo for replacement, but you will need some untiltheny cone back.

I put them on my OLED when it had brand new joycons pretty much right away. The joysticks on brand new joycons are still awful.

Hopefully its something they actually fixed with the Switch 2.

The Rz trigger on my binbok is getting mushy. I actually need to look up how to fix that. Hopefully its the spring.

To get around it, I try and play shooter docked with my 8bitdo Pro 2, but with Warframe, if I'm playing on TV, I'll play the superior looking PSN version, (cross save just got enabled.)

If your looking for Little Sibling joycons, Five Below is selling some halfway decent ones for $15USD. The price is the best feature, but they're more usable than 16bit era generics.
