Two separate teardowns warn gamers to expect controller-drift problems to persist, with iFixit explaining that the Joy-Con 2 sticks 'look almost exactly' like the original Joy-Cons inside.

If you were hoping that Nintendo would make the Switch 2 immune to stick drift, I have bad news for you. We've known since early April that the new console's controllers don't use anti-drift thumbstick tech like Hall or TMR sensors, but now that the console is out, we have a better idea of why Nintendo hasn't truly remedied the problem.

At least on Nintendo Switch 2 owner has already taken apart their Joy-Con to assess whether the controllers are likely to drift.
