I mean, that’s fair enough, I suppose. Like I said elsewhere I’ve had more problems with the PS5 controllers than the Switch ones, but my guess is this is luck of the draw. Some people just don’t like the Joycon form factor, and that’s also fair. I have some wrist issues and split controllers are amazing for my specific issues, so I’m very on board with the design for very specific reasons.
FWIW, I suspect a lot of the issues people report with those things are down to connectivity, not build quality. The BT antenna in those is terrible and it’s being power starved to run on their tiny batteries. I’ve used literally hundreds of Joycon at one point or another and rarely seen legit stick drift, but I’ve had controllers where in a noisy environment just your hand grip could make the connection get all flaky. What the Switch does in that scenario seems to be to just hold your stick position and call it a day, which isn’t great.
