This is probably the reason Switch 2's Joy-Cons aren't immune to stick drift

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con next to original Nintendo Switch OLED Joy-Con.

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.

Early teardowns of the Nintendo Switch 2's Joy-Cons are showing that the thumbsticks use almost the exact same sensor as the original ones, albeit with some metal reinforcement in places and a smaller overall size.
