My first pair of joy cons(original grey ones) started drifting nearly a year after I bought my switch. As far as I noticed it started after I played Bayonetta a lot for period of time. First the left one began drifting then the right one. I tried to fix them by replacing the sticks for left one it worked for short time then began drifting again but for the right it didn't . Eventually it reached to the point of unresponsiveness so I was forced to buy a new pair. Now it's been 7 months since I bought my red joy cons and hopfully there haven't been any drifting yet but one reason can be that I play my switch a lot less than before. Anyways the fear of drifting is always present and that's why I back away from buying games that require button mashing and quick constant movements like smash bros and cuphead.
