Personally, I've had 4 Joy-Cons and 4 Pro Controllers and yet not a single one of them has had controller drift. I use them all very extensively as well. Treat your controllers well and you'll be fine. And to those who're experiencing Joy-Con drift, it's not uncommon for this to happen. I've had 3 PS4 controllers that had control stick drift or triggers that stopped working. Every console has defects or controllers that don't work as well as others. This isn't some phenomenon. It's just a very vocal minority online that likes to share their grievances with one another to get confirmation bias from their peers. That's all. If I can have that many controllers not have any problems, and I use them constantly and extensively, then the average person shouldn't be having this problem. But of course the internet exasperates any problem that occurs among a few into some major issue, when in reality, it's far from the earth shattering and global issue that the internet would make you think. Congratulations all of you in the comments that have said you have Joy-Con drift, you found other hardcore fanboys who have similiar problems, not your average consumer. You've all duped yourselves into believing a narrative that really isn't as big as you think.
