      I remember people on the Nintendo subreddit defending Joycon drift by saying you need to use vinyl gloves to avoid dirt.

        I’ve had two DualSense controllers for almost 2 years now, and they get heavy use.

        Absolutely no problems. Thought one was starting to get drift, but I opened it up and it just had a hair stuck under the stick of the left joystick.

        I had a Nintendo Switch for less than a year and every joycon I got (the original 2 that came with it + two additional pairs) all got massive drift issues within a month or two. It was the main reason I only had the thing for a year.

          It sucks so much that it was just a result of being cheap. Replacement Hall-effect sticks seem to function just fine, people say, but you don’t expect to need to crack the warranty sticker within mere months. :(
