Right to Repair

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Nobody should be using potentiometer joysticks anymore. That's just ridiculous. Optical joysticks have been around since the mid 90's. Even my ancient SideWinder Force Feedback Pro is a huge improvement over anything with a potentiometer. It still works and doesn't have any drift issues. Hall effect joysticks are great too.
It's Nintendo, they know the thing will sell a hundred million copies regardless of the quality
Exactly. I'm shocked that people are buying the 80-$90 game bullshit. But, brand recognition.
I think there is a company that made hall effect joycon sticks for the switch 1, but they came out fairly late in the life cycle.
Found them. I know it's an Amazon link, but i don't know if they sell them anywhere else. Maybe they'll try their hands at a switch 2 version.
