Do new Switch joycons still develop drift? (sopuli.xyz)

I have the Diablo 3 Switch, and the bitcoins joycons never developed any noticeable drift. However, I have lost the right controller and need to replace it. I primarily, but not exclusively, play with my ProController and am missing being able to use my Switch hand held.

Have the newer joycons had the drift issue eliminated? Considering the joycon lost is my fourth set, and the only set without drift, I would rather not purchase another set if drift is still happening.

Joycons suck, badly.
Apart from the drift and poor battery life,
they feel bad in your hands.

Here's what I did/do:

  1. Install Atmosphere
    https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere
  2. Install MissionControl
    https://github.com/ndeadly/MissionControl
  3. Connect any good controller(s) you have laying around,
    for me it's been my DualShock 4 PlayStation controllers.

The DS4 controllers play much better,
and have been surviving for much longer as well.

Dont just go around telling people to jailbreak their switch acting like it’s easy and there no ramifications, that’s how you get your Nintendo account banned and all your digital purchases taken away from you.

Never said it was easy,
although this guide claims it is:

Also, if you paid for Games/DLC,
then you're in your right to re-claim those games any way you see fit if Nintendo dares to take them away from you.

Care to explain that last part? As with any drm protected digital purchase, you are buying a license to use their copy not own the content itself. They are absolutely within their right to pull it whenever they see fit, similar to buying movies and tv shows from a service like iTunes or Amazon should the listening deals with the studios run out.

If you buy a copy of something,
then no one should be allowed to steal your copy away from you.

As long as you have the receipt to show that you own a copy of the game,
you should be allowed to play it any way you see fit.

Any way you see fit does not have to mean downloaded from official services.

I won't post links here,
but there are other means of getting the content you rightfully own.

It's not stealing if you already own a copy.
