if you've got that drifting issue Axum you know you can buy replacement sticks for that from Amazon/Ebay for around a fiver along with the screwdrivers to open them up and do the fix, if you're dexterous then you could have working joycons for far less than the price tag on these.

Also , I can't recommend enough the Hori Zelda Left joycon, I got it over christmas time and haven't put back my original left Joycon since, it's so good and has a beautiful D-Pad in a joycon. Well worth taking a look at.

Surprisingly, it's not the drifting problem. The only system I've ever had that issue with was my N64. About a year ago, I was playing Mario Kart with some friends and one friend accidentally put the grip on the wrong way and since then the l and r buttons haven't worked right.
