These are licensed by Nintendo so I would assume that they would works like the controllers that come with the switch.

All JoyCon's which are licensed by Nintendo will drift at some point; that could be after one day or after one year or longer. Nintendo has not yet provided a fix for this and are actively fixing drift issues for free for anyone through 2021. If you are looking to get these as a replacement for your drifting controller, please remember that these will eventually drift as well. It is quite an unfortunate inconvenience considering how expensive these are but at least Nintendo will repair them for free. I hope they address the actual HW issue since getting a new JoyCon is a huge hassle! Hope this helps!
