    My son's original jocon started drifting after 2 years owning it so it was time to replace. This fixed the drifting issue.

    The Joy Con replacement controller is the same as the one that comes new in the box with the Switch. If you’re buying this you probably already know what you’re going to get. It’s not the most well made controller that Nintendo has ever produced but it’s serviceable for playing games on the go. Prone to experiencing “drift” after some use, meaning the analog directional stick becomes unusable at which point a new controller will need to be purchased.

    This was bought as a replacement to the original which came apart when accidentally dropped. As a bonus, the "joy-con drift" that was experienced when using the original in hand held mode has disappeared.

    They work for now. Hopefully the controller drift doesn't happen with these. My kids love them.
