    I did that exact replacement. One of the Hall replacements began drifting as well.

    I’ve never had drift on any other system. Weird.

      Yeah, they’re not perfect as drop-in replacements.

      They fix the problem of the joystick inputs appearing to hitch when at the edges of the gate, but they have way worse variance in readings when in the default position.

      Anecdotally, I found Nintendo’s on-device calibration settings to suck. They don’t give enough control over deadzone and range parameters to actually make up for using a different sensor type. When repairing people’s joycons, I ended up using PC software to overwrite the joycon factory calibrations to make things actually behave…
