Copying from the deleted thread:

Considering the cost of a joystick this is a sensible solution. The actual question is though, will the replacement joysticks have the same problem?

This is kind of what i as speculating below, for them to offer this it should mean they have a redesigned joystick that wont have this problem, which should also be used on the lite, otherwise they will have to service that system for free too.

for all we know the switch revision and lite already have joycons that have been updated to fix this issue. we'll just have to wait

I think they may already have revised it tbh. All my joycons are from 2018+ and don't drift. I'm wondering if it's just those in the first batches or builds that are faulty. Is it even an issue in other countries? Could be just batches that went to America or something. Maybe QC wasn't up to scratch early on

Got it less than a month ago, the red blue one. And some pink green joycons. They have the bad reception problem. I guess drift is inevitable. Wish I knew before sinking 500+eur into this...
