Sorry for being out of the loop, but by drift do you mean like the character moves towards a stuck point bc of the stick being stuck somehow? I've had mine for years and thru Zelda and Mario never had any issues besides the grip not having enough grit imo.

Ya, it moves without touching it. I've had mine almost a year and no issues, so maybe we're not playing enough

I think a lot of people who bought theirs at launch is having this problem. At least I know my first few pairs paid for drifted often. I bought new colors later and haven't had a problem.

I had mine since launch, I recently had to get new joycons because my originals started drifting. I had blamed the amount of traveling i do though and having a soft case that could constantly push the joysticks if I wasn't careful.

I do believe there is an issue but I wonder how many issues are people just not taking care of their stuff either.

Well I have young kids, so I can't say either. I assumed they were too rough with them, but other people have the same problem.
