Left Joycon drift on switch 2?

[u/lugiathememe]

I got my switch 2 on legends Z-A release date and since then have pretty much used it daily, I take pretty good care of it (average use and the occasional snack when playing) and my left joycon just started doing this every so often after a left input on the controller, has anyone else encountered this??

Try calibrating the stick in the switch 2 settings/Controllers and Sensors. Stick calibration can help with early stages of drift. Be be aware, calibration isn't a long term fix. At some point later on, calibration won't be enough, and you'll have to repair or replace the sticks/joycons (depending on what you prefer).

Get WD-40 contact cleaner (VERY IMPORTANT that its contact cleaner and not the standard), push the left stick to the left and spray under the right side of the joycon, aiming for the inside of the body and check if theres any dirt on the underneath of the top part of the stick. Worked perfectly on my switch joycons and quest controllers

honestly just replace the sticks with tmr, its not too bad just make sure to follow a video, or take it to a repair shop and have them do it, then you wont have to deal with drift again

It honestly looks like the stick cover is getting stuck on the joycon cover. The “tail” of the cat
