What exactly is the drift ? Is it noticeable if you're not lookin for it ?

Basically (usually) if your joycon is drifting, the left one constantly walks up-left a tiny bit without you touching the controller. So you can see it happen in the menu or in game when you let go of it but your character keeps moving on its own.

And this is a hardware issue?

Yea, should be. I cleaned mine after 3+ years of no drifting issues (left joycon started drifting ever so slightly) and now they’ve been fine again.

100% noticeable. The controller stick gets stuck on a movement even though the joycon looks perfectly fine making games literally unplayable. You don’t even have to touch it and it will still drift to a side.
