I don’t think it’s any secret or controversial opinion that the Joycon 2 joystick is awful. Even shying away from the drift issue the sticks themselves are awful to use.

Im looking for recommendations for solid , Joycon with better sticks that actually connect to the switch 2 not a glorified grip that uses Bluetooth.

Alright gents, gentlewomen and gentle non-binaries I ordered an m12-s. Sadly no US stocked and they need to ship from China so I have wait for how ever long that will take 🫠 first world problems I know …

    Not quite the answer you're seeking- but there are always Gulikit's TMR stick replacements for the joycons.

    Mobapad makes the best joycons IMO, have the Switch 1 ones and they are hall effect and feel tight and responsive

    Out of curiosity, would theirs be any good for PC usage?

    I thought a joycon might be a nice remote to play "low engagement" games like visual novels on a TV, where it feels odd to carry a heavy 8-button controller. But mine (Switch 1 joycons) have unpaired themselves during use frequently.

    I'd think for something like a VN where you just need to literally press one button to proceed, i would think something like a IINE Gamebrick Controller or 8Bitdo Zero 2 would make more sense and come in at a much lower price point.

    Is it best to buy direct from them ? How did the shipping process go. I’ve only heard of them this week don’t see many of their products on any store sites I frequent

    Those sticks are so short, hate em! I think the problem with most alternative controllers is that the Switch 2 won't let any of them wake the console.

    I don't have much experience with any third party Joycon, but SwitchUp guys recently mentioned Nyxi Hyperion 3 in one of their videos (it was sponsor of the video, so take that as you may - here's the link to video: https://youtu.be/YvL7thsQnu8?t=29).

    Edit: @sbbq@lemmy.zip These can apparently wake up Switch 2 too.

    I'm sorry that you bought Nintendo.
