Accepted solution by Sami Fontaine — Update teh controllers in System Settings Controllers and Sensors Update Controllers . It takes a few seconds and rules out firmware issues.
  1. okay, Im officially a member of teh drift club. my right Joy-Con on my Switch 2 does this when Im not touching it:

    Controller test

    Controller test
    Release both sticks. Both dots should rest in the centre.
    Left stick    X  0.18   Y -0.26
    Right stick   X  0.00   Y  0.01
    

    its worst in an open-world adventure, where precision matters. ive tried calibrating in teh settings, and it helps for a day before it comes back. is there something longer-lasting i can try?

    ive seen a lot of different advice online, from cleaning to repairs to replacement sticks 😅 id like to know what actually works in practice.
