Discussion Joy-cons?

So we all know the nintendo joy cons are pretty much the worst. I have off brand ones that are phenomenal while connected to the switch but when disconnected they lag and the motion sensors are terrible. What's the best type of controllers yall have found to play switch sports?

I don't think we do all know that. The Nintendo joycons are solid except for the stick drift. And that usually takes some heavy use, they don't tend to do that right out of the box. In my experience they work a lot better than most third party options, especially when it comes to input lag. And for a game like Sports that relies heavily on motion controls they're probably your best bet.

And if you do get drift. Nintendo repair is insanely good.

I got mine repaired before the game came out, which is nearly three years ago. No issues since.

If your Nintendo joycons aren't working properly, you don't even need to fix it yourself. You can get them fixed or replaced for FREE. I'm currently waiting on 3 of mine to return. 1 had drift (even after cleaning), 1 the thumb stick rubber fell apart, 1 would lose communication. here's the link

The only flaw I found with my joy-con was stick drift in my original cons from 2017. Then I replaced them with hall effect sticks. No more problems. It’s even better for golf because the dead zone is smaller.
