Quick Summary:

But Nintendo promises "redesigned" Joy-Cons are "smoother" and "more reliable".

When a reporter asked whether stick drift "is the sort of thing that has been improved with the Joy-Con 2 and the Pro Controller 2 as well," Switch 2 Technical Director Tetsuya Sasaki responded (via a translator) that the "new Joy-Con 2 controllers have been designed from the ground up from scratch to have bigger movement, and also a lot smoother movement".

"They're not Hall effect sticks, but they feel really good".
