Here's something a bit interesting. Various first party manufacturer controllers, whether it be Joycons/DS/Xbox controller, they all seem to be having a drifting issue and iFixit explains why:

TLDW: They all use the joysticks from the same manufacturer. And the official ratings from the manufacturer could be exceeded by their Call of Duty player after only 400 hours of playing! So if you were to play for 4 hours a day lets say... That would be 100 days of playing games before the joysticks would exceed the manufacturer specifications and could start to drift!

Remember, this same joystick setup is on the $180 Xbox Elite Controller!
