Switch drift was so bad, im not getting the new switch unless it goes months without drift reports first.
- I upgraded my joycons to the guilykit joysticks and they are wonderful. And its not even that difficult. Took me about 30 minutes for both. But it's a shame that I had to change them at all.
  
  Do Amiibos still work with the new sticks?
  
  The NFC reader isn't on the sticks, so I don't see why they wouldn't.
  
  I thought they were, since you touch the stick with it.
  
  It's actually around the stick, not in. Check a right joycon teardown, you'll see the antenna stuck to the inside of the shell.
  
  Yes.
