Let’s hope this isn’t just a random patent, and we actually get better sticks next generation.

I’ve had far more stick issues on PS5 than Switch, but that’s probably just luck of the draw.

For the record, the patent isn’t about removing drift at all, from what I can discern, it’s about adjustable resistance sticks.

Well, it’s for new type of sticks, and the design seems to be good for removing drift too.
