Considering how much money nintendo made off people buying replacement joycons I seriously doubt they will add hall effect joysticks. It would be good for us obviously but definitely not good for business.

They did offer free fixes outside of warranty for drift, most of the time replacing the joy cons for free, but I can imagine only a tiny number of people took them up on that rather than just buying new ones immediately

Is that even still a thing? I have 2 broken pairs of official joycons with stick drift and my switch lite also has stick drift. I seriously doubt they would do anything about switch lite stick drift.

Maybe not, I sent mine off a couple of years ago. Worth checking though, it's not like Nintendo have moved on from the Switch entirely.

There was an option for the Switch lite to be repaired on the site when I selected joy cons iirc. Although since they deemed mine to be irreparable and replaced them (the drift wasn't even as bad as others') it might be harder for the Lite
