Everything you need to know about Joy-Con driftwww.theverge.com
What is “Joy-Con drift”?
Joy-Con drift is an issue that Switch owners have been encountering over the last few months that causes the analog sticks on the controllers to randomly move around and input commands to the console, even when they’re not being physically moved.

Nintendo Switch 2 could have an unbelievable controller feature — what we know
The console may be able to predict your button presses before you make themwww.tomsguide.com
Pre-cognitive controllers sound a little like science fiction, but the patent details a software feature that would learn from your gameplay. Over time it seems like the Switch 2 would learn from your gaming patterns and use that information to speed up button presses and other input.
It sounds a little unbelievable, but with AI on hand it might not be that unrealistic. However this sort of tech has the potential to cause problems.
The first big problem is that this feature would have to track and analyze all your gameplay in order to make these predictions. Which is something that a bunch of people may not want to see happening. There’s also the question of what happens if the console gets it wrong, and tries to initiate a button press that you didn’t intend on making.
Did I predict this Nintendo switch controller feature?
Does this patent potentially solve drift?
Sony also looking at predictive gameplay........
Happy as Larry
