That's neat, but if they're still prone to stick drift and if they aren't free replacements (looks like $20 apiece, that's a bit insane) then that doesn't really improve the situation

If they're not Hall-effect, they most likely are susceptible. That said, I use my controller a lot (I have wrist issues that make using a mouse painful, so I only play games with a controller) for about a year now and I haven't yet noticed any drift. At any rate, I do hope a nice Team Controller 2 comes out with Hall-effect sticks that works for everyone.
