FYI, these (and many others) don't truly compare to the OEM Nintendo version. The Nintendo charging grip has the GL/GR (rear paddles) buttons as well, essentially turning your JoyCons into a budget Switch 2 Pro controller.

Yes, the OEM version is 3x the price, but the rear buttons are a feature that is often overlooked with these grips. If you play games where you are constantly mashing the left stick to sprint, being able to bind that LS button input to a rear button will drastically reduce wear on your left stick.

While I don't have any definitive proof, it's been speculated that left stick movement coupled with mashing LS attributes to stick drift.

Curious... If you still have to tilt the left stick to give direction on where to run, wouldn't it still cause the drift anyway?

Theres some copies of the OEM version that look just like the Nintendo version for under $20 on Amazon . Reviews mention how it's nearly identical
