Nintendo has filed a patent for ‘smart fluid’ joysticks, perhaps to eliminate drift | VGC (www.videogameschronicle.com)

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

I have swapped out my Switch analogues with these, and they're great, I also did it with my Ayn Odin, and the 2nd set had slightly stronger magnets, that caused some touch screen issues, so I swapped out my switch analogues with the odin ones. So I'm gonna guess that the next Nintendo console will be another portable, and they probably don't want the issues of magnets near screens.
