[Help Needed] Any recommendation for alternative to JoyCon? (self.nintendo)

So, my both my JoyCon have a bad drift, and the extra one I got also have the same issue. I am looking for some third party handheld controller for Switch.

Only need it for handheld, since Pro Controller is pretty great and I have no issue with it when playing docked.

I have done some research, but was hoping to get some personal feedback from the lovely people in the community.

So, any recommendations?

German here. I had to send mine in four times since buying them, and always got a joke invoice of zero Euro for the repairs/swap. However, they never said they were going to replace them for free, and the poor guy I pestered on the hotline just kept saying I should send them in, as if he was forbidden to make any promises.

Long story short; it can't hurt to try even when they not openly advertise the free-of-charge repairs.
