Would a Wireless controller be an option, plenty of Third party controllers for sale at a fraction of the price of Joy cons. Currys have the Official Pro Splatoon controller cheaper than Joy cons. I have both and I much prefer the Pro controller. Hope it helps.
Yeah its a good offer but just looking to replace basically useless ones I've had since 2019 - wich deffenatly doesn't feel long enough to need replacing looking at other consoles!

It's all the stick drift and people having to get replacements. Pro controller by far the best imo

Are they not just as vulnerable to drifting? Exact same joysticks etc?

I'm about to start the same joycon hunt, my daughter is looking for her third set since she had it. The worst thing is that I've also replaced the thumb sticks individually, and they just go the same way.
Mid last year a manufacturer came up with a protoype of hall effect sticks that are direct replacements, but I haven't seen any update on it. If they manage to put them into production they will be the hottest property since the Switch itself came out.

See lots of 3rd party ones available about £30. 3 year warranty. Currently looking myself as my son dropped it and it went in 2 pieces. Hard to Nintendo ones with the drift issues and they feel so cheap. Anyone bought the 3rd party ones they can recommend but not the bulky ones.
