A patent filed by Nintendo suggests that they’re working on Hall Effect style joysticks for the Switch 2 that would eliminate stick drift almost entirely.

does the switch pro controller use different joysticks than the joycons?

my joycons have drift but the pro controller, which I've used more often, is perfectly fine

The technology is fundamentally the same but they are implemented differently. They joycon has less space so they needed a more compact layout. But both use potentiometers.
