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

Just use hall effect sensors like everybody else. You can buy hall effect joycon joysticks and 3rd party controllers comparable to the pro controllers that use hall effect joysticks as well. They don't drift.
