calibration now happens at the hardware level rather than being limited to basic software tweaks! The tool writes calibration data directly to the controller's internal memory. That means the adjustments persist at the hardware level and aren't undone by standard firmware updates. In practical terms, once the calibration is set, it sticks.

First, go here to get started:

DriftGuard

Test and tune your gamepad: drift checks, stick visualization, and calibration tools.

Awesome, thanks for the link. I got a pesky cocksucker at home that is getting the treatment tonight and I am not talking about the wife!

I have 2 switch pro controllers with drift.

Awesome somebody actually created a tool from that news about a week ago:

I guess it means you can calibrate your sticks (zero position, max) and write it to the controller (and it won't get patched out) might help with correcting mechanical drift to a new zero position but not sure what else it's good for.
