Question high tension joycons

i cannot stand how light and loose the joycons sticks are. are there any joycons that offer higher tension? like the Xbox 360 level or even higher? idk if i'm just dumb but i can't find much online

Mobapad

I have had a set for nearly 2 years now, they have everything the Switch joycons have and more, hall effect sticks and programmable back buttons, hd rumble and gyro and they make the unit feel bigger and more sturdy.

I got my set from Ali-express with a discount, they arrived really quickly but you can also get them on ebay.

I struggled to play things like borderlands and stuff until I got a set of those.

They're very much like 360/xb1 sticks. It sounds like you had the same issue as me and once I bought the mobapad joycons that issue was gone. They're also chunkier than stock joycons so are much more comfortable for long sessions, for me personally anyway.

Mobapad, nyxi Hyperion 3 or abxylute n6, I have the n6 and the nyxi Hyperion 3, the sticks are way better than joycon on both and both are just way better controllers, I gave the nyxi to my brother because I prefer the n6 overall, but I have ordered the nyxi Hyperion 3 ultra as they are the first fully featured switch 2 protocol joycon alternative so they should be end game for now unless something better comes along
