“Well, the Joy-Con 2’s controllers have been designed from the ground up,” said Nate Bihldorff, senior vice president of product development and publishing. “They’re not Hall Effect sticks, but they feel really good.”

Anything is built better than joy-cons. A metal rod rubbing on a piece of graphite is just such bad design, but I get why they did it, it lets them really slim down the sticks without over complicating it.
You can replace steam deck sticks without desoldering, though the capacitive touch function I think is a soldered wire if I remember correctly.
