It's not $100.

Nintendo Switchâ„¢ Pro Controller + Super Mario Odyssey (Nintendo Switch)
You are essentially getting Mario Odyssey for $40.
You're paying about $10 for the code because the controller is $59 on Amazon. Still a good deal.
Thanks OP for the alert!
Thanks OP for the alert!
It's only my right joycon that ever drops but if I keep that hand closer to the switch and hold it a little differently it's fine ..
They can get drift like any controller, but they don't seem as susceptible to it as the joy-cons.
Inputs dropped? Do you have the launch joy-cons that don't have the wireless fix, the little foam or whatever they put in there?
No. I have yet seen any good deals in Canada as far as Switch is concerned.
My Switch is from late 2018, not sure which version the Joycons are, but they've been terrible controllers for a while and I don't use often. The signal is so weak inputs would be dropped even when playing from my bed and facing the console straight, nothing in the way.

Someone edited a threat title of mine that had an emoji some time ago. I felt robbed.

I find that hard to believe. There are no reports of drifts in the Pro Controller. Maybe yours was broken in other way?
Not sure what it would be, then. When using the joy sticks they would often gravitate towards a direction after moving them in said direction for prolonged periods of time.
I had a drift in my first Pro and am getting it in my second, too.
Almost bought it then realized I don't have a switch....I wanna buy one in January but I'm leaning towards the baby model. The lite one. So I don't think this is much of a deal for me.

Trust me on this oen. Get the regular one and not the lite.
Having the ability to play on the TV is invaluable, even if you think you will never use it that way. And also, if you have a Lite and the left joy-con gets busted, you won't be able to replace it.
Surprisingly, I've dealt with it on my pro controller but not my joy-cons (mostly on Animal Crossing).
Of course, I use it 99% of the time since I almost always play docked.
When I saw it it was on Walmart.ca. I just assumed it was Canadian Walmart. Maybe I was mistaken
You were right. Walmart.ca is Canadian Walmart. I just don't think they sell it online but I have seen it in a physical Walmart in Canada.
The second Pro Controller I bought earlier this year had drift, quite bad. After replacing, the current one has been fine since. I'm surprised you aren't aware they can have it too, I've seen it mentioned many times.
With that said, this deal is insanely good for those who can use both or like others said, sell one or the other.
Was almost going to grab mine, but missed out. There was apparently 7 left after attempting to buy one after work, but that didn't suffice.
But on the bright side, managed to snag the Switch Bundle /w the case and Nintendo subscription! And that was after doing doing my darnest to get the bundle with MK8D.

All controllers can drift, pro controllers like any controller can drift over time. But it's strange a new one is drifting out of the box unless someone bought a new one, chucked their old drifting controller in and returned it as a scam.
Could be a calibraiton issue too.
They still drift, but it takes quite a beating before it does. Not saying it will never drift. And like what Dekuman said, probably someone chucked their old ones in, so be aware of those.
Yeah I did the calibration and it didn't help. It seemed to help my joycons for a very short while though. Now that I think about it, I don't think the controller box was sealed so you might be on to something. Just looked at my box and sure enough it doesn't have any stickers so that definitely could be it. Thought they sealed those boxes but guess not.
There are lots of reports of Pro Controllers drifting lol.
That's a first for me hearing. My Joy-Cons are unplayable, so the Pro Controller have been a godsend for me.
