I had to look this up but “Hall effect sticks” are a new generation of joy cons that are going into the Xbox and PS5 controllers, Nintendo here is choosing to use an older technology that was more susceptible to joy con drift. Folks are worried the switch 2 will experience the same issue cause they didn’t upgrade the joycons.
- Rooster61 2y agoHall effect sticks have been around since the 1980's. Definitely not new tech. The reticence to adopt probably comes primarily from avoidance of higher initial costs, and the desire for planned obsolescence. Paying a premium for more reliable electronics more often than not translates to less profits in the long run.
