Swtich 2 Joy-Cons confirmed HAVE NO HALL EFFECT STICKS

I can confirm. I have an 8 year old Switch and I played in hand held mode while in the passenger seat. Probably clocked in 800 hours. The thing I had trouble with personally was solved with metal lock buckles.

It was probably me, but yea whatever, 3rd party controllers

Seriously. The pads on my joysticks are worn down and I have zero drift issues. Are these people throwing their joycons through the wall or something?

Of course they don't. The PS6 and every console until the end of time won't. Cutting corners is more lucrative than giving people something that lasts.

sticks don't have to be hall effect to not drift. notably, there are other technologies than hall effect to achieve drift-free sticks, or you can also just make potentiometer sticks that aren't complete garbage, which is what was done 20 years ago. it's definitely way too early to say anything about drift or durability.
(also it's possible that the Senior Vice President of Product Development & Publishing doesn't actually know shit about the inside of a stick and it is actually hall effect, which wouldn't surprise me in a big company like Nintendo. but the fact that he specifically said "they're not hall effect" makes this harder to believe.)

Do you niggers even know what the Hall effect even is

n64 sticks were literally breaking, it's nothing like the potentiometer issue of current stick drift.

the joysticks hadn't yet been cost-reduced to oblivion.

What about the pro controller?

Yes. The Hall effect is the production of a potential difference (the Hall voltage) across an electrical conductor that is transverse to an electric current in the conductor and to an applied magnetic field perpendicular to the current.

"Hall effect" is just a term used to mislead laypeople and sell controllers. A good potentiometer-based controller is just as good, if not better, than a Hall effect one.

Probably the same shit. Get a 3rd party controller that works on Switch 2
It means my shit is more durable, that's all I care about

t.alpsJew

the one nintendo suit that said this did not specifically say the pro controller wouldn't have hall effect sticks.

People can claim what they want on the internet. I remember the so called class action lawsuit for the Joycon a while back and despite it being advertised all over the internet (and even appearing on normal news media), the total number of applicants for the lawsuit for any reason why their joycon wasn't working (including dropping it), it ended up being rather low. The doomposters were giving all sorts of reason why it was low instead of the glaringly obvious answer that it really wasn't that big of an issue.

I definitely think it was a quality control thing. Two of my joycons I had since day one were completely fine, yet another two got drift after like five years. I'm super autistic with taking care of my Switch so like there wasn't a damage or dust situation.

Designed from the ground up

NOT AGAIN

You guys are seriously moronic. Do you have any idea how easy it is to fix joycon drift yourself? I would prefer the new mouse feature over getting Hall effect

The steam deck doesn't have hall effect either yet I've never seen anyone cry about that

I have a early Switch (at least early enough where I can load CFW) and I still haven't gotten drift. When is that supposed to kick in again?

You can replace the Deck sticks with hall effect sticks though

I think the lack of analog triggers is worse than the lack of meme effect sticks.

I would only prefer Hall Effecf if it's 99.99% proven to be at least twice as effective at preventing drifting than normal controllers. If I'm paying more, I want guarantees it's worth the extra price, not a 'maybe it won't drift for an extra couple of months'.

Hall effect isn't the only way to reduce stick drift anon

Depends on how much you use. The more you use the more friction(plastic with plastic) happens

umm chuddy, how else is small india studio nintendrajeet supposed to make money??? you are not racist are ya?

it literally cannot drift. 100% proven.
the stick can still be built like shit and have other issues though.

OP is exaggerating and baiting but you are being silly too. When you buy a product most people don't want to fix it themselves. They want it to work.

meant for

Honestly I'll probably skip the switch 2 until late in to it's lifecycle regardless of cost, I barely played the first switch at all despite buying it on launch

xenoblade games

fire emblem

pokemon

mario odyssey

that's all I've played on it, I tried botw and absolutely hated it and it seems like that's the new zelda formula so zelda is essentially doa for me from now on and I don't really have any desire to play another new mario any time soon so I can just wait 4-5 years and pick up all the games I would have played at once

Well because of entropy nothing will never not break eventually. It’s good that it’s extremely easy to fix if it does happen

1) No one but Nintendo knows what sticks they use. Eurogamer or some shit was claiming reps told them they were hall effect.
2) They don't have to be hall effect as long as they don't drift. Nintendo has patented Switch sticks with hall effect as well as regular Switch sticks where they fixed the part that was wearing out and causing drift

Hall effect sticks are a meme.

there's no console on the market that has hall effect sticks
why is just Nintendo that get shit for it?

That's a retarded argument faggot.

No console had default mouse controller on their controllers before the Switch 2 yet Nintendo did it. Mouse controls are good, even if you don't use it's there for people who do and will appreciate that.

Same for hall effect sticks. Except you will use it and you'll spend less. Which is good. Unless you're a Nintendo cultist who wants to give more money to Nintendo for no reason.

NOOOOOOOOO YOU WILL BUY IT

The only issue I had was with the pro controller ( and it only showed up after 7 years). But it's really fucking bad, I had to open up and fix that myself
I have launch console joycons and they literally NEVER drifted

never experience drift on any console

switch releases

every other console released now has drift

I don’t understand. I could fix drift on my own at least, what annoyed me was the controls disconnecting whilst attached to the system. Hopefully the magnets have fixed that.

Dreamcast was the first console to have hall effect sticks.

Saturn got it before the Dreamcast.

I had never experienced drift before until playing resident evil 4 on a friend's PS5.

I got a new set of Joycons for Metroid Dread since my stock ones were drifting and only played one playthrough of Dread with them. I tried using them recently and they drift. My brother might have played with them but he takes good care of his stuff too. I think it's just a crapshoot.

Launch day switch

Play sparingly over a period of ~1 year

Drift is bad enough to require new joycons

You won the QC lottery.

Well, they probably can't use hall effect sticks to be fair
the console connects magnetically to the joycons

How did you fix the Pro Controller, did you have to replace the analog stick or just reseat it? Mine's starting to act up too after 5 years, still mild for now but I imagine it'll get worse

No, they don't, evidently so >I'll just list chatGPG technical Garbo without understanding what it means in terms of why this technology leads to better joysticks.

use 4 big ass magnets to secure joycons to the console

hurr why not hall effect

Mine started acting up after 6 years. Went the DIY route and it was surprisingly pretty simple, good as new now. The L button on the left Joycon also got really insensitive and tearing it apart somehow fixed that too.
