Prominent Switch 2 leaker NextHandheld has once again stated that the new console’s Joy-Con controllers will feature hall effect joysticks, apparently evident in the system teardown.
The original Switch Joy-Cons had a major stick drift issue, which hall effect joysticks should correct. (Finally).
Hall Effect joysticks are a type of joysticks that use magnets and electrical conductors to measure their position, distance, and movement when in use. Unlike standard analog sticks, which use electrical resistance to detect movement, Hall Effect joysticks have no physical contact between the moving parts. This means that they do not wear out easily, and they do not develop stick drift, which is a common pain point for gamers. Stick drift is when the stick starts to behave unpredictably and causes unwanted movement in your game – Windows Central article
