One of the biggest issues that’s plagued the Nintendo Switch since its launch in 2017 is stick drift. In fact, Nintendo faced several lawsuits as a result of the issue, with an ex-repair supervisor previously stating that the workload to fix drifting Joy-Con was “very stressful”.
Now, while we can acknowledge that Nintendo has undoubtedly been working hard behind the scenes to mitigate the issue for the upcoming Switch 2, we’re nevertheless disheartened to confirm that the Joy-Con 2’s joysticks will not be Hall Effect.
Yeah I am done with the Mario console.
Yeah you should switch to PS because their controller has hall effect sticks.
Wait, no they don’t either. Neither does Xbox.
Do those consoles have a history of drifting sticks across all their first party controllers?
I have a PS5 and have had to repair at least one stick per year on a pair of controllers.
Did you know someone made an online tool for calibrating the sticks for dualshock controllers?
It saves the config on the controller too so it stays when you go back to the PS5.
Just as an option to replacing the sticks again.
