Switch 2 Joy-Con Will Not Feature Hall Effect Sticks (www.nintendolife.com)

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.

They raised prices a ton, and they didn't even switch to the better sensor type that would fix such a persistent issue? Why?

They decided to use joycons to nickel and dime their customers.

same company that made a system that could always wirelessly pair with bluetooth headsets/ear buds but didn't enable that function for 4 YEARS then randomly dropped a software update activating that feature. That will always blow my mind.

Didn’t enabling audio mean you couldn’t have 4 players connected while in use, though? But, if you’re using headphones you probably don’t have more than one player anyway.
