Damn, that's a shame.

The wording in the article is a bit ambiguous, but does this also mean the Pro controller won't have Hall-effect sticks, as well?

[–] Noit@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

I don’t believe we’ve had confirmation yet. They have said the Pro sticks will be smoother and less squeaky but didn’t name check Hall Effect.

This does both to spark my already astounding lack of interest in Nintendo’s latest money grab under the guise of “next gen”

To me at least, there’s nothing innovative being made at Nintendo anymore, and it seems they can’t even learn from their mistakes.

.... We know.

I didn't.

The moment Nintendo did not address the sticks AT ALL during the Direct it was obvious Switch 2 would not have Hall Effect.

Given how big of a deal drift was with the Switch, the marketing would have jumped on that if it were the case.

I assume the sticks were redesigned to (hopefully) be more resistant to drift, but I would not be surprised when these issues will make the news eventually... Again.

If you put hall effect sensors in your controller, then they cannot fail and you won't make more money.

Yes, greed. Imagine spending $5 more per controller in manufacturing, and losing on the potential sales of replacement controllers. Sounds like a lose-lose from their point of view.
