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.

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?

Yes. Pretty much every single PS or Xbox controller I've ever owned has developed stick drift. I've had 3 Elite 1/2 controller replacements and each of them had stick drift (among other faults).
