      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.

      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.
