GuliKit has unveiled some interesting information on how to avoid Joy-Con drift on Nintendo Switch using its "Hall Joystick" sensors.

In a controller's joystick, a Hall effect sensor can be used to measure the movement of the stick without the need for a physical contact, such as a resistive track, reducing the risk of drift to ...

"They're not Hall effect sticks, but they feel really good." The confirmation comes after Nintendo pointedly refused to offer details about the Switch 2's joystick hardware at a roundtable Q&A ...
