One of the rumors around the Nintendo Switch 2 wanted the Joy-Con joysticks of the new console to avoid the famous drift which hurt his big sister so much trouble. For this, Nintendo had, still according to corridor noises, to embrace an on -board technology in certain competing controllers for some time: the hall effect (or Effect hall).
Following the Complete Switch 2 At the beginning of April, Nintendo so far dusted the questions Around the presence or not of this technology in the controllers of the console. Finally, this April 7, at Nintendo Life Big finally gave details.
Joy-Con redesigned, but without hall effect
Asked about the subject, Nate Bihldorff, Senior Vice President of Product Development & Publishing At Nintendo, says: “The Joy-Con 2 controllers were designed entirely from scratch. These are not hall effect sticks, but they give a very good feeling.“Rather vague remarks therefore, but which at least allow to be fixed around the subject of the hall effect.
Recall that the hall effect makes it possible in particular to largely avoid the Drift (the stick which blocks in one direction, making the games unplayable) and offers better performance.

A still mysterious Nintendo Switch 2 in certain areas
According to the producer of the 2 kouichi kawamoto switch, the joy-con 2 sticks will also be more durable and endowed with a more fluid movement, beyond being wider to make the experience more comfortable. This better durability therefore remains to be proven, while the technology used by Nintendo to hold such promises is not known.
See you in a few months once the console is in homes to see how better the new joysticks of the Switch 2 are better designed than those of the previous machine, and if it will be the test of time.
