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.

This comes via our interview with Nintendo of America’s Nate Bihldorff, who outright confirmed the exclusion. Notably, he didn’t specify whether or not the Pro Controller would include Hall Effect sticks, but the way in which he quickly deflects onto another topic probably implies that it won’t:

    Hey, your language is set to German (Deutsch) so I didn’t see your comment until I selected German in my languages too. Unsure if you intended this as your comment is English

        That depends on the client you use. If you just use the website it’s right under the text field.

        It should be in your profile settings! Idk if you’re using an app but if you visit the web app you should be able to find it in your settings.
