Controllers have been designed from the ground up

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.

    Did you know someone made an online tool for calibrating the sticks for dualshock controllers?
    It saves the config on the controller too so it stays when you go back to the PS5.

    Just as an option to replacing the sticks again.

      You can’t just “calibrate” stick drift away. You can increase the deadzone to hide it, but you lose some control precision and it doesn’t stop the stick drift from getting worse.

        Sure. That doesn’t change that’s the name of the tools to everyone else, as steam, Xbox, windows and playstation call it calibrating even if it’s technically not.

        Thank you if you were just trying to provide more context for others but it doesn’t feel like that. It’s a temp fix and information I was offering.
