The Nintendo Switch 2 will not have joysticks with hall effect sensors. Will the dreaded Joycon Drift return?

The Joycon Drift is one of the most common problems that Nintendo Switch has. Basically, it is a failure in the joysticks of the controls of the console (called Joycon) that generates unwanted movements and that can be really desperate. The company came to receive demands for launching a product with that defect and programmed obsolescence, in fact, 9 out of 10 Nintendo Switch fails at 2 years.

The Nintendo Switch 2 It will adopt a joysticks system with hall effect sensors, a technology that uses a system of magnetic sensors to be able to send the position and movement of the levers, which is much more reliable and Avoid the “drift” problem.

However, it seems that in Nintendo they have not wanted to use this technology, confirming that the Nintendo Switch 2 will not use hall sensors in their joyconswhat plant the shadow of suspicion about whether we will see this annoying problem of Joycon Drift on the Nintendo Switch 2.

The company, through several representatives, is shielding that they have “redesigned since 0” the Joycon of this new console and “feel really good.”

The decision not to include Hall effect sensors at the Switch 2 controls could simply be to reduce costs, although the console will have a price significantly higher than its predecessor and will not include OLED screen either.

Recall that the Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive on June 5 for 470 euros in its version without games. We will have to wait a few months to see if the controls of the console resist the passage of time or repeat the story of the Nintendo Switch.
