Hall effect sensors offer a more durable and reliable alternative to potentiometers. These sensors work by detecting changes in magnetic fields to determine the joystick’s position.

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

It’s something [mircemk] demonstrates, with an Arduino-powered magnetic field strength meter that uses a UGN 3503U Hall effect device. The circuit is extremely simple, comprising the sensor, an ...

Linear Hall-Effect Sensor According to the datasheet, SS49E is a linear hall-effect sensor that is operated by the magnetic field from a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.

After dealing with years of widespread reports of "stick drift" on the original Switch Joy-Cons, Nintendo watchers have been hoping the Switch 2 would make use of magnetic Hall effect sensors that ...

The Switch was notorious for its Joy-Con stick drift, and Nintendo wants to change that What are Hall-effect joysticks and why are they important for Switch 2?

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

There’s a lot to love about the PS5 DualSense controller, but there’s also one big oversight--it doesn’t use Hall Effect joysticks. That means it can--and often does--succumb to joystick ...
