Honestly crazy that we went a whole generation dealing with drift on $70 controller.

You guys think Nintendo will actually use Hall Effect sticks out of the box for Switch 2 or are they just gonna stick with standard potentiometers again to save on production costs?

It's already been out, man. No Hall effect in sight.
