Will Switch 2 finally kill off stick drift for good?

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.

Maybe the idea is just that Nintendo feels like third party companies would do it anyway, so why bother increasing the price to match it.. In any case the hall effect is not so cheap, even if you try to buy them yourself from China.
