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.
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.
Sorry I legitimately took that as you thinking that stick drift could be “fixed” by calibrating the controller, as in the controller would be back to normal.
Yeah you can do a workaround to at least stop the games from registering the drift as input, but I think if you suggest that then you need to make sure people are aware of the loss in precision and that it will make the stick feel unresponsive.
Taking my downvote away.
