Nintendo isn’t using anti-drift Hall effect sensors on Switch 2 joysticks (arstechnica.com)

The moment Nintendo did not address the sticks AT ALL during the Direct it was obvious Switch 2 would not have Hall Effect.

Given how big of a deal drift was with the Switch, the marketing would have jumped on that if it were the case.

I assume the sticks were redesigned to (hopefully) be more resistant to drift, but I would not be surprised when these issues will make the news eventually... Again.
