A patent filed by Nintendo suggests that they’re working on Hall Effect style joysticks for the Switch 2 that would eliminate stick drift almost entirely.

HI! My son just received a Nintendo Switch for Xmas. Would you mint telling me more about those Hall Effect stick i.e., brand/model? It'd be interesting to know hot to get them "just in case". Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello! I just remembered your message.

Here's an article about the ones I bought (though I bought them through another site besides Amazon because I'm not an Amazon fan.

Anyway, the process is pretty easy, though there are some smallish cables to be careful about.

Hey, thanks a lot. I'm not an Amazon fan as well, so I'd buy them elsewhere when/if needed.
