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.

If you put hall effect sensors in your controller, then they cannot fail and you won’t make more money.
