Hall Effect joysticks are a type of joysticks that use magnets and electrical conductors to measure their position, distance, and movement when in use. Unlike standard analog sticks, which use electrical resistance to detect movement, Hall Effect joysticks have no physical contact between the moving parts. This means that they do not wear out easily, and they do not develop stick drift, which is a common pain point for gamers

Right now they only coming out on consoles and pc as expensive controllers but they do come wirh technology that make it worth it like LCD display 1000 polling rate and programmable keys and switchable parts

I’ve been alternating between the 8bitdo ultimate for Xbox (was down to 20$ for a few week on Amazon) and the Gamesir G7 se (with Hall effects

Joysticks). Unfortunately they are both wired. The 8bitdo feels better and has an amazing app interface with mappable everything, vibration settings, tigger vibrations, multiple profiles, programmable back buttons and feels great in the hand if your an adult,, but it’s doesn’t have hall effect joysticks. So, I’m sure how they’ll be in a few months. The g7 se is good and has Hall effects but doesn’t feel as solid at the 8bitdo and is a bit more expensive at 45-50$ at most retailers. If you can find the 8bitdo ultimate for under 30$ I highly recommend it. It just sucks that there’s no decent wireless alternatives at a sub 100$ price point.

Sadly it's a downside of the current analog stick technology used by most controllers, but there are some controllers which use newer 'hall effect' sticks which are less susceptible to this issue. The GameSir G7 SE for example is a 3rd party Xbox controller which uses hall effect sticks.

Well the thing is hall effect controllers are only a recent thing

Hall effects isn't just a simple new part

It's so new no-one knows.if it does what it promises yet but with the replacable parts it will be cheaper to fix

People still swear by the analog sticks vs hall effects.

But the zero. Deadzone will.be a bonus even sony only recently had this addition for ps5

It's that new.

Keep in mind the cost is average 200 bucks for hall effects controllers and the technology hasn't been proven yet so it is a huge risk to users and you need a phone to use it for turtle beach

They use the same cheap potentiometer mechanical sensors on the joysticks. Every official MS controller will eventually start having problems. Guessing the encoding and zeroing on the different board models have different reactions to the pots wearing out.
Sony switched over to Hall effect sensors because of this since they aren't mechanical will never wear out even if the spring cage does and can be far more precise.
