Title: Nintendo may replace Switch 2 Joy-Cons with stick drift for free, as gamers regret lack of Hall effect

Hall Effect joysticks likely wouldn't work with the form factor. Hall Effect joysticks are susceptible to magnetic interference and Switch 2 joycons use pretty strong magnets for connecting to the console.

Is "hall effect" actually a good thing or just an overhyped snake oil?
