It's all about the relative failure rate. My understanding is that drift can and does happen on pretty much any non-Hall joystick, but that the Switch Joy-Cons were ...

If you read about Hall effect sensors — the usual way to detect and measure magnetic fields these days — it sounds ...

When operating industrial machinery, precision and accuracy are vital to a productive and safe working environment. Commonly, joysticks are used to aid in the maneuvering of heavy equipment for a ...

The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary concern is that the measurement is at main line voltage, a problem if ...

A new micropower linear Hall sensor targets extended battery life and precision motion feedback in gaming peripherals, IoT ...

Custom controllers have a rich history, with adherents ranging from the very best esports professionals, to even Timothée ...
