Switch 2 confirmed as not hall effect. But hopefully there won't be drift problems anyway.

Why did drift suddenly become an issue with controllers? I don't remember it ever being a thing before the Switch and then PS5. I never had issues with older consoles. Did anyone else?

But I do wonder why all the console manufacturers are allergic to hall effect. It can't be that expensive when reasonably priced controllers from 8bitdo EasySMX etc have them.
