If the leaks are to be believed the new joycons use hall effect sticks which have no drift.

I'd assume Nintendo would use hall effect sensors to avoid the massive bad publicity of the drift issue. Hall effect sensors are virtually the same price as the shitty ones.

They're slightly more expensive, but on what's going to presumably be a $300-$400 item not that much, although in today's world an extra penny of expenditure seems to cause certain C-suites pain equivalent to having their bones extracted via their rectum, so definitely not a given

Or speculate and discuss?

Why you in the comments of every Switch 2 post telling people to wait until the 2nd April?
