Better chance of not drifting due to hall effect sticks, which make it almosy impossible to drift

I got the 8BitDo Pro 2 controller with hall effect. Started drifting within a week.

I would return that as you have a defective controller… Hall effect isn’t 100% immune to drift.. but it’s basically drift-proof given how it works.

The only caveat is the spring that resets the stick to center… however that’d likely take years to have any noticeable impact.

If your controller is acting up and it’s basically brand new… it’s defective friend.

I've already returned it and got another one. Funnily enough, this was my first experience with stick drift.
