Hall Effect joysticks which are only available on the Bluetooth version...

>Hall Effect joysticks which are only available on the Bluetooth version. These sticks use magnets instead of potentiometers to calculate, so they are not prone to drift issues. While they have been used in gaming controllers before, they’re usually used in machinery where precision and longevity are vital.
Will the Switch finally have a controller that doesn't drift?

At least they aren't sad enough to pretend they invented joysticks. Sega was doing this shit decades ago, it doesn't work.

Potentiometers are fine when they're decent. The problem is that modern pot joysticks are made on the absolute limit of usability, where even minor use will break them. There's no reason to switch to hall effect, what you should be doing is boycotting companies that use this "alps" garbage that has no fucking relation to Alps anymore, it's a bastardised version of their design to save a few cents on production while producing a product with zero QC.

Are 8BitDo posters the biggest shills on Any Forums?

Genshit chinkpact will hold that throne forever

I'd say these are about equal.

Switch already has one of these. Gulikit King Kong 2, bruv.

Nothing wrong with Hall effect joysticks, dude.
>Doesn't work
Stop making shit up.

sage and report for advertising

symmetrical sucks for everything except retro games

>everything except retro games
The only games worth playing are retro.

If one stick is better on the top left, why isn't the other stick on the top right?

because ergonomics are decided by where your thumbs go, not where the fucking sticks go, retard.

Why is one thumb on the top left, but the other on the bottom right? Are one of your thumbs disfigured?

>>Stop making shit up.
They don't work. It's to do with amplification, and signal to noise ratio. Hall effects are best used in large joysticks where the range of motion can be gear ratio'd out to provide a wide arc of travel, and thus resolution, for the sensor.

Pots are the best we have for thumbsticks. HE is prone to jitter and stilted travel as the magnet placement affects the response of the spring return.

Do you think all games are shooters? Think about how something like Zelda, or Smash Bros plays. Where are your thumbs going?

>Where are your thumbs going?
Where they need to.

So what's the problem?

don't respond to people who play shooters with controllers

some of you need to learn about low hanging fruit and its detriments

Exactly. What problem does putting the left stick in the top left solve? Asymmetrical is bad, and playing shooters with a console controller is retarded.

>Asymmetrical is bad
It's not. You have OCD.
The top most position on the controller is where your thumb naturally falls, so the most common controls should be located there, and in most cases that will be left stick and face buttons. Think about how you play Mario. You want the A button right under your thumb, because otherwise you're stretching to reach the A button, and that's slightly less comfortable.

Only Snoy boys think symmetrical analog is right.

The stick mechanism has me intrigued, but I ain't buying chinkshit.

Wii U pro's pretty good for shooters, or Dark Souls, actually.
Dualshock style symmetrical is almost never the best choice. The best thing about that controller is it's pretty much a SNES controller, so it's handy for 2D games.

>>The top most position on the controller is where your thumb naturally falls, so the most common controls should be located there
Sure.
>in most cases that will be left stick
Hahaha, no. It's the D-pad.

Expect them to make stick kits for all major controllers with drift issues. If they manage to get one to fit in a Switch pad I'll buy some.

Then why do you need the sticks?

I think you mean you won't knowingly buy chinkshit.

>most modern games play the with the D-pad
No?

I don't buy from Chinese companies.

Is the dpad good on the 8bitdo controllers? I have seen that it's either pretty good or it's too sensitive

>modern games
Most cases when you'll pull out a controller will be to play old games. What the fuck is there modern that you'd want to use a controller for? The odd Souls title, sure, but that's about it.

I have 2 controllers, the SNES-style one and the Genesis/Saturn-style one. The SNES one is dogshit and registers false diagonals, the Sega one is fine.

Does this work on the Deck/Linux? On the page there's no official support

Bad in my experience. At the very least, I think they have major quality control problems.

If you're playing retro games, why do you even need something with sticks?

>he uses chink bootleg version

because ps2 is retro

Well, this is a Switch controller, so I would assume Switch games. Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros, Splatoon, Bayonetta, Kirby, Mario Kart, Warioware...

PS2 games play better with an Xbox 360 controller, nine times out of ten.

What PS2 games used both the stick and d-pad equally?
