More and more keyboards and video game controllers employ Hall effect sensors, but what exactly is this technology? We break it down.

Even with Hall Effect sensors, I found that sometimes small movements would not be picked up by the controller —sometimes to catastrophic in-game results.

What you’ll learn: Insight on Diodes Inc.’s first automotive-compliant 3D linear Hall-effect sensor. How it allows for reliable and high-precision contactless rotary motion and proximity ...

Graphene-based Hall sensors represent a significant advancement in magnetic field measurement by harnessing the exceptional electrical and mechanical properties of graphene.

All importantly, however, both have Hall effect sensors under the thumbsticks and triggers, which should make them stick-drift immune.

I keep parsing this story title as implying that Hall effect sensors are the cause of stick drift, and that's the reason why the Switch 2 joysticks won't use the technology instead of the other ...

After dealing with years of widespread reports of "stick drift" on the original Switch Joy-Cons, Nintendo watchers have been hoping the Switch 2 would make use of magnetic Hall effect sensors that ...

8BitDo has just launched its latest controller and the Ultimate 2 Wireless is packing some seriously slick sticks. Hall sensor thumbsticks have become the norm for gaming controllers in the last ...

Nintendo’s Alarmo uses the tech that could solve Joy-Con stick drift The dial control atop Alarmo uses a magnetic Hall effect sensor for improved accuracy and durability.
