Nintendo has officially confirmed that the Joy-Con controllers for the upcoming Switch 2 will not utilize the advanced Hall effect sensors to avoid stick drift. Instead, the new controllers have been redesigned entirely, promising improved movement quality and durability. In interviews, Nintendo executives highlighted the enhanced feel of the controllers while remaining vague about the specific internal mechanics. The decision raises questions about the long-term performance of the Joy-Con 2, especially in relation to ongoing concerns about stick drift seen in prior models.
The Joy-Con 2's controllers have been designed from the ground up," Nintendo of America Senior Vice President of Product Development & Publishing Nate Bihldorff told enthusiast site Nintendo Life in a recent interview. "They're not Hall effect sticks, but they feel really good.

The control sticks for Joy-Con 2 controllers have been redesigned and have improved in areas such as durability," a Nintendo spokesperson told VGC.
We haven't shared what the inner mechanisms are of those control sticks, and if I were to dive into it, it would basically be sharing the whole blueprint of the control stick." Tetsuya Sasaki.
