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.

Or, do some standard controllers use Hall effect sensors, and for the controllers that don’t use Hall effect, those are the ones where users have had the problem.

By following this guide and replacing the potentiometers with Hall effect sensor sticks, you can permanently fix PS5 joystick drift and enjoy a controller that performs like new for years to come.

Insensitivity to TiltThe differential sensor, which possesses an inherent ability to reject offsets, when integrated into the package with a back-biased magnet, provides insensitivity to tilt. New ...

Essentially, Hall effect sensors measure the strength of a magnetic field to detect movement, as opposed to regular input sensors that rely on physical contact.

Using the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), researchers devised an extremely sensitive magnetic-field sensor with low noise.

GuliKit has unveiled some interesting information on how to avoid Joy-Con drift on Nintendo Switch using its "Hall Joystick" sensors.
