Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed
Nintendo has finally given us a first look at its next console, the Switch 2.
A Direct is announced for April 2nd to cover the games.

Hoping they add Hall effect sensors and eliminate drift once and for all
It looks like the controllers attach to the screen magnetically, which may interfere with the sensors of Hall Effect sticks
Hall effect sensor expert here! No, the magnets in the joycons that are used to attach to the display/body of the Switch 2 would not interfere with hall effect analog sticks.
Two reasons:
- The magnets are too far away (sensors are usually only sensitive to magnets within 10-12mm directly above/below)
- The mounting/attachment magnets would be perpendicular to the magnets in the analog sticks (if you imagine the flux lines they wouldn't cross the sensory boundary).
Regardless, it would be trivial to place a tiny little piece of ferromagnetic blocking tape wherever necessary to prevent interference.
Would the NFC system in the stick interfere with hall effect sensors?
I’m not a scientist but I’m pretty sure theyd be able to calibrate the sensors to ignore the magnetic force of the attachment points
Maybe, I got the Pimax Portal a while back and due to their magnetic attachments Hall Effect sticks wouldn't work. I'm sure Nintendo would have a better time solving this issue than Pimax would though
That Doesnt affect Hall & Oates sensors, though.
Rumors/Leaks had them and they were right about what we see in the trailer so hopefully. I'm hoping yes, nintendo must be tired of repairing joycons ^^
The joy cons were awful for that.
I updated my Joycons to the hall effect sticks and they're awesome. No drift after several months.
