Throughout the Nintendo Switch era, Joy-Con Drift – where controllers respond to movement even without pressure being applied to the control sticks – has been a frequent complaint among users. This can be quite annoying, leaving many wondering if there will be any action taken regarding this issue with the Joy-Cons for the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. At present, it’s hard to say definitively, but hints of a resolution have surfaced from an unexpected source.
iFixit’s YouTube video reveals the inner workings of Nintendo’s recently released clock device, Alarmo. It turns out that Alarmo utilizes a Hall effect sensor and magnet, which contribute to its precision and durability in the long run, ensuring that the dial functions properly for an extended period.
In light of The Verge’s observation about third-party controllers using a similar technology to combat drift issues with their control sticks, it could be plausible that Nintendo is also aware of this tech’s potential benefits for the Joy-Cons in the Nintendo Switch 2. Fingers crossed that they are indeed considering this and we can anticipate improved controllers with fewer problems!
To date, Nintendo has remained vague about the specific alterations being implemented for the Switch 2. The device was initially presented in January, through a brief video which suggested several modifications. Based on this video, we can infer that the Joy-Cons will be larger and the internal buttons expanded. Additionally, there appears to be a potential feature allowing the controllers to function like a computer mouse, although Nintendo has yet to confirm this detail.
In April next month, we’re anticipating some exciting updates about the Nintendo Switch 2, as a special Nintendo Direct presentation is scheduled for April 2nd. Although the details of what will be covered during the live stream remain unknown, it’s likely that new games and system features will be unveiled. Regarding Joy-Con Drift, which has been an issue since its initial reveal, Nintendo hasn’t said much about potential solutions like Hall effect sensors. Instead, we might need to wait for tech channels like iFixit to analyze the new controllers. On a positive note, the recent news about Alarmo seems promising!
