Nintendo's latest handle patent has been exposed: Hall-like rocker design, which is expected to completely solve the problem of Switch drift

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, Sept. 11 (Xinhua)-- it is well known that the handle and joystick drift of Nintendo Switch consoles is a constant problem, and even though sales have exceeded 100 million, officials have not completely fixed this defect.

But a new patent filed by Nintendo shows that Nintendo is indeed working on it. In its patent application, Nintendo details a joystick that uses a magnetic field to send motion data through a controller, similar to the Hall effect joystick as a whole.

Hall effect rocker refers to the accurate acquisition of rocker control data through Hall sensor. Because it is a contactless sensor, it not only has a longer service life, but also does not affect the control accuracy because of wear.

However, the Hall joystick is more demanding and expensive for a dust-free environment, and it is not clear whether Nintendo will actually install this part, after all, it is only a patent, and CTOnews.com friends can lower their expectations.
