When asked about the technology inside the Switch 2’s Joy-Cons that “feels so different to the original Switch’s analog stick” during a recent interview, Nate Bihldorff, the Senior Vice President of Product Development & Publishing at Nintendo of America, told Nintendo Life that “the Joy-Con 2’s controllers have been designed from the ground up. They’re not Hall Effect sticks, but they feel really good.”
Following Nintendo’s Switch 2 presentation last week, the company shared an Ask the Developer discussion with the console’s designers that touched on technical aspects of its upgraded controllers. According to Switch 2 producer Kouichi Kawamoto, the company “redesigned everything from scratch for Joy-Con 2… Compared to the Joy-Con controllers for Switch, the control sticks are larger and more durable, with smoother movement. We’ve also made Joy-Con 2 bigger to match the larger console.”
However, while Nintendo has confirmed that the Switch 2’s Joy-Cons aren’t relying on anti-drift Hall effect sensors, it has yet to confirm exactly what technology is in use.
We’ll either find out from Nintendo itself, or have to wait until the Switch 2 finally ships and gets dissected to reveal what’s inside those controllers.
