Quantum mechanics might have the solution to joystick drift

Magnets do too
Did you even read the article? This solution also uses magnets but requires smaller magnets and its more sensitive and the response curve is more linear than with Hall effect sensors. So it’s more accurate than Hall effect sensors, smaller and uses less power.

Read the article. This is an improvement over Hall effect sensors.

Ahhh you got me
Just read it but still magnets already do it I’m just saying

Is accuracy or size even an issue with hall effect sensors? Hall effect sensors can have plenty of resolution and can also be small, the PSVita 1000 had hall effect sensors and those are smaller than the switch joycons

And a switch costs, MSRP, ~300€/$. So they just got 45,000,000,000, 45 billion dollars. Or, in other words: They could raise the MSRP by 6$. Which would be justified for a then better product.
They are never going to sell a product like that for €306 or whatever. They'd probably bump it up to €349 in that case

My ps1 controler have not gotten stick drift in.. how long now? 30 years?
Is that a lost technology like in sci-fi books?
Idk man.
30 years ago this came out.
The traditional controller for PS1 didn't have joysticks. You needed a DualShock for that, or it's predecessor the Dual Analog controller.
But yeah year or two here there, the DualShocks and PS controllers after that were very good controllers.
But those first decent ones came out more like at the turn of the millennium than halfway through the 90's as you imply.
Back then it ps1 without joysticks and from 96 on N64 with extremely shitty joysticks. Gamecube came out in 2001 and Nintendo had clearly learned it's lesson — to an extent.

Also, Hall effect fixes all problems, since decades. Why weren't they used widely? Because that would cost poor little Nintendo/M$/Sony a few cents more. So they sure as hell won't implement that new thing.
Hall effect sensors are crazy expensive. Sony has controllers with them and they're more than twice as expensive as the normal ones. It's very unlikely that Sony would set this insane price without a good reason.

These new type of sensors require less power so that’s the biggest advantage. But them needing smaller magnets probably could mean they can be manufactured cheaper than Hall effect sensors. The increased accuracy and size shrinkage is just a bonus on top.

My original Dualshocks as well as Dualshocks 2 from back in the day still have no stick drift
