What are Hall Effect Sensors
Modified on: Thu, 18 Dec, 2025 at 10:56 AM
Our range of Gamepad controllers all include hall effect sensors. Read below to learn more about this feature.
Hall effect sensors are devices that detect the position of a joystick using magnetic fields rather than physical contact. This technology measures changes in voltage caused by the interaction between a magnetic field and electric current, allowing for precise input detection without the wear and tear associated with traditional analog sticks.
Benefits of Hall effect sensors include:
- They don’t develop stick drift.
- They will last you much longer.
- They are usually more precise than analog (but it might be different in FPS games).
- They have better dead zones.
