Nintendo has filed a patent for ‘smart fluid’ joysticks, perhaps to eliminate drift | VGC (www.videogameschronicle.com)

Let's hope this isn't just a random patent, and we actually get better sticks next generation.

Theoretically, these could be better than Hall effect ones.

It's a tradeoff of price/size for reliability, essentially. "Better" is subjective in this case.

I understand, I was saying maybe the new ones will be objectively better. More reliable at cheaper price. Won't know until we see them in use.

The hall effect sensor on my 3d printer can measure 0.01mm. Does it really need to be "more accurate" than that?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ahan. And the hall effect sensor on joysticks have same accuracy?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I mean I could edit the firmware and make it go to 4 digits, and they use the same fkn tech so yes accuracy is just as high
