It is actually older than current voltmeter joysticks. It is more expensive but price change is actually minimal, I heard it was just some cents. Even worse, Nintendo had their own no contact joystick in n64. It is quite ironic that now 3rd party controllers are higher quality with lower prices
Really, the N64? The N64 stick was not in-practice long-lasting. I’ve never gone out of my way to get modern Hall effect stuff, but if they’re anything like that then I understand why they remain a niche thing for hobbyists who will baby them.
I have never had one myself but I remember people saying it was long lasting. Also they dd not use hall effect. They basically used lasers just like today’s mouses
not really. if marketing was influencing anything they would have sugar coated standard volt meter joysticks (which are used by xbox, nintendo, playstation and many more, even on their elite controllers).
The smaller third party companies market and advertise their Hall effect sticks as something special to differentiate their products from the big companies. There are probably overstated claims being made in much of this advertising, as there tends to be in all advertising.

Perhaps this is the great lie of Hall effect marketing. Everything breaks, especially if you let kids use it.
