    I use hall effect on the daily and have had none of the issues you’re discussing. I suppose time will tell, but I much prefer hall effect.

      Probably depends entirely on what games you play, and how sensitive you are, but hall effects feel like trash and destroy the joycon battery life. I tried playing Celeste with hall effects and wooooow was it bad. Basically unplayable past the early chapters.

        As a fellow celete player, I’m sorry your experience was like that, but I’m also currently using hall effect sticks on both my 8bitdo ultimate and my guillikit kong 2, it feels absolutely mint on both with no tinkering. I’m gonna have to ask you to name and shame the hall effect sticks you’re using, please. Thanks!

          Buddy says they were gulikit, yes (wasn’t my joycons). Tried them out on chapter 2 golden and some c sides. He liked them (didn’t play anything like Celeste) but had noticed the reduced battery, I could feel the reduced polling rates sometimes causing latency and throwing off timings.
