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.

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

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 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
