“Hall Effect vs TMR” is a common debate, as these two analogues have become the two leading magnetic-sensor systems in custom and high-end controllers. Both promise to fix the classic problems of wear and stick drift that plague older potentiometer-based sticks. But they aren’t the same. Each brings its own
If you’ve ever held a controller and thought, “Why does the left stick feel different from yesterday?” you’re not imagining it.

Electronic Arts, DICE, and Battlefield are back.
