Infineon Technologies has launched the third generation of the XENSIV 3D magnetic Hall-effect sensor family.

Mercury V75 – A mid-range model featuring Gateron Jade Pro Hall Effect switches, a half-aluminum frame, and the same ultra-fast 8000Hz polling rate with 0.125ms latency.

Arya highlighted that Allegro is the leader in producing magnetic sensors critical to the operation of electric vehicles (EVs) and safety-focused advanced driver assist systems (ADAS).

New 2D quantum sensor breakthrough offers new opportunities for magnetic field detection Date: May 29, 2025 Source: University of Cambridge Summary: Physicists have unveiled a breakthrough in ...

Named after physicist Edwin Hall, Hall-effect sensors leverage the Hall-effect principle to detect and measure magnetic fields, making them essential ingredients in various automotive systems.

Engadget has asked Nintendo why the company opted not to use Hall effect tech in the Joy-Con 2. We've also asked whether the Switch 2 Pro Controller foregoes Hall effect sensors as well.

The Hall Effect can be used to measure the type, number, and properties of the charge carriers in different materials, as well as to detect the presence of a current or a magnetic field.

After dealing with years of widespread reports of "stick drift" on the original Switch Joy-Cons, Nintendo watchers have been hoping the Switch 2 would make use of magnetic Hall effect sensors that ...

I keep parsing this story title as implying that Hall effect sensors are the cause of stick drift, and that's the reason why the Switch 2 joysticks won't use the technology instead of the other ...

Tunneling magnetoresistance, a technology that boosted hard drive storage capacities two decades ago, could be a permanent solution to joystick drift.
