Since its release in 2017, rocker drift issues have always plagued the Nintendo Switch.The issue even sparked multiple class action lawsuits, with a former maintenance supervisor who said the workload of handling drift Joy-Con was "pressure."

Although Nintendo is definitely secretly improving this flaw for Switch2, it has been confirmed that the new generation of Joy-Con2 will not be equipped with Hall effect rocker technology.The news comes from an exclusive interview with Nintendolife's Nintendo executive Nate Bihldorff, who clearly ruled out this possibility.It is worth noting that he did not state whether the Pro controller adopts the technology, but his attitude to quickly shift the topic might suggest a negative answer:

Q: "Let's put aside the sensitivity topic for the moment and talk about the Switch2 Joy-Con's joystick - it feels very different from the original. Is this a Hall effect rocker? Are you inspired by this technology?"

A: "The controllers of the Joy-Con2 are completely new. They are not Hall effect rockers, but they feel great. Have you tried both versions of the Joy-Con and Pro controllers? I personally like it, but when I first held the Pro controller, the feeling made me exclaim, 'This is simply GameCube handle'. As a GameCube player, that familiarity hits me, especially the rocker part. We spent a lot of time ensuring it's silent - I don't know if you shake it hard, but it's really quiet. It reminds me of the days when I was crazy about rocking my rockers while playing Nintendo Smash Bros. The Switch2 Pro controller is one of the quietest handles I've ever used."

Bihldorff's statement about the silentness of the Pro controller also echoed in Nintendo's developer interviews.Producer Hiroichi Kawamoto said when talking about the Pro controller: "The left and right rockers are specially designed, and even if they are quickly pushed to the limit, they are almost silent. The sliding is extremely smooth, which we call internally "silk rockers."

Sasaki Takashi, the head of development, also later revealed that Nintendo has long been committed to building the "peak of controller technology", but it has not clearly stated whether the Switch2 Pro controller has achieved this goal.
