Like I posted in the wireless thread, I got one of these a few weeks ago, it works great as a PC controller but is very very clicky on the button presses. Think of the loudness as a mechanical keyboard while the ps or Xbox controllers are way more quieter and fluid, I ended up returning mine for a Xbox controller
Cannot fathom how Sony and Microsoft still sell significantly less durable controllers for well over three times the cost of these 8Bitdos. It should be illegal at this point
In layman's terms, they use magnets so the sticks don't drift. None of the major first party controllers have them.

If anyone is wondering, this is NOT what you want for Yuzu, emulators. You want the "Switch compatible" Bluetooth versions. I've read these will work as a regular controller but without motion controls.

What's the "Hall effect" thing I keep seeing 8bitdo advertise? Never heard of it before.

The only problem with Third-Party controllers for Xbox is they only allow them to be wired which sucks. It's such a dumb policy that should be illegal. There are stuff to make it wireless, but the USB is kind of pricey.

Has anyone here used hall effect sticks, and if so when compared to traditional is there a difference in feel or motion?

I ask because I have seen a few comments now complaining that the sticks do not feel as "smooth" and that the commenters ended up switching back to drift prone sticks... Is there any truth to those claims?

I had a launch XBox Series X controller last for years, before it developed stick drift. Bought a new XBox Series controller and had stick drift in about 2 months. WTF?!
I'll give these a shot for the price. You can literally buy 3-4 of these for the price M$ is charging or going to start charging in the near future... Without Hall Effect anything.

They are superior in terms of longevity and performance imo. I use Gamesir controllers and have had mine since 2023 and still zero drift or problems. Play Apex, Fortnite, NHL, FC, etc

Because of the cost cutting measures in many later revisions. Ben Heck on YT sometimes points out the difference between revisions in his weekly controller repairing/modding video. I think that's why the official Xbox wireless controller constantly goes on sale for $39.99 or even less. Its manufacturing cost is probably much lower now than it used to be.

I've tried hall effect sticks on the PowerA Advantage Plus, and can honestly say it doesn't feel as smooth or accurate as the OEM(Xbox One MicroUSB, model 1708) controllers I have, which are most likely ALPS(and obviously potentiometer). I've done some "research" and hall effect needs some extra firmware/software processing to map those magnetic signals to positional input (and smoothing) compared to the potentiometer sticks, and that's dependent on the implementation. On top of the varied physical resistance of the sticks in models(since hall effect requires none), you'll likely need to find the controller that is right for you.

Are these smaller than OEM Xbox controllers? Are the handles less bulky? Xbox controller murders my hands. After about 20 minutes ..I have to quit playing.
