Hall effect and ALPS analog sticks are different technologies used in game controllers for detecting movement of the joystick. ALPS sticks use potentiometers, which are mechanical components that change resistance as they move, while Hall effect sticks use magnetic fields to detect position. Hall effect sticks are generally more accurate, have less drift over time, and often offer a smoother feel, but can be more expensive and power-hungry.
Mechanical resistance sticks are the ones that will drift over time as the resistance wears due to friction. Hall effect sticks should not encounter this drift after prolonged use like mechanical ones can.

Actually, it looks like there's a cheaper one already on SD: https://slickdeals.net/f/18375631-8bitdo-ultimate-2c-wireless-controller-w-hall-effect-joysticks-purple-25-49-free-s-h-w-walmart-or-on-35?attrsrc=JFYC

Sensitivity and tension:
While Hall effect joysticks can offer a smoother feel, some users find that they have slightly less tension compared to potentiometer joysticks, which can affect the feel of the joystick's movement. Some manufacturers have addressed this by offering adjustable tension for their Hall effect joysticks.
