To combat notorious Nintendo JoyCon stick drift, NYXI has revealed a new controller that features Hall Effect sensors.
The phenomenon of stick drift has had a particularly bad effect on theNintendoSwitch JoyCon controllers, with a vast number of Switch owners noticing that their JoyCon sticks make unintentional inputs, even when their hands do not touch the controller.Hall Effect sensorsare immune to this problem, and gaming accessory companyNYXIhas embraced them with the newly unveiled NYXI Warrior controller.
If you ask anySuper Smash Brosplayer what the best controller is, they will inevitably reply that it is theGameCube controller. NYXI has responded to this by creating a controller that replicates the aesthetic of the original GameCube controller, but with modern functionality and the addition of Hall Effect sensors.
Hall effect & microswitches for a longer lifespan
Another feature of the NYXI Warrior controller is the use of opticalmicroswitchesfor the face buttons and D-pad. This ensures a fast response time and a longer life. Players will also be able to customize the feel of the controller by adjusting things such as trigger lengths in addition to interchangeable back paddles that can be programmed for specific actions such as activating macros or turbo functions.
Because this controller is designed for use with the Switch, functions such as the rumble feature and the 6-axis gyroscope have been faithfully recreated to make sure users can get the most out of all their games using one controller.
Though designed for use with theNintendo Switch, the NYXI Warrior can also be used with the GameCube, Wii, and Windows PCs, though you will need Windows 10 or higher to utilize this controller on PC. Connectivity is provided by Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless, or a USB-C cable.
