A Hall Effect joystick replaces the traditional potentiometer with a magnetic sensor.

Instead of relying on physical contact, Hall Effect sensors measure joystick movement using magnets. Since there is significantly less mechanical wear, they are much more durable and resistant to drift.

This technology has become increasingly popular among gamers looking for a long-term solution instead of repeatedly replacing controllers.
