Nintendo's Alarmo could improve future Joy-Con reliability

nintendolife.com

Nintendo's new product, Alarmo, features Hall effect sensors, which are more reliable than previous technology. This could indicate that future Switch controllers may also use this technology, potentially reducing issues like stick drift. The Hall effect sensors were found during a teardown by iFixit. They are expected to improve the long-term reliability of Alarmo's dial, which is used to navigate its menus. Nintendo has not confirmed details about the next-generation Joy-Con controllers, but they will connect magnetically to the main system and may include mouse-like capabilities.
