  • As a repair company we use these on the daily. Small error in the article: it’s not true that due to potential power demand, hall-effect sticks can’t be used one-on-one in current controllers.

    They absolutely can and we use them all the time in that application. Tmr is slightly more sensitive and thusly more accurate but that effect is hardly noticeable. Not in any meaningful way to prioritize tmr over hall, anyway.

    We do use Tmr more in controllers where the trigger sensor also has hall-effect. Less interference that way.

    So they both solve different problems for us and are therefore used in different scenarios.







  • We’re on holiday in Thailand and we visited the old king’s summer palace. Our guide told us a super sad story:

    Apparently there was an accident long ago involving the queen and her baby daughter when the boat they were on, sank on the palace lake.

    Even though there were lots of people around who were able to help, no-one could save them because nobody was allowed to touch the royals.

    The queen and baby daughter drowned with everybody watching powerlessly.

    Heartbreaking stuff man. Needed a moment to process that…
