Nintendo connoiseur
some time ago, Nintendo has patented a technology for a smart fluid joystick, perhaps some of this technology was used for this magnetic field, Nintendo will use to connect it next console controllersDunno if i can believe that (at least going by shitty Chrome auto-translate).
Having the new Joy-Cons connect to the console simply by a magnet mechanism, without anything to lock them to the console like the rails on Switch 1 did, sounds extremely prone for failure, especially in the hands of kids.
Nintendo has filed a patent for ‘smart fluid’ joysticks, perhaps to eliminate drift | VGC
The fluid can become elasticated when used with a magnetic field…
