the og steam controller has hall effect triggers and I never heard any issues with them, some third party controller companies like 8bitdo have also used hall effect on their sticks for a while and I don’t think I’ve seen any complains.
that said, the sticks are gonna be TMR which is … slightly different magnetic technology.
Been using the 8BitDo TMR sticks for a while, and they’re great so far. There’s no super long-term usage yet, the technology just isn’t old enough yet for anyone to have 10+ years of real world usage, but it’s fantastic hardware thus far, and I have faith in it to last as long as I’ll want to use the controllers for, unlike say, my Switch Pro Controllers (which I promptly replaced with 8BitDo controllers with TMR after discovering how bad the drift was on my OG ones).
