One of the common problems with using a controller to game is the derivative, a problem that affects the analog sticks and causes them to move on their own, without the player intervening at any time. This problem, more common than one might expect, generally occurs on Switch controllers and PlayStation controllers and to a lesser extent on Xbox controllers, which are also not immune to the problem.
Depending on where the joystick moves alone, this can be a serious problem that we need to solve first to continue enjoying our favorite games like the first day. However, the solution is not to continually repair the remote control, with the expense that this entails.
The solution is to use a control button which, instead of using contact-operated analog joysticks, uses joysticks with a contact-operated Hall effect sensor. electromagnetism and contactless, therefore the drift effect never occurs, because frictional wear is avoided. Plus, they have a faster response than analog models, so these are all advantages.
Avoid drifting with the GameSir Nova Lite controller
On the market we can find different controls that use a Hall effect sensor, orders that have a price very similar to what can be found in official orders for Microsoft and PlayStation consoles. Added to this wide range of options is the new controller presented by GameSir, a controller that also offers this functionality and that costs half.
Gaming peripheral manufacturer GameSir has just launched the Nova Lite, a new control controller compatible with PC, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck and iOS and Android mobile devices whose joysticks use the Hall effect, so they never show the common drift problem that causes so many headaches.
Includes three connectivity options: via Bluetoothusing a cable USB-C or using the wireless key which we must connect to the USB port of our equipment. In the case of the Nintendo Switch, you can connect it directly without having to use additional devices as is the case with the PS5 and Xbox controller.
From the controller itself we can modify the functionality of the buttons and the dead zone of the sticks. It has different levels of vibration intensity and offers us a design very similar to that of the Xbox controller. The battery has a capacity of 600 mAh providing autonomy of use for approximately 10 hours and recharges in just 2 hours.
This controller weighs 310 grams including battery, 30 grams more than the weight of the PS5 controller and 30 grams less than the weight of the Xbox controller.
Pricing and availability
But best of all is the price. GameSir’s new Nova Lite controller is priced at 35.98 dollars on Amazon, half of what an original Xbox or PlayStation controller usually costs and a little more than most quality compatible controllers available on Amazon.
