Comic for Friday 1/13 (Early High Res)
Added 2023-01-12 17:47:47 +0000 UTCNYXI is coming out with a Switch controller featuring Hall Effect joysticks, which would theoretically make it impervious to drift. It also features rumble, something I've noticed a lot of third-party controllers ditch. The icing on the cake is that it looks like the OG Gamecube/Wavebird controllers. https://nyxigaming.com/products/nyxi-wizard-wirleless-joy-pad-for-switch-switch-oled
I'm not in the camp of people that place the Gamecube controller at god-tier (perhaps because I was never big into Smash?), but it was a pretty nice controller, and I'm awfully tempted to pick one of these up for my Switch to hopefully be done with analog drifting altogether.

I believe both the GameCube and 64 controllers are fantastic purpose built controllers for the games are designed for. I couldn't imagine playing Mario kart, Mario 64, GoldenEye or smash any other way.
