A:AnswerOnly answering here to point out that this question has been asked 3x but never officially answered.
This suggests to me, and I would love to be corrected, that this is NOT the hall effect model. Now this answer will show up when filtered by "only answered questions". Have a good day!
A:AnswerYes, solid controller. I have PC and Switch games and I like that it can do both in addition to Play Station and Xbox. Good mapping software to assign different profiles to the different platforms.
A:AnswerIt does not have HD rumble. It just normal rumble. The rumble feel nice but not as great as the HD rumble. The feature of the 8bitdo pro 2 can change button layout on a app or software downloaded from the 8bitdo website. The features on the 8bitdo pro feel nice to have like back button and the layout is different from the switch pro controller. It look like a ps4 controller.
A:AnswerNo, this model does not use hall effect joysticks. There is another model that looks just like this one, but that does have hall effect joysticks - and Best Buy just recently has made it available.
