Thrustmaster Announces New Heart Controller With HallEffect AccuRate Technology

Thrustmaster is thrilled to announce the integration of its cutting-edge H.E.A.R.T. (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) technology in its range of ESWAP gamepads through the new ESWAP SH5 HALL STICK MODULE mini-sticks, as well as in a new gamepad, HEART CONTROLLER. Backed by 15 years of proven expertise in magnetic sensors for flight simulation, H.E.A.R.T. delivers exceptional, lasting precision, allowing mini-stick movements to be tracked to within 0.01 degree, while eliminating drift issues.

ESWAP modular gamepads have set the standard for performance-oriented gamers and competitive gaming professionals. Now, with the integration of Hall effect technology in ESWAP modular gamepads, gamers can enjoy this innovation without having to purchase a new gamepad, by simply replacing the modules. In addition, Thrustmaster is expanding its lineup with HEART CONTROLLER, a new gamepad that natively incorporates H.E.A.R.T. technology. Gamers will benefit from the brand's expertise in a more affordable model, while enjoying the renowned precision and responsiveness of ESWAP gamepads.
ANTI-DRIFT MAGNETIC REVOLUTION
Endorsed by gamers, H.E.A.R.T. (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) represents 15 years of Thrustmaster expertise in Hall effect technology applied to flight simulation joysticks. H.E.A.R.T. provides you with unparalleled precision over time, while eliminating drift through ultra-precise magnetic sensors that measure your stick movements. Providing you with optimal control, even after hundreds of hours of gameplay.

PERFORMANCE THAT DEFIES TIME
Drift is a common problem, where the cursor moves even when the joystick is not being pressed. The potentiometers of traditional gamepads wear out over time, lose precision and cause drift. H.E.A.R.T. technology measures the position of the stick without any mechanical contact or friction, thereby eliminating this problem. The gamepad maintains its original precision over a long period of time, thus ensuring a consistent and reliable gaming experience, and giving you the best possible control even after hundreds of hours of play.

With H.E.A.R.T., your sticks capture every movement with surgical precision, within 0.01 degree. You enjoy optimal responsiveness that faithfully reproduces each of your actions. It's a real game changer, especially for games where precision is essential. You have total control and unerring precision in your movements, even in the most intense situations.

ESWAP - THE ERA OF HALL EFFECT MODULARITY
With ESWAP gamepads' Hot-Swap technology, you can easily switch between symmetrical and asymmetrical configurations to match your gaming style. Now, you can enhance your experience with the new ESWAP SH5 Hall Effect Module, featuring H.E.A.R.T. technology, without needing to buy a new gamepad. These modules, compatible with the entire ESWAP range, significantly improve your gameplay by offering greater and more durable stick precision. Say goodbye to drift issues - with H.E.A.R.T., your modules and gamepads will last longer.

HEART CONTROLLER: PULSE BEYOND TIME
Thrustmaster's new HEART CONTROLLER gamepad brings together all the know-how of the brand in the design of high-performance gamepads, which accounts for the success of the ESWAP models. This gamepad is more affordable and, while it lacks features like trigger locks and modularity, it still delivers exceptional performance. It features H.E.A.R.T. technology for enhanced precision and durability, and its highly responsive mechanical buttons are 64% faster than traditional membrane-based buttons (laboratory tests).

You can also customize the central LED color with 6 options and fine-tune all internal settings via the ThrustmapperX software. Adjust stick sensitivity, trigger travel, and remap the two back buttons to adapt the controller to your preferences and gaming style.

For Xbox users, the THRUSTMAPPERX app is conveniently accessible directly from the console menu.

@GFreeman is it just the sticks that are hall effect, or do the triggers also have hall effect?

Reliability is what I want but rocket league is hard on sticks. I will see how well it goes but I want it to last more than 6 month-1 year before being unusable.
