YUNZII has introduced the MAD68 HE, a budget-friendly wired gaming keyboard featuring an 8,000 Hz polling rate and Hall Effect magnetic switches. Built for gamers on a tight budget, it does not lack premium-oriented features, such as a low latency of 0.125 ms and 0.02 mm actuation accuracy combined with Rapid Trigger technology. The Dynamic Keystroke (DKS) allows customization, enabling users to assign multiple functions per key press and adjust actuation points. For more advanced customization it relies on YUNZII's web-based software, which allows users to adjust Hall Effect settings, remap keys, configure macros, and personalize the south-facing RGB lighting effects.

The YUNZII MAD68 HE came in a 65% compact layout measuring 320 x 116 x 37 mm with the inclusion of directional keys being a nice touch.

SK keyfoundry Launches 3D Hall-effect Sensor Technology Capable of Measuring Speed and Direction

SK keyfoundry, an 8-inch pure-play foundry in Korea, announced today that it offers a new 3D Hall-effect sensor technology that can measure speed and direction through three-dimensional magnetic field detection for its foundry customers.

The Hall-effect sensor is a device that measures the strength of a magnetic field using the Hall-effect, which detects the voltage difference generated when a conductor or semiconductor passes through a magnetic field. The measured magnetic field is utilized in applications that leverage the position, speed, rotation, direction, and current of devices.

GuliKit "Reloads" KingKong 2 Controller Series with TMR Stick Model

Game controller brands are engaged in a race to update their devices with the latest internal technologies—recent market entries have sported "cutting-edge" TMR analogue joysticks, and more are seemingly in the development pipeline. GuliKit has listed a new "Reloaded" KingKong 2 (KK2) offering that features TMR electromagnetic modules; its model name is (simply) abbreviated to "KK2T." On inspection, the upgraded variant is a visual match for the original black KK2 Pro multi-platform controller (2022). In comparison, the lower-end KK2 model does not sport fancy silver accents. The two mature models utilize Hall Effect sticks—this is another electromagnetic standard; now considered "old hat" by hardcore gaming controller enthusiasts.

TMR and Hall Effect modules are often advertised as "problem free" solutions, when lined up against traditional ALPS encoders. The even older standard has tendency to develop "stick drift"—most notably, the bane of Nintendo Switch Joy-Con owners. The likes of GameSir, 8BitDo, and GuliKit claim that their various modern gamepads are provisioned with "anti-stick drift" and "anti-drift performance" tech. Discerning audience members reckon that Hall Effect modules are not completely immune to developing faults; hence the emergence of TMR alternatives. Curiously, GuliKit's KingKong 3 (KK3) controller series has also received the TMR upgrade treatment. The basic model features "1000-level high precision" sticks, while fancier KK3 PRO and MAX packages make do with Hall Effect units.

8BitDo Launches Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller, Equipped with TMR Joysticks

8BitDo has released another variant of its popular Ultimate Wireless Controller; this time in "No. 2" sequel form. At first glance, this modernized variant looks very familiar. There are major changes—external and internal—present on this new iteration; according to 8BitDo's product page. The company has upgraded their flagship model with Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) joysticks; hardcore controller enthusiasts have deemed this emerging standard as the "superior" choice. Manufacturers and supporters have claimed that TMR sticks are "more precise" and less power hungry, when compared to Hall Effect equivalents. 8BitDo is catching up with its main competition; GameSir and GuliKit are notable rivals—with several TMR-based models already available at retail.

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller ($59.99) borrows several modern features from a budget-friendly sibling: the Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller ($29.99). Customizable extra shoulder bumpers/buttons (R4 and L4) are welcome additions, as well as updated wireless (2.4 GHz) and wired connections with a maximum 1000 Hz polling rate. Early adopters reckon that the latest model sports 8BitDo's much-improved D-pad design. Rear toggles are advertised as offering: "easy switching between linear Hall Effect triggers and non-linear tactile triggers for optimal control across different gaming scenarios." The Ultimate 2 and Ultimate 2C models are compatible with PC and Android platforms, but the more expensive option is decked out with rear paddles, RGB Fire Ring lighting effects, and is supplied with a slick-looking magnetic charging dock. Insiders believe that 8BitDo will be releasing Nintendo Switch and Xbox-oriented versions in the near future.

Nintendo Switch Leak Tips LCD, Hall Effect Joysticks

With the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 all but a given, much has been said about the new handheld gaming console in leaks and rumors. Now, a new set of supposed leaks from Decky Wizard on X have caused a bit of consternation among the Switch community, given the seemingly random mix of upgrades and perceived downgrades coming to the next-gen Switch. Minor details include larger buttons, a redesigned dock, and three colorways at launch, however, details around the new display and controls are more significant. For starters, the leaks suggest that the Switch 2 will have larger buttons and Hall-effect joysticks, both of which would likely be a massive upgrade in the eyes of most gamers, however it also seems as though the Switch 2 will use an LCD, as opposed to an OLED display, for the base model.

It seems as though most Switch fans were expecting an OLED panel right out the gate, given the Nintendo Switch OLED has been available for quite some time, now. Hall-effect joysticks will also likely solve one of the community's biggest complaints about the Switch controls—that being stick drift—but Nintendo would have to also provide a calibration tool in the Switch software to correct for wear and tear on the joysticks. Larger buttons may also be a welcome change for most Switch gamers, since cramped controls are a fairly common criticism of the original Switch. In addition to the news of the physical and technical specifications, Decky Wizard also claims that the Switch 2 will be lighter than the Steam Deck and be launched as soon as January 2025. In a subsequent post, Decky Wizard uploaded leaked images of the new Switch 2, showing off not only a fresh looking chassis with smaller screen bezels and a new built-in kickstand design, but also the design of the new first-party dock and two new, larger Joycon release buttons on the backs of each Joycon.
