This is the best summary I could come up with:

Currently, standard controllers from companies like Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft still incorporate potentiometer joysticks that are prone to annoying stick drift over time as they wear down.

Third-party accessory makers have started a trend to include Hall effect technology in their controllers, hoping to offer better longevity.

The Cyclone’s joysticks aren’t the only part of it that includes Hall effect tech — GameSir is also using it in the analog triggers, which the company says provides “0.1mm of accuracy” for precise responsiveness like acceleration in a car and can switch to a fast trigger mode for better FPS responsiveness.

The controller has “tri-mode” connectivity, which means it works with Bluetooth devices, wired through its USB-C port, and 2.4 GHz wireless with the help of a dongle (sold separately).

Although the Pro doesn’t work with Xbox, GameSir did release a wired pad earlier this year that does.

But if you’d rather not hold your breath waiting on the major console makers to include Hall effect in their controllers, there are a whole lot of cool DIY options out there now where you can just upgrade the sticks before (or after) they get all drifty.
