my experience says “probably not” but it looks like it’d be enjoyable for when you’re out and about. the price is low too.

Article mentions it uses hall effect thumbsticks. Does anyone know a reachable manufacturer for those?

I’m considering eventually producing hardware using them as a small-ish scale commercial endeavor, but so far the most i’ve been able to find are distributors on alibaba reselling them for $1 each as solder-in replacements for playstation/xbox/switch pro controller thumbstick modules, without information on their patent status - and that looks a tad strange considering gulitech seems to have patents in china covering them and doesn’t sell those specific modules despite using a marginally-similar-looking version in their own controllers (only making available joycon thumbstick replacements at a significantly higher price). As of now, without further assurance, these would be too risky to use.

I assume all MediaTek SoCs are crummy. Not sure if that’s changed in recent years, though.
