Hyperkin’s ‘Competitor’ controller eliminates stick drift and features impulse triggers

What you need to know

• Hyperkin announced a new competitive controller called Competitor.
• Hall effect sensors use magnets in their design to detect movement, meaning high precision gameplay without risk of deterioration from stick drift.
• The Competitor will feature these, as well as Hall effect impulse triggers.
• Hall effect triggers allow for more realistic and precise feedback.

The competitive controller market is fairly competitive for Xbox. Giants such as Thrustmaster, SCUF, Victrix, and Microsoft all have one or more controllers in the marketplace. Each features their own set of pros and cons that players will use in deciding which controller to purchase. 

These controllers have all generally shared an issue amongst themselves, stick drift. It wasn’t until GameSir launched a controller last month that Xbox had an officially licensed product that combated this issue. What is this sweet technology? Hall effect sticks.
