Stick drift shouldn’t be something you ever have to think about. That’s the idea behind Endurance Thumbsticks — our name for the durability-enhancing, anti-drift technologies designed to make your controller’s analog sticks last longer, feel smoother, and stay accurate over time.
Endurance Thumbsticks cover two advanced sensor types: Hall effect and TMR (Tunneling Magnetoresistance). Both use magnetic sensing instead of physical contact to track movement, eliminating the friction and wear that cause drift in traditional sticks. The result? A more consistent, longer-lasting gaming experience — whether you’re grinding competitive matches or playing casually.
Hall effect sensors measure thumbstick position using magnetic fields, so there’s no internal contact to wear down. That means excellent durability and reduced risk of drift and jitter over the lifespan of your controller.
Hall effect sticks have a quick, snappy feel that have slightly different response curves than traditional thumbsticks. Some players notice a short adjustment period as they get used to that frictionless movement, but the payoff is long-term consistency and control that never fades.

Best for: Gamers who play a wide variety of games and aren’t bothered with “micro adjustments”.
TMR (Tunneling Magnetoresistance) builds on the same magnetic principle as Hall effect but with an even higher level of sensing precision and responsiveness. It reads finer stick movements more accurately, making it ideal for competitive players chasing absolute control.
Unlike Hall effect, TMR maintains a familiar resistance and feel, so there’s virtually no adjustment period — just better performance and reliability.
Found in:
Best for: performance-driven players who want pinpoint accuracy without changing how their thumbsticks feel, along with enhanced longevity.
| Feature | Hall Effect | TMR |
| Durability | Excellent - no physical wear | Excellent - no physical wear |
| Accuracy | High | Even higher |
| Adjustment Period | Short learning curve | Minimal to none |
| Ideal For | Long-lasting smooth control | Precision and competitive accuracy |
Both Hall effect and TMR technologies represent the future of thumbstick design. Endurance Thumbsticks are built to keep your controller consistently — game after game, year after year.
