    With the magnetic attachment to the main console, having hall effect joysticks would be basically impossible

      It depends on where the magnets are located, but I agree it’s an engineering consideration.

      Also, using magnets instead of rails does mean that if you drop your switch, the joycons will go flying.

      Wouldn’t it only cause an interference when adding or removing a joycon? ie, when the magnetic field change isn’t from the joystick.
