I think the main advancement and attraction of the TMR technology over Hall Effect is the better battery power usage. I wasn’t aware that it is even more sensitive to movements and changes than Hall Effect, according to the linked article. But don’t know how much the differences in battery usage and sensitivity are.
Due to the placement its not even remotely comparable, their trackpad is useless for precise aiming or really anything since its that out of the way. At this point it only exists for the few ps4 games that used it.
I own a dualsense. I’ve always loved its trackpad for mouse cursor control in games that are less controller friendly on PC, but ever since the steam deck and it’s split trackpads, I’ll never look back. The split pads are such a superior option, especially with the way they work with the steam deck’s on screen keyboard, or for aiming in FPS games.
More expensive than the base-level Xbox/PS controller, but cheaper than their pro-version - as well as the Joy-Con 2s.
I’m down for it, nobody else is doing trackpad controllers after all.
IMO it should be compared to the pro controllers, since it has back buttons and Hall effect sticks
Not “Hall Effect.” “TMR” specifically - it’s an even more advanced version of the magnetic field measurement used for Hall Effect but distinct.
Uses less battery power, too.

Not with two of them, but the Dualsense does have a trackpad.

I find that trackpad icky. I hate how PlayStation users have been forced to mash the mushy button that it is for the past 10 years.
It’s never lived up to the potential.
