Frequently asked questions / FAQ

Hall Effect Sticks are analog sticks with a new technology: They use the Hall effect, in which a magnetic field is generated in the stick and the position of the stick is recorded magnetically via changes in the magnetic field.
In contrast to conventional analog sticks, where the position is recorded via a potentiometer, which wears off over time, the Hall Effect Sticks are wear-free.

This prevents the annoying stick drift that occurs over time with conventional sticks and drives gamers crazy.

This multiplies the lifespan of the controller, which is why they are definitely worth the price.

However, reverb effect sticks also have small disadvantages. You can find out more about this in our blog article .

If your character moves minimally in game with a reverb effect controller even though you don't move the sticks, this is probably not classic stick drift caused by wear and tear. This is probably because the stick deviates slightly from the ideal zero position in the middle position.

The neutral center position must be calibrated by hand when installing the Hall Effect Sticks.
With the Hall effect sticks, a magnetic field is generated and the position of the stick is determined by the change in the magnetic field. Therefore, it is not technically possible to calibrate the sticks 100% to the correct center position and there will always be a minimal deviation from the ideal zero position.

Most games have a minimum stick dead zone of 10% programmed. This means that the first 10% movement of the stick will not be registered as input in the game.
In some games, e.g. Modern Warfare 3 (2023), it is possible to reduce the minimum dead zones to 0%.

If you reduce this setting to 0% or below 5%, minimum dead zone, the reverb effect sticks can cause minimal movement in the game without touching the sticks. However, this should not interfere with gaming or have a negative impact on your performance.

We still recommend not setting the minimum dead zones below 5% .

In this helpful video you will learn how to test and adjust your dead zones in the game Modern Warfare III (2023):

If your sticks deviate more than 10% from the center position, there is probably a calibration error.
In this case, please contact our customer service . We will fix the problem for you immediately.
