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

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

      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.
