Just watched ben heck's show where they modded the right-hand controller of the switch to be placed where the thumb actually wants it to be. ( )
I was a bit shocked when heck revealed the stick is actually two carbon travel potentiometers.
This type of potentiometer will eventually be worn out, and are best used on an instrument panel where you dial something in and set it there for a period or a long while; such as a tuner, EE power supply unit, or synthesizer. But analog sticks see continous use during a session. Am i overly nervous to think this doesn't bothe well for long-term usage? Especially as the potentiometers are of nintendo's own design, rather than an easily replacable part...
Bonus question: What other console controllers are using carbon potentiometers? Paddles and arkanoid controllers aside
