[John Crombie] had a crack at building one using linear Hall effect sensors and magnets as ... that each sensor will report an equal mid-range signal with zero mechanical displacement.

Quantum Hall is the quantum-level version of the Hall effect: a voltage produced as electrons flow through a magnetic field. In two-dimensional materials and at low temperatures the quantum ...

The joystick (left) and rudder pedals (right) magnet configurations with a hall effect sensor. A normal potentiometer was used in the throttle lever, and [Tom] also added a number of additional ...

It can also report these positions faster than Hall effect sensors, meaning controllers that harness this new technology will be futureproofed for polling rates well over 1,000Hz.
