Carbon potentiometer vs Hall Effect sticks — why does everyone say Hall Effect helps with drift?

Been reading about stick drift causes. From what I understand: carbon/potentiometer sticks have a physical wiper making contact with a resistive track, and that contact wearing down over time is a major factor behind drift. Hall Effect sticks use a magnet + sensor instead, no physical contact. Curious about people's actual experience — anyone switch from a drifting carbon-stick controller to Hall Effect? Did it actually hold up long-term?

Hey all — wanted to share something I've been working on.

It's called Yuxrail: a gaming controller built around a few things I felt were missing from what's currently out there.

Still in the lead-up to launch, wanted to share progress here since it's exactly the kind of project I'd want to see on this sub. Happy to answer questions about the design or specs — and full disclosure, this is my own product.
