Hall effect sensors are just one type of modern magnetometer. There are many different kinds including those that use inductive pickup coils that may or may not rotate or a fluxgate, which is a ...

More and more keyboards and video game controllers employ Hall effect sensors, but what exactly is this technology? We break it down.

Hall effect sensors are slowly taking over the world of gaming peripherals, but what are they and do they actually make a difference?

Even with Hall Effect sensors, I found that sometimes small movements would not be picked up by the controller —sometimes to catastrophic in-game results.

The Hall-Effect sensor has a core, Hall-Effect device and signal conditioning circuitry. The current conductor passes through a magnetically permeable core that concentrates the conductor’s magnetic ...

Using the Hall effect for current measurement is inherently robust, but it can be an even more versatile tool when it comes to position sensing.

Researchers have invented Hall effect magnetic field sensors that are operable at high temperatures and harmful radiation conditions. The sensors will find applications in space craft and nuclear ...

Hall-effect sensors can also be susceptible to magnetic interference, Mokhtari added, if they’re not properly shielded from magnets — which, by the way, Switch 2 Joy-Cons apparently use.
