According to Gamestop's website, these controllers are hall effect, BUT nowhere on the box or on an signage in-store did it state it. Most people will have no clue if it's true or not. I had no clue, nor am I for certain either. Without tearing it down, I won't make the claim that they are without the product clearly stating it on the packaging.
The triggers are also hall effect. There are pics of this controller opened up, and have been verified as having those fancy joysticks, and the triggers use hall effect sensors too. Furthermore, GameStop was being forward thinking and green minded designing this controller; the battery is plugged into the board instead of soldered to it, meaning its user serviceable and makes less e-waste. Only two controllers on the market, at this price point, are using hall effect sticks currently. However, there is only ONE controller, using hall effect sensors at this price point, AND features factory hotswappable customization.
I really do love what they have done with this controller over all. I'm really happy with it and the one I got for my wife made her really happy too. She loved the color combo I chose for her.
Most people are saying it, but if you walk into the store and buy off the display, like I did, there's no way to tell. That's a big detractor not putting it on the box. People will pass up on it at the store because of that.
Yes!!! You are my savior with this review. Awesome job as always! Looks like so much fun to customize, I can't wait. So happy to hear the controller is actually quality- so much better than the joke of a controller you reviewed from them before. Going to place my order online now. Interestingly it does note online that the joysticks are hall effect! Very surprising they wouldn't list that on the box as a major selling point. You might want to look into that and verify? Too bad about the button placement on bottom, but it does make for a cleaner look with all the customization (and I wonder if in the future they will have other faceplate options with graphics around that middle section). Thanks again my dude, you are the unquestioned #1 game controller reviewer on TH-cam!
Glad I could help. 😁👍🏻 I honestly liked this controller a lot. I kinda want to get one to tear it down and see if it has hall effect sticks. Nowhere on the box did it say it and I didn't see it on the listing on Gamestop's website or on in-store signage. Maybe they will update it. If these truly are hall effect, this is a top tier controller for the price and features.
@@RedBandanaGaming On GameStop's website listing for the Wireless Base Controller it has a bullet point that says: "HALL EFFECT THUMB GRIPS as Standard: Hall effect joystick adopts magnetic induction principle, close to 0 wear and tear under normal use, effectively prolonging the life of the joystick. Drift resistant, 5 million service life. High smoothness paired with joystick algorithm." You might need to just find out for yourself, though. A tear down video would be so cool to see!
They have it in their product description now on their website. It actually uses the K-Silver JH16 hall effect modules which went on the market April 2023. A lot of ppl consider it to be the best hall effect module currently being sold
Around min 3:50, you mention the controller is not hall effect. These are advertised as being hall effect controllers on the gamestop website. I bought a few of these. I love them. I like the idea of customizing the controller.
I didn't see it on the box or in-store. If they truly are, that's a great selling point that people will clearly miss if not advertised properly on the box. Now I want to tear one down to see. 😄
@@RedBandanaGaming Someone already did that, can't post the direct link but if you search for: "For the "pics or it didn't happen" crew Internal pics of the Candy Con controller, showing the K-Silver hall-effect stick, hall-effect trigger switch, and socketed battery" - it's a Reddit post
Anyone who makes a positive video of the Candy Con, gets me to automatically hit the subscribe button. Moreover, it makes me go through your entire library of content and blanket every video with a 'thumb up' with reckless abandon.
I honestly respect the decision (or mistake lol) to not push the selling point as Hall-effect joysticks and triggers. It should be a standard at this point.
Thank you for this video! I've been interested in possibly picking up a new controller for my Switch. I'm also hoping for a future Candy Con Xbox model 🤞
If you're wondering, it is hall effect. They were not listed on the box or in-store. It's a big reason why I missed it, but the online listing has it as hall effect. I hope that helps too.
That was a Switch controller from Burlington. I thought about that too while I was filming. I didn't mention it because I didn't want to give anyone the wrong impression, because that things was jank!
Nowhere on the box or in store does it list it. People who walk in and buy it, most people, will have no clue if they're hall effect. That's a big gaff on the manufacturers part. Without taking it apart, I'm still not 100% it is. It's why I haven't changed anything. Gamestop's website has been known to put up wrong information before. I'll make a change to the description or pinned comment after I take it apart and find out for myself.
I stumbled upon then when i got a pre-order bonus for a face plate for epic mickey. I bought a separate blue and a grave digger face plate combo pack. I finally remembered to try it and so far it's the best dango controller eva. I hope this turns into the next 'wavebird' controller
They all have hall effect sticks. This is the original box that didn't list it. I was told by a gamestop employee that the company didn't originally list it on the boxes or marketing due to not knowing it was that important to the consumer base.
I may end up getting this because I ended up getting a free face plate for the controller because I pre-ordered Epic Mickey for the switch... So I'd like to get the base controller a couple of joypads and Sticks and at least another face plates so that I'm not necessarily playing with that 1 all the time
When I got this controller it worked perfectly but for some reason at a certain time of use it has the feeling to move one detection and no other ways, and I can tell it’s not drift. If anyone has a way to fix my problem please do tell me
Yes, I could've, but shipping was more expensive than gas. It only cost me a gallon of gas round trip. Plus, I ran a few errands while I was out. So no wasted time or money.

Love the shape of the controller and the variety of faceplates.
As do I. 👍🏻
I own one of the pre built ones and an extra faceplate. It’s a very nice controller and they are indeed Hall effect
I wish they listed it on the box. It's going to confuse many people who buy it in-store, like me. 😅
@@RedBandanaGamingwhat is Hall effect
@@Hitman_chiraqhall effect is a magnetic stickbox.
Traditional sticks use potentiometers and friction which degrade the stick.

I agree with that. All controllers should be hall effect at this point and if they aren't, they should state it.
Awesome controller that I never heard about looks like a Xbox controller but for the switch i like the custom controller more companies are doing it
I love my XBOX Series controller...Pro Controller is great but this looks even better.
Thank you for this video! I've been interested in possibly picking up a new controller for my Switch. I'm also hoping for a future Candy Con Xbox model 🤞

Just purchased one of these and am extremely happy with it so far
Great to hear!
i love all these new stuff Gamestop is selling. Definitely gonna have to buy these controllers!
I like that they are stepping up their game. I just hope it's not too little too late.
@@RedBandanaGaming research the financials mate, no need for hope

This reminds me of the 5 below controller you did, that just had different shells, I think it was for the PS5.
That was a Switch controller from Burlington. I thought about that too while I was filming. I didn't mention it because I didn't want to give anyone the wrong impression, because that things was jank!
Gamestop now has game theme ones now like tmnt, transformers, epic mickey, monster jam.
I love candy-con. And they are coming out with new faceplates
Be nice for an edit stating these are Hall effect sticks so you’re giving out the right info. Otherwise great review!

@@RedBandanaGaming I definitely agree with you about a missed opportunity stating it on the box. They are for sure Hall effect toggles though.

Where the plus and minus (start and select button) and interesting to see a customized controller
On the bottom. I point out out in the video.
I wish they did something with the buttons because for me, the buttons and the d-pad have to match. Lol
I can definitely see what you're saying there. Now I can't unsee that. Lol
@@RedBandanaGaming Just use a black d-pad with your color combo and you're golden. Lol
Oh. They make a hall effect stick one. Maybe yours doesn't have it. The back of your box is different than the one we have
They all have hall effect sticks. This is the original box that didn't list it. I was told by a gamestop employee that the company didn't originally list it on the boxes or marketing due to not knowing it was that important to the consumer base.
@@RedBandanaGaming word
question, does the controller have bonafide analog triggers and if so would they allow proper throttle control when driving in-game?
If so that would be a definite must buy! I'm already interested just because of the XBOX Series style Dpad and customization.
For some reason whenever I'm playing on my steam deck I press the back buttons on the candy con and it freaks out
Mine has very bad input lag and random disconnects. I exchanged it , but I am having the same exact problem.
Some of these look really cool. And perfect for the switch.
I got a few new faceplates recently including two Ninja Turtles and a Gravedigger one.
I may end up getting this because I ended up getting a free face plate for the controller because I pre-ordered Epic Mickey for the switch... So I'd like to get the base controller a couple of joypads and Sticks and at least another face plates so that I'm not necessarily playing with that 1 all the time

i'm having trouble figuring out how to tell if the controller is fully charged or not?
i also wish we got an option for A/B/X/Y customizability
Bruh, I have this controller and didn't realize until watching this video that it was Hall effect. Now I don't feel stupid for spending $50 on it lol
The new boxes finally show that it does. But don't feel bad, a lot of people didn't know it either.
Is it compatible with phones?
how's this holding up a month later?
Still doing well. I ended up buying a second for my wife and she loves it too.
thas a littel gift from me i hope you injoye yours to hav a nices day
I have to ask, you drove 13 miles for it, but couldn't you order it online?
Yes, I could've, but shipping was more expensive than gas. It only cost me a gallon of gas round trip. Plus, I ran a few errands while I was out. So no wasted time or money.
If it can connect to a switch then should it be able to connect to an ipad
No
