In controllers, this means the triggers and joysticks are less likely to develop drift or wear out over time compared to standard potentiometer-based designs. It does not eliminate all failure modes, but it is generally considered more durable for heavy use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoes this controller work on Nintendo Switch?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
