What is a TMR stick? How is it different from analog hall effect?

The reason why AIM is unstable

It's not your manipulation

How you "read" the stick affects how it stops

Going too far with fine-tuning

Offset due to pursuit aim

If I lower the sensitivity, it doesn't work

The reason why AIM is unstable is
It's not your manipulation.

The way it stops will change depending on how the stick is "read."

it is,
It's not a matter of your operation.

When aim is unstable, many people suspect sensitivity or settings.

However, in reality, there are many cases where this is not the cause.

Title

When trying to fine-tune, it goes a little too far.

Aim chasing, slightly off

If you lower the sensitivity, the movement will feel slower.

Title

This discomfort occurs regardless of how good or bad the player is.

The cause lies in the "mechanism" of conventional analog sticks .

The limitations of conventional analog sticks

A typical analog stick uses a contact structure to read input.

It is a highly refined method that has been used for many years.

However, this structure has some unavoidable characteristics.

Input changes tend to be gradual

Small inclinations are detected all at once

The more you use it, the more your sensations will change.

the result,

"It goes a little too far when I want to stop it." "It's the same sensitivity as before, but it doesn't suit me anymore."

I sometimes feel this way.

This is not a malfunction.
This is a change that is inevitable given the existing structure.

Title

So, what has changed about the "Hall Effect," which is said to be resistant to drift and aging?

What has the Hall effect changed?

To address the issues with conventional analog sticks,

A new solution has emerged: the Hall effect method.

Hall effect characteristics

It is a contactless method that uses magnetism to read the movement of the stick.

Since there are no contact parts, wear and tear is unlikely to occur.
It is characterized by its excellent drift resistance.

No contact means less wear

Less change over time and more stable

Drift is less likely to occur

In this regard,

The Hall Effect is a major step forward from traditional analog sticks.

however,
Not all challenges have been resolved.

Issues remain in exchange for stability

While the Hall effect is highly stable,
There is still room for improvement in terms of input granularity.

Minute inputs are transmitted slightly louder

The car goes a little too far at the point where you want to stop.

I feel that subtlety is not enough

Therefore,

"The drift has decreased, but the way the AIM stops is still not quite right."

Some people feel this way.

Title

So, to change not only the stability but also the "way the AIM stops",

What do you need next?

The way AIM stops will change.

The Hall effect has greatly improved stability.

So, what was missing to make AIM "stop where you want it to stop"?

TMR has a different "reading method"

TMR (tunnel magnetoresistance)
This method allows for more precise reading of magnetic changes.

Instead of summarizing input changes as "big movements,"
It can be perceived as a subtle difference.

If the Hall effect is a "stabilizing" method,

TMR is a system that "stops where you want it to stop."

The feeling of aiming correctly is not determined by getting used to it, but by whether the input is being read accurately.

Stability and delicacy. Both at the same time.

TMR maintains the stability of the Hall effect while
This allows for more sensitive input.

Therefore,

"I don't like drifting,

I don't want to compromise on how AIM stops."

It is chosen by such players.

Even with fine adjustments, it's hard to go too far

Tracking AIM makes it difficult for your viewpoint to shake

It feels right without changing the sensitivity

Frequently Asked Questions

What was your stick technique like so far?

Conventional sticks mainly used a method of reading input through physical contacts.
Due to this structure, it is prone to wear over long periods of use, which can lead to drift and inconsistent response.

What is TMR?

TMR is a sensor technology that uses magnetic changes to read stick movement.
Because there is little physical contact, it responds accurately to even the slightest input, and the operating feel remains stable even after long-term use.

Why is TMR attracting attention?

TMR is faster, quieter, and consumes less power than Hall effect. It also has no contact parts, making it more resistant to drift and extremely durable. It's garnering attention as the ideal next-generation stick sensor for gamers.

What controllers can I use with the TMR stick?

Currently, MERKA.G can equip the following controllers with TMR sticks.

・DualSense (PS5 controller)

・DUALSHOCK 4 (PS4 controller)

Can I bring in my own original controller?

Yes, it is supported.

Please send us your original controller and we will customize it based on the customization you selected on the product page.
Install the TMR stick.

We will check the condition of the controller and contact you in advance only if it is difficult to perform the work.

Can you install a TMR stick on my custom controller?

Yes, it is possible. MERKA.G offers the following service to retrofit a TMR stick.
