The TMR thumbsticks in the ES Max don’t feature a complete reimagining of the technology but measure stick movement in a slightly different way that improves performance. The traditional TMR tech uses a sensor to measure changes in the distance between it and a magnet that moves closer and farther away in response to stick movements.

Instead of measuring changes in the strength of the magnetic field, the new TMR tech uses its sensor to measure the rotational angle of a nearby magnet as it moves along with the stick. With this new approach, the strength of the magnetic field never decreases, resulting in more accurate measurements and…
