Hi, i would like to know if there's differences between the hall effect joystick from I'Robot and Escape from the planet of Robot Monsters. The two joysticks have different hall effect board and i have the impression the mechanism is different. Someone kwon more about those differences ? Thanks !!

I have been told that the EFTPOTRM hall effect PCB is better. Don't know how or why though.
 
There are 3 different Hall Effect sticks.

The IR stick bats can spin, the others cannot. IR sticks also don't have the screw to prevent the hall effect sensor from bending back and losing sensitivity. Road Runner and Escape have the screw, and adjustment pots.

The main difference is the PCB, and they're all interchangeable physically and electrically.

I usually ended up putting one of the later sticks in all the IRs I've owned.
