TMR Sticks have killed stick drift.

TMR Sticks have killed stick drift.

Let Me Be Real With You


I’ve been in this industry for over a decade, and I’ve probably touched more controllers than most people have had hot dinners. I’ve seen it all — busted sticks, mushy inputs, deadzones that feel like you’re steering a tank, and of course, the infamous stick drift.


I got tired of it. So, we did something about it.


Introducing TMR Thumbsticks — and I’m telling you now, this is the biggest leap in controller precision we’ve ever made at Cinch Gaming.

 


 

 

What the Hell is TMR?

 


TMR stands for Tunnel MagnetoResistance. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it’s real-deal tech. It’s used in aerospace systems, advanced automotive sensors, even MRI machines.


And now? It’s in your controller.


Unlike traditional potentiometers (which rely on physical contact to register movement), TMR sticks use magnetic fieldsto detect motion. No friction. No wear. And most importantly — no drift.

 


 

 

Why It Matters — The Science in Real Talk

 


We didn’t just slap magnets in a stick shell and call it next-gen. We put these things through the wringer. Here’s what the data says:

 

  • Precision Accuracy

    In side-by-side latency and responsiveness tests, TMR sticks showed a 28.4% improvement in aim stability and tracking accuracy — especially at high sensitivities. That’s not marketing fluff — we measured it using real input tracking software.

  • Durability

    Standard analog sticks start to degrade around 500,000 input cycles. TMR sensors?  5 million activations without measurable performance loss.

  • Deadzone Elimination

    Thanks to how TMR reads magnetic shifts, input resolution is tighter. We saw 15–20% smaller deadzones compared to factory-calibrated analog units.

  • Smooth Diagonal Response

    Traditional sticks struggle with jitter and signal distortion during diagonal movement. TMR tech gave us a 35% cleaner vector path, meaning fewer inconsistencies and sharper response under pressure.

 

 


 

 

How This Translates in

Call of Duty

 


Picture this: You’re holding an angle on TV Station own the middle of Verdansk. You hear a footstep, flick right, and drop the guy before he even ADS’d. Here’s what TMR does in that exact moment:

 

  • Your flick is snappier, because you’re not pushing against worn-out plastic.

  • Your recoil control is more linear, meaning your muscle memory actually pays off.

  • You’re not fighting your controller’s deadzones  mid-gunfight.

 

 


 

 

Why This Actually Matters

 


I got tired of watching gamers — competitive and casual — drop $200+ on a “pro” controller only for the thumbsticks to ghost off to the side like they’re possessed a year later.


That’s not acceptable. Not if you care about performance. Not if you care about your money. Not if you give a damn about your gear holding up under pressure.


TMR is not a gimmick. It’s the fix.

 


 

 

Ready to Feel the Difference?

 


If you want the cleanest stick feel of your life, longer play without issues, and a permanent end to stick drift — TMR is the answer.
