...especially as it uses expensive Hall sensors and no potentiometers as many of the others use.
The myth that HALL sensor are expensive is due replacement ones sold for HOTAS Cougar, borrowed from automotive industry.

Actually HALL sensors is cheap than good potentiometers.

Type of sensor used in Saitek X-52 cost around 2.00U$ each (X and Y axis).
Type of sensor use in Thrustmaster T.16000M cost around 3.00U$.
Probably are triaxial Melexis sensors, and probably the same is used in G940.

Potentiometers (CTS?) used in CH sticks are sold, as spare part at 9,95 U$.

Some purists will say that good pots are as good (or better?) as Hall sensor, but fortunately to us, the joystick manufactures are using XXI century technology, since no one manufacturer in China will use 9,95 U$ pots... Fact!

Some guys stay one steep ahead in sensors use, they are using MaRS (magnetoresistor):
