AKNES GuliKit Electromagnetic Joysticks for Steam Deck LCD (Type A and Type B), Left/Right Hall Effect Sensor Joysticks (No Drift) Replacement Accessories for Steam Deck - No Soldering Needed

Great upgrade and easy process to fit into SteamDeckI would say this is 100% worth the upgrade.Just make sure you recalibrate your dead zones after install!

The media could not be loaded. Ordered these as my right stick had just started to get some drift. Really quick and easy install, open the case, remove a ribbon cable and a few screws per stick and the install in reverse order. These fit the housing like for like! Check whether you have the type A or type B sticks before the install so you know where to flick the tiny switch on the gulikit board. I found that the recalibration was much better by going to desktop mode and using the konsole command thumbstick_cal and following the on screen instructions.As you can see from the video, the quality and the type of the sticks mean that the steam deck stick dead ones can be reduced WAY down as the sticks are really well calibrated and the calibrations test shows them not moving at all from the centre of the zone. They're now really responsive and feel very well built and snappy. I'd probably not have sprung for these just as a regular upgrade, but if you have a stick giving you some drift then why replace them with OEM like for like sticks when these much higher quality ones can be dropped in for a similar price, and 10 minutes work.

Really easy to fit and no soldering necessary on the new versions is fantastic.Only issue I had was my own mistake, mine were set up out of the box with one for an A model (mine) and the other was set to B model. Once I'd re-assembled it and calibrated the new sticks, touch wasn't working on one of them. I quickly disassembled it and noticed that the non-working was set to work on a revision B model Deck.Once I'd flipped the switch and re-assembled it, it worked perfeclty.My deadzones on the new sticks are far lower than the stock ones and both of them are working great.Defintely worth considering if you want tighter deadzones on your Deck.

The kit is fine - feels very similar if not identical to the originals. I like them, but it was a vanity purchase for me. I wanted the best for my steamdeck.BUT - my gripe is the instructions do not warn you - you must remove your SD card BEFORE you take the cover off the steamdeck. If you dont, your card will snap in half (see picture), and the broken card will be VERY hard to remove from the socket.Its my fault I forgot. Its not my first rodeo. But heck - it should be in the instructions. In bold letters. Mine was a 1TB card. £100 down the toilet. Very unhappy.And given there is no discernible difference between these and the originals (when new) - this turned out to be a very expensive purchase.

Simple instructions, very easy to do. Only issue found was left stick has some play.All in all, great product and good investment 👍

Excellent customer service had a problem sorting the calibration out tuned out took a few days to cut to the problem but them always got back with a day after trying a few things tured out had faulty are damaged one they sent a new set out that came better protected than amazon did as box was damaged from amazon delivery worked with little effort new ones would recommend to anyone they feel fantastic the responses in stics now is brilliant and sets dead center had to set one my self didn't take to long but other one was perfect straight out the box they feel just as good if not better than original sd sticks very happy with hem

eliminate dreaded stick drift with these really easy to install and easy to calibrate. these feel better than the stock sticks. well worth the money.

These Gulikit hall effect joysticks are very straightforward to install and overall the feel of them is fantastic.The joysticks take a few minutes to get installed and setup, instructions are available online, a great place is iFixit or any of the YouTube videos, remove 8 screws on the back panel, remove the screws for each joystick and the ribbon cable, reassemble in reverse and run through the calibration and you have perfect, drift free joysticks that should hopefully never need replacing.Just to note, there are multiple warnings to make sure you remove the micro SD card, definitely not something to overlook.Overall a great purchase.
