AKNES Gulikit Hall Effect Joysticks for Steam Deck OLED, Left/Right Thumbstick Replacement with Original Touch Sensing for Steam Deck OLED - Electromagnetic Joystick with Caps, No Soldering

So glad i bought these analog sticks for the OLED steam deck, they feel noticeably better than the stock sticks, ..they feel stronger & slightly firmer and they sit just a bit lower which feels right to me (i felt the stock sticks were just a bit too tall/high). They have a strong premium quality feel to them, ..very happy with them and fitting them was easy

I bought a set for my original LED steam deck and when I upgraded to an OLED this was the first modification I made. Work great and feel really responsive. Very pleased.

One quick YouTube tutorial and I had the back plate off the deck and these stick units installed. It’s a simple process, even if you’re not well versed in device disassembly.However, tapping the incredibly small button on the board of the analog stick unit (inside the deck) while gauging the calibration onscreen was quite tricky and fiddly. The button only registering now and then made things difficult and it’s such a small thing to press on the circuit board that you really have to take your time.Once calibrated though the sticks performed really well and act as a great alternative to the standard ones. The elimination of drift and the zero dead zone make these above and beyond the stock sticks. Just be sure to breathe deeply while fitting and calibrating them and you’ll be fine…

Upgrading the joysticks to the Gulikit one is really simple and with the new calibration through the konsole. It's become way easier. I would easily recommend that way instead of manually clicking the button on the back while adjusting it.

Product amazing however postage was not. Please not use dpd they deleievred to some random warehouse

Works perfectly

A bit better than original. That's it. Did calibration in desktop mode afterwards.

With my current joysticks starting to show their age on my steam deck I jumped at the opportunity to review these superior hall effect joysticks. The build quality is just as good as the original factory ones, the lack of soldering is awesome (I’m pretty bad at it) though it was a little challenging to open my steam deck but thanks to the guides from valve and I fixit I made it through properly. Once installed and I reassembled my deck I calibrated the joysticks and they are brilliant virtually no friction and it’s nice knowing I’ll never have to worry about stick drift.
