AKNES Gulikit Hall Sensing Joystick Replacement for JoyCon, Right and Left Joy Con Controller Replacement Thumb Stick Accessories Repair Kit for Switch OLED/Switch/Switch Lite, No Drift (1 Pair)

Swapped out my joysticks on my joy-cons with these, took me about an hour and a half to do both controllers with a YouTube video as a guide, but the left one was a lot harder than the right one, due to a fiddly ribbon cable that I had to re-insert (nothing to do with the new part, but just the joy-con design)can't say much about the so called 'better battery life' from the new sticks, but they feel good and don't drift, so can't complain! handy that the kit comes with everything you need to replace, so if I need to replace more, I can just get the required parts and save money down the road

These are a pretty much perfect solution to stick drift. Not too difficult to fit (fiddly though) you just need patience. Once you've done, just remember to calibrate and they work perfectly. It's just a shame joycons don't come with hall effect sticks as standard.

I work in IT, have done for many years and don't think much of pulling a laptop apart to repair where necessary. Honestly, this is rather a different kettle of fish....mainly because all the component parts are absolutely tiny and very delicate.I managed to replace both joycons, the sticks themselves are perfect and suffer no fault/issues like others have experienced, but I did during the process of replacing the first stick (in the left hand controller) break off one of the ribbon connector retaining tabs. I resorted out of desperation two part gluing the ribbon into place but now the SL and SR buttons no longer work. It doesn't really help that the supplied tools and accessories aren't that wonderful (the tweezers are next to useless and the screwdrivers are just head strippers) but I think given another go I'd be able to do it OK without any such issue.TBH not overly bothered as this was done primarily to fix stick drift that was annoying my 12 year old son hugely when playing Fortnite, so the loss of those buttons isn't an issue....but there won't be any two player Mario Kart for a while!In summary certainly a cheaper and effective way of fixing joycons experiencing stick drift for someone with form with electronics repairs, but just be warned if you aren't at all experienced at this sort of thing, I probably would advise not bothering and just sending them off for repair or buying replacements.

I bought this to fix the dreaded joycon drift. I was a bit worried that it would be difficult to install and, while it is a bit fiddly, there are plenty of YouTube videos to help. By the time I was fitting the fourth one, it was really pretty simple. The ribbons are slightly longer than the stock ones, so that leaves a bit of slack. At first I worried that the end of the ribbon wasn't properly seated in the connector, but it was fine. My only slight gripe was that the supplied tweezers weren't very good. They end in a sharp point, making it difficult to get purchase on the ribbons. I have an iFixit kit, so I used the tweezers from that instead. I would still have preferred a better set of plastic-tip tweezers.As it turned out, one of the sticks was faulty on arrival. Although it registered movement, it was off-centre and the calibration in the Switch menu couldn't be completed for some reason. It wasn't obvious that the stick itself was faulty, since it's to be expected that it will be initially off-centre, and the unresponsive calibration screen felt more like a software issue. However, after posting a question to Reddit, I got a reply from an AKNES representative who arranged for a replacement kit to be sent out to me free of charge. This new kit arrived within a couple of days and it worked perfectly right out of the box.I'm very happy with the new control sticks. They feel great and shouldn't suffer from drift over time. I'm especially happy with the excellent customer service I received. Thanks Jim!

One of the sticks has developed a click and feels really grainy when using it.The stick is still functional but feels horrible to use. Have reinstalled the stock sticks.Unless you have an issue with drift on your current sticks I wouldn't bother with these

Easy to fit good instructions available online. Fixed my stick issue.

I originally bought a pair of these for one of my R36S handhelds (as multiple YouTube reviews said it was a worthy upgrade). While screwing down the first joystick one of the mounting lug split and broke off. This surprised me because the screw head was barely in contact with the lug and hadn't even pulled it fully against the mounting post at that point. I left it fitted with only one lug and installing the second went without a hitch.Eventually, the second lug broke off through use, so I decided to get another set for that handheld, and a second pair for another R36S I have. I swapped all 4 in the two units and was careful to not tighten the screws anywhere near the point where I could call them "Snugged down" like I'd usually do in cheap plastic. They seemed OK at first, but after about a week one of the sticks started to not centre properly, which means that in side scrollers my character was always wandering off in some random direction whenever I let go off the sticks, and in FPS games it made it tricky to walk in a straight line.Luckily, I still had a spare good stick from the first set, and fitting that has (For now) fixed this drifting issue.The real kicker though is that I personally can feel ZERO difference between these hall effect sticks and the originally fitted budget analogue sticks ! So if I have anymore problems with these I'm just going to refit the originals.They don't feel to be worth anything like the price in my mind, and I'd probably have given the product 1 star, but as I'm not using them in one of the devices they're sold for (Though the R36S is made to specifically use JoyCon compatable sticks), I've decided I need to give this product the benefit of the doubt and not be hyper critical that I had issues that may not have shown up if these were being fitted into the device they were made for.

Great product. Does the job well.

Gli stick si presentano un po' diversi da quelli orginali come sensazione, ma trovo questa (corsa piu lunga con un po piu' di resistenza) piu piacevole e precira rispetto a quelli standard.Arrivata in un giorno con kit di montaggio utilissimo. Consigliatissimi!

Top, installation simple et fonctionnel.Marche directement après calibrage.

Geïnstalleerd en alles werkte perfect. Hopelijk eeuwig verlost van drift.

Update: So they are real, just the branding was moved from the top to the side.Original: Im not sure if these are genuine Gulikit, they are missing the branding on the joycon. I had Gulikit joycon sticks already and they were branded. But these new ones are not. The bottom part doesnt look like the old ones as well. We will see how well/how long they work.Replaced because the old ones were drifting for some reason.
