Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

They also appear to be authentic gulikit replacements with the correct branding. Good sticks that feel very nice, a tad smoother than oem sticks too. Still better than dishing out $80 on overpriced joycons.

Not a deal-breaker, but something to be aware of. It's a bit distracting but not something that's gonna drive you nuts.

Magnetic tipped screwdrivers made swapping the components fairly easy. Brings extra screws and the tools for the job.

It’s legit, and if your joycons are drifting, worth your money. There's no doubt that they definitely *won't* be drifting due to dust created from contact wear. There are a few small downsides to these.



Cons

My and others' suspicion is that the spring is misaligned somehow and clipping on something. Be mindful that there’s a significant likelihood of receiving defective units. This phenomenon indicates a defect in the stick module in which one of the magn...  Read More

Quality


They also appear to be authentic gulikit replacements with the correct branding.


This product does come with the necessary tools to do everything you need to.


I don't think i could have performed the replacement with the included tweezers only.


I'm thinking it has to do with the tech.

Packaging/appearance


Much quieter then the original joysticks in the joycons.


I tried the other 3 i ordered on the joycon that wouldn't work, and none of them would calibrate.


Make sure to recalibrate the sticks in the switch settings after you have the joycon put back together.

Competitiveness


The kit came with everything needed to replace the sticks in a joycon, including tools, replacement screws, but no instructions...  Read More


Worth noting these have stiffer movement than the official joycon stick.


I have a bag of the normal joycon replacement sticks i'm seriously just throwing away, those should be advertised as may include drift.


I put these in my newer white joycons (they haven’t started drifting yet), but now as far as i know they never will.

    It does not come with instructions on how to do the removal or installation of the joysticks the instructional video on youtube they created is visual only instructions no verbal

    Fair warning the left joycon is slightly more difficult than the right


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You can watch the calibration screen go crazy when you wave a magnet in front of them


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However i dont know if it is because i tried on a release day set of joycons there have been a couple revisions over the years but when i clamped the battery holder in place the sticks became unresponsive


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had to reposition the right joycon cable twice and the left one took about 7 tries before i gave up and cut a small chunk of plastic out of the battery tray to make it work


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Maybe i received a bad batch but i tried all four sticks from my order to have the same results
