Pros & Cons
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

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.
