Pros & Cons
Pros
These are a great way to upgrade the steam deck's joysticks. Easy to open the deck and unsolder the capacitive sensor wires. Sticks are non-resistive so don't suffer from joycon drift.
Tension is great. Good product and definitely works well. Definitely recommend. New model works perfectly.

A sheet of paper explaining this with the packaging would be great, and would possibly negate all the negative reviews which co... Read More
