Drift Issue Resolution
Customers who experienced drift issues with their Joycon controllers have reported positive results from using these replacement joysticks, which are designed to prevent drift and come with everything needed for installation. Some users noted a difference in tension between the OEM and replacement sticks, while others appreciated the Hall sensors that eliminate physical contact and wear. However, some users mentioned that the tops of the new sticks felt slick compared to the original ones. Overall, these joysticks are a recommended solution for those experiencing drift issues on their Joycon controllers.
Highlights
Quality
After installation and calibration all three sets of the analogue sticks i purchased work great and feel very good.
The oem stick are absolutely garbage, these are a great upgrade.
On the original sticks, that carbon wears down or gunks up over time, causing inconsistent readings, thus drift.
I only replaced the joy on thumb stick that was giving issues, and immediately (after a quick calibration) all joy on drift was gone.
Price
They’re a bit expensive, but worth every penny.
Definitely recommended for the price compared to replacement joycons.
It's much cheaper than buying new ones and the sticks feel really tight and responsive.
Packaging/appearance
Was damaged out of the box (i suspect a damaged return).
The bubble wrap didn't do its job, but the box did, i guess.
This was the gulikit box with tools.
Competitiveness
They send some in the package, but i didn't have much luck with them; my ifixit tools worked much better.

While the tools they came with and the reviews ive heard are all amazing one of mine only tracks vertically which is going to make for an annoying return because i will have to tear down my switch and swap the old joycons back in temporarily and then do the entire repair a third time when replacements come

The screwdrivers are fine especially if you don’t already have one with the triwing bit although the tweezers are virtually unusable
