Gulikit Hall Effect Sense Joystick Replacement for JoyCon (No Drift), Left/Right Joystick Thumb Sticks Repair Kit Accessories for Switch/Switch OLED/Switch Lite (NO Tools)

Pictured: what came with the kit, fixed joycons, original joystick next to replaced joystick.I had horrible drifting issues with my original joysticks where one would drift downward and another diagonally upward. A few months after I bought new joycons, the same issue happened so I was elated to finally get my hands on these after being so satisfied with the Gulikit KingKong2 Pro.I got the two pair repair kit and just replaced my joysticks. So far so good! They are very easy to install. I recommend using iFixit’s tutorials. Kit came with everything that was listed. The plastic tweezers were partially broken, but that wasn’t an issue for me, since I had my own. The spudger does not seem to be a very durable material, but it still did its job. After reading reviews of other having issues with the screwdrivers stripping the screws, I did get other screwdrivers just to be safe, but as it won’t be a proper product review without actually using them, here’s what I have to say about each product. Those marked with an asterisk (*) are parts of the kit I didn’t end up using.The kit:It came with silicone joystick covers, a double ended spudger, a dusting brush, a suction cup, a set of screws, plastic tweezers, and two screwdrivers, a plastic three-ended pick, a bit thicker than the spudger and of the same material, one tri-wing and another Phillips-style.Spudger: Two ended, one side about 10mm wide, the other side is slightly bent at an angle and about 6mm wide. Blue, four triangular indentations to serve as grips for each side. Wears down pretty easily, but made of more durable plastic than the tweezers.*Pick: Triangular, rounded corners, circular dent in the middle for grip. Made of same material as spudger.*Tweezers: Black, plastic, and came broken, feels like cheap material.*Suction cup: about 37mm in diameter.*Brush: Appears to be cheaply made, plastic bristles, but the bristles don’t fall off too easily. Light pulls also won’t loosen them, so pretty good.*Screws: Came with 17 smaller silver Phillips screws (~3mm) and 8 longer tri-wing screws (~7mm).Screwdrivers: Red and yellow, has a hard textured silicone grip. Non-driver end rotates freely. Slightly magnetic, but would like a little more pull so it’s easier to get screws out of the screw holes. Didn’t have issues with stripping. About 128mm (12.8cm) in length. White printed label to indicate shape and size of driver tip.※ [Note that the + screws on the joycons are ‘Japan industrial standard’ (JIS) which differ slightly from Phillips screws, which may be the cause of stripping issues for some users, though it doesn’t make too much of a difference]*joystick covers: came with the covers shown in the product image, not very grippy but the design comes textured.Joystick replacements:I got the set that comes with 4. None of mine came damaged, there were a few fingerprints on the silicone tips, and some indication that the plastic casing had pressed onto them, but they could be easily rubbed off.The joystick buttons have a deeper sound than the original ones that came with the switch and are a little louder, but I personally prefer it over the original.The texture is a little smoother than the original, which is a little more grippy, which may just come down to wear.Installation is pretty easy as long as you follow joycon disassembly/stick replacement guides. As I said in the intro, I recommend using the guides on iFixit, whether on the site or on the youtube channel (I could only find video guide for Left joycon. Right joycon guide is text and picture based and can be found on their website). I recommend taking the stick cap off when putting the stick in.Make sure you recalibrate after installation and follow the steps written in the amazon listing’s image descriptions since there will appear to be drift at first!!Only time will tell how these will do over the coming months, but I will see if I can remember to update this review later.As of writing this, I am very satisfied with the product.TLDR: Some of the repair kit comes with cheap plastic parts like tweezers (mine came broken), screwdrivers work fine, follow iFixit guides, joystick may feel/sound slightly different than original.Personal comment:One thing I do wish Gulikit would add are more texture variety to the stick caps. I personally love the grippy concentric circle design on the sticks for their KK2 Pro and would love that on these joycons.

Very good looking amazing results very softness easy to use love itQuality good

Decided to shell out for these instead of doing the free (but inconvenient) Nintendo repair AGAIN.Definitely worth the extra couple bucks to get the pro version which includes all the necessary tools (plus some I didn't even use).The swap was a little nerve racking if I'm being honest. Do not attempt if you have no experience with DIY/tools/electronics repair. The video tutorial glosses over a few steps but I was able to figure it out. Joycon are now working well, with no drift!

Joysticks work like a charm, however the toolkit that comes with the bundle is horrible. The pry tools are fine, and the Phillips head is fine too, but the tri-head strips the screws and ruined two of my joycons. The tweezers snapped in half after working on the first joycon. Just get the joysticks and invest in proper tools to get the job done, otherwise you'll strip some screws and ruin some joycons. Joysticks would get 5 stars but that toolkit drops it to a 1 cause now I have to buy all new joycons to replace the ones ruined by these cheap tools.

Bought the 2 pair kit. Each pair came in what appears to be the Gulikit OEM box. Tools were okay and I did not need to supplement with using mine. Magnetic tip of "Y" screwdriver is not very magnetic but does that job. I decided to re-use the existing screws so I can't say much about the ones included. I disconnected the battery on both left and right controllers and had no issues on the install. I have 2 other controllers that haven't experienced drift yet but I know it'll happen eventually so I'll be ready. Shipping was fast. I received it next day. I suppose that is more about Amazon than it is on the seller.

Due to drift, I needed to replace my left joy-con joystick, for my original Switch model, from 2017. I like GuliKit controllers, so I gave this pair of replacement joysticks a try. Big note: there're no instructions included, so you need research yourself on how to open, replace, and reassemble the joy-cons.Out of the packaging, I thought the sticks felt crunchy, but once installed, that went away. After replacing both sides, something was off, so I had to re-calibrate the joysticks through the Switch settings. After this, they feel great and there's little to no dead-zone; they are nice and sensitive. If I had to choose, I would prefer these joysicks over the stock ones.Other than the actual joysticks, the tools included aren't good at all. I mean, if you don't already have a tri-bit screwdriver, that one piece might be useful, but try to use both screwdrivers carefully, as they will start to strip right away. The small phillips-head didn't make it through one joy-con repair. I had to use something else while reassembling because it would no longer grip the screws. The pry tools aren't really needed, as the joy-cons come apart rather easily. The plastic tweezers looked useful, but they actually snapped in my hand while I was trying to get a cable attached; I barley used any pressure. Also, I don't know what the brush and suction cup are needed for. Oh, there's also a set of replacement screws too. I didn't need to use them, but if you were to lose a screw they would work fine.I don't know if the claims on the back of the box are true about how they use 50% less power and will give you longer play time. Honestly, I'm just looking forward to being able to use my joy-cons again because these joysticks feel awesome.Overall, I do recommend this product. I could just see knocking off a couple bucks and not include the garbage tool kit. So minus 1 star for the waste.
