Amazing quality, dead zone is dead
The media could not be loaded. Ordered these as my right stick had just started to get some drift. Really quick and easy install, open the case, remove a ribbon cable and a few screws per stick and the install in reverse order. These fit the housing like for like! Check whether you have the type A or type B sticks before the install so you know where to flick the tiny switch on the gulikit board. I found that the recalibration was much better by going to desktop mode and using the konsole command thumbstick_cal and following the on screen instructions.As you can see from the video, the quality and the type of the sticks mean that the steam deck stick dead ones can be reduced WAY down as the sticks are really well calibrated and the calibrations test shows them not moving at all from the centre of the zone. They're now really responsive and feel very well built and snappy. I'd probably not have sprung for these just as a regular upgrade, but if you have a stick giving you some drift then why replace them with OEM like for like sticks when these much higher quality ones can be dropped in for a similar price, and 10 minutes work.

Easy upgrade
Great upgrade and easy process to fit into SteamDeckI would say this is 100% worth the upgrade.Just make sure you recalibrate your dead zones after install!

Great replacement to the OEM option, mine has slight stick drift, however.
Not sure what to make of these, obviously being hall effect sensors they do feel better than the standard Steam Deck sticks but the right one exhibits a slight bit of stick drift which is incredibly irritating, I don't think it's an installation issue as they aren't exactly difficult to install and if I pull the stick out slightly, the drift stops, other than that they're great.

Massively reduced deadzones - remember to set the switches to A/B model depending on your Deck
Really easy to fit and no soldering necessary on the new versions is fantastic.Only issue I had was my own mistake, mine were set up out of the box with one for an A model (mine) and the other was set to B model. Once I'd re-assembled it and calibrated the new sticks, touch wasn't working on one of them. I quickly disassembled it and noticed that the non-working was set to work on a revision B model Deck.Once I'd flipped the switch and re-assembled it, it worked perfeclty.My deadzones on the new sticks are far lower than the stock ones and both of them are working great.Defintely worth considering if you want tighter deadzones on your Deck.

Problems on both sticks
Left stick wouldn't register max input even if tilted all the way in 2/4 directions.Right stick worked fine at first, then straight up died.Reverted to official Valve parts, couldn't be happier. Hall effect is nice and all, but some major QA issues with this one.
