Instead of mechanical contact points - which wear out over time and cause stick drift - they use \u003cstrong\u003emagnetic fields for position detection\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result: precise control without drift, virtually no wear, and a significantly longer lifespan than the original joystick module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set includes a left and a right joystick (Type A and Type B), suitable for all Steam Deck LCD models. No soldering required - installation is done by simply inserting and screwing them in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Stick Drift Problem - And the Permanent Solution\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStick drift on the Steam Deck is caused by mechanical wear of the analog joystick potentiometers. The consequence: The character or cursor moves without the stick being touched. A widespread problem that worsens with every hour of gameplay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuliKit's Hall-Effect technology solves this problem at its root: Since there are no mechanical contact points, there is no wear and thus no drift. According to GuliKit tests, the precision is \u003cstrong\u003e±2-3 degrees\u003c\/strong\u003e - measurably better than the original ALPS joysticks (±5 degrees).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- FEATURES BLOCK --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures at a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Stick Drift\u003c\/strong\u003e - Electromagnetic position detection without mechanical wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Soldering Required\u003c\/strong\u003e - Plug-and-play installation without special tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTouch Function Retained\u003c\/strong\u003e - The original touchpad function of the joysticks is fully preserved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-Key Calibration\u003c\/strong\u003e - Calibration at the push of a button directly on the module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e±2-3 Degree Precision\u003c\/strong\u003e - Higher accuracy than the original Steam Deck joystick module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e50% Less Power Consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e - Compared to the previous version from GuliKit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType A \u0026amp;

The modules are simply inserted and secured with screws. With a Phillips screwdriver, installation is possible in approximately 20-30 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the joysticks work with the Steam Deck OLED?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This model is exclusively for the Steam Deck LCD.

The GuliKit set includes both types, along with a switch, so you cannot buy the wrong module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is calibration performed after installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter installation, turn on the Steam Deck, press the small button on the joystick module to start calibration. Then, calibrate the joysticks in SteamOS under Settings → Controller → Calibration.
