GuliKit releases TMR joysticks for Switch 2's Joy-Con 2 to solve stick drift

While the Nintendo Switch 2's Joy-Con 2 controllers boast new features, they still use traditional analog potentiometer joysticks. And unlike Hall Effect or TMR joysticks, they are likely to suffer from stick drift after wearing. While, you can simply purchase a third-party controller, you can also simply swap the joysticks for a better one, such as a GuliKit TMR joysticks.

The GuliKit TMR joystick uses electromagnetic sensing for smoother and precise control. It also has a contactless design, so there's no physical wear, and thus no possibility of stick drift. It is also designed to be easily installed into your Joy-Con 2 controller as there's no need for soldering.

Priced at $19.99/€19.99/£16.99 for a pair (left and right thumbsticks), the GuliKit TMR Joystick for Joy-Con 2 is available to buy now. It is sold by Amazon in the US, Amazon UK, and Amazon.de. There are also listings for the thumbsticks on the local Amazon websites for France, Italy, and Spain, but they are currently listed as unavailable. Those in the Netherlands can also pick it up on their local Amazon website.

The folks at iFixit have released a video detailing how to replace the old thumbsticks on the Joy-Con 2 with GuliKit's. There's a written guide for those who prefer text over video. iFixit also sells the GuliKit TMR Joystick for Joy-Con 2, although it's more expensive at $24.99. They also have a $29.99 bundle that includes the pair of joysticks and the tools you need for the replacement.
