GuliKit TMR Joysticks Fix Switch 2 Joy-Con 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.

GuliKit TMR Joystick Overview

The GuliKit TMR joystick uses electromagnetic sensing for smoother and precise control, a approach that feels almost futuristic, yet you can sense its advantages in practice. 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, which saves time and nerves.
