In short, they worked great for me. The install and calibration can be done in less than 10 minutes. You'll probably have to calibrate them with the button on the back of each joystick before putting the cover back on, but it's not a huge issue. The container they shipped in also works well to store the original thumbsticks. I wouldn't have minded if you had to solder the caps on, but it does save you a couple of minutes if you ever have to swap back in your old sticks for whatever reason, plus you get a spare set of caps. My left stick's calibration was perfect from the box, but my right one was off a little bit. I had no weird issues with deadzones after calibrating, or with other issues people had with the previous version such as the sticks grinding / scratching / sticking, or the motion not being smooth. If I had to pick a "negative" it would be that one stick is was switched to A and one stick was switched to B from the factory. You should be inspecting this anyway before installing, but I'm sure someone will leave a one star review eventually mentioning the gyro not working correctly. Assuming they hold up over time these are a great replacement for the stock thumbsticks. Just don't expect them to make you a better gamer. Review: Perfect upgrade for steam deck! - Easy to install, works awesome!!!!! ## Features - Gulikit Electromagnetic Module joystick (New model: SD02), designed to perfectly fit Steam Deck Type A and Type B. The included converter allows you to easily select the TYPE you want. (‘Settings → System → Steam Deck Controller ID’, ‘MEDA’ is Type A, ‘MHDA’ is Type B), [Not compatible with OLED version]. - Bid farewell to stick drift, creeping, stuttering, blind spots, non-centered, broken, and loose joysticks with GuliKit's patented 3D Hall Effect Sensor joystick. - No need to worry about soldering, the joystick comes with installation caps that preserve Steam Deck's original touch functionality. If you experience stuck joystick issues, it is due to the cap that comes pre-installed and came loose during shipping. You only need to press the cap vertically down in the center position to use it normally. - Select the Type A or Type B mode on the joystick board, enter the joystick calibration interface on Steam Deck and press the tiny switch on the joystick board if the spot is off the center position. (Follow the installation and calibration steps in our product description picture). - With AKNES, you can confidently enjoy our top customers' support.

It can usually be repaired by pressing down vertically with a little force on the center of the joystick cap. **Q: Why are the joysticks slightly uncentered in the joystick calibration page?** A: The ALPS joystick used by SD has an accuracy of ±5 degrees in the center, GuliKit joystick has an ±3 degrees. Therefore under no dead zone, the joystick may not return to the center exactly each time. It’s normal and will not affect the experience. **Q: What should I pay attention to before installation?** A: 1) Remove your SD card. 2) Confirm that your joystick model is Type A or Type B, and switch the type on the board buttons first. 3) It is best to find relevant video and follow them step by step. 4) Don’t hurt yourself when using tools. **Q: What is the relationship between GuliKit and AKNES?** A: We are the exclusive agent of GuliKit. There are different sellers currently selling. AKNES, focusing on the products we provide, also attaches great importance to buyer services. You can search (AKNES) everywhere to see what we're doing. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SD02 works great with Type B / MHDA thumbsticks *by U***R on June 21, 2023* This is a review for the type B compatible SD02 version of the thumbsticks.

You personally may luck out and never experience this as it doesn't always develop at the same rate and severity for every module as it varies greatly on the amount of time the sticks are used, but given enough time and use it will happen. These hall effect modules are multitudes of times more resistant to drift issues and are much more accurate allowing you to set the dead zone of the stick much lower. If you plan to keep and use your steam deck for years to come, then it's a no brainer to invest in these. These are very easy to install if you have the tools necessary, (a small phillips head screw driver and a plastic pry tool). The only complaint I have is that there are no instructions included in the box and requires visiting the gulikit website for instructions which I highly recommend as if you simply just do a drop in install you may mess up as there is a small switch and button on each module you'll need to use to make sure the sticks are properly adjusted and calibrated as the box makes no mention of these. ## Frequently Bought Together - AKNES GuliKit Joysticks for Steam Deck (Type A & Type B), No Drifting, Hall Effect Sticks Replacement, Left/Right Thumb Grip Parts for Steam Deck Console-Electromagnetic Joystick (No Soldering) - eXtremeRate Face Clicky Kit for Steam Deck Handheld Console, Custom Dpad View A B X Y Menu Keys Face Buttons Mouse Clicky Kit for Steam Deck LCD Console - Without Console - JSAUX 2-Pack Steam Deck Screen Protector, Ultra HD Glass Protector 9H Hardness Easy to Install with Guiding Frame Scratch Resistant Tempered Glass for Steam Deck/Steam Deck OLED, Come with Toolkits --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/455199894-aknes-gulikit-joysticks-for-steam-deck-type-a-and-type](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/455199894-aknes-gulikit-joysticks-for-steam-deck-type-a-and-type) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
