Review: GOOD FIT, GOOD PRODUCT - I got this for one of my XBox controllers that started to drift, so annoying. I read this was a good upgrade for the controller. Installation was not hard to understand, there are plenty of YouTube videos on how to do this, and thats how I learned to do it. Now, the hard part is all the soldering. The OE solder is a little bit of a nightmare to undo, if your using just a soldering iron, if you have an actual de-soldering iron it might be easier. But once that old stuff is off, its pretty easy to install these right on. After you get it all back together, you need to plug it into your computer and do a calibration, but that is pretty easy as well and there are videos on this as well. After I did all that, it works GREAT. There is no drift, and it centers just fine. For what you pay for these, its a great value upgrade, just a little tricky to get them install, but its not rocket building. I've had them for a couple months, playing COD and BL4 and have had no issues, they are still working great. I will buy again for my other controllers.
Review: Work as advertised. Desoldering the old one is not fun. At all. - These worked fine. Installation was easy. A lot of people recommend having soldering experience. The soldering isn’t the problem. I recommend having DE-soldering experience. That’s definitely the hard part. Especially with components that have multiple pins and even worse, multiple pins on different sides of the component like these joysticks do. Compounded by double layer PCB’s because you have to remove the solder from the joint AND all the way through the hole to release the pin from the board. So how do you do that or how do you heat the solder on 8-10 pins at the same time to remove the component? That’s the challenge. I can tell you how I did it, but I don’t recommend it because it’s risky and you can very easily damage the PCB beyond repair. I think I saw some tools that allow you to heat all of the pins at once. That would make this a simple job if you can find and afford one of those and I’d consider looking into it if I have to do this again. Otherwise you can risk it and do what I did which was to cut the pins between the component and the PCB with a dremel. That way you can desolder and remove one pin at a time. But one slip and touch the board with the Dremel blade and you can, and probably will ruin the PCB. I’m not sure if you can buy a replacement PCB but swapping that would really suck and at that point I think it would be better to scrap the repair and just buy a new controller.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is TMR electromagnetic joystick rather than Hall electromagnetic joystick?**
A: Original controller uses a constant power supply design, with about 1mA limited. Power consumption of single TMR is between 0.1mA-0.3mA, while single linear Hall consume 0.5mA-2mA.

**Q: Is the resolution of the TMR joystick much higher than Hall effect joysticks?**
A: No. For controllers, the bandwidth of these three types is sufficient. The resolution mainly depends on the sampling precision of the backend MCU So resolution, polling rate, and others will be same with the original.

**Q: Is the power consumption of the TMR joystick much lower than the Hall joystick?**
A: If just the sensor, TMR is lower. But if the controller uses Hall joysticks(Like KK3), technical methods were used to control the power consumption to 0.1-0.3mA, which makes no big difference on the battery life.

**Q: Why GuliKit TMR is not compatible with Xbox Elite/Xbox One?**
A: Because there are no good software/tools available to perform joystick calibration.

**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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice sticks when you get a pair from a good batch!
*by H***G on March 18, 2025*

Well, I finally got a pair of these sticks and then put them into my Xbox controller. Out of the gate, I checked the calibration on them and it was very odd. The right stick is fluctuating up and down rapidly. The left stick seems to be fine. I did calibrate both and the right stick still seems odd. I did take apart my controller to check out the stick. I moved it around and could hear some odd clicking inside of it. I moved the left and it is smooth and doesn't have any clicking. I'm thinking the right stick has a bad defect. After calibratring, I noticed the sticks do not go back to the middle like another controller I have with hall effect sticks. The TMR sticks are usually on the outside of the center. When playing games, pushing the right stick to the right, left, up, or down causes movement but only for a few seconds. Then I have to stop moving it then do it again and it does the same thing. So, I can't just hold the stick in one direction to get continuous movement. It's really annoying because these sticks are brand new. I had chose Aknes Gulikit because I bought a pair of hall effect sticks to install in my Steamdeck and they were perfect. The TMR sticks for the Xbox, not so much. To say the least, I'm pretty disappointed. I hope Gulikit or Aknes reaches out to me for some replacements. I'd like to this right stick working properly. Maybe I will change the score and review if I do get replacements and they work fine but for now, buyers need to be aware. UPDATE: Alright, I did get a replacement pair of new sticks. I installed them and noticed right away, these were more accurate! I did not hear or feel the clicking happening in the new right stick while moving it around! I also tested the return to center and while absolute 0 is impossible, I am now at a .00002 on both sticks, left and right. This means, it's basically a zero. These new sticks are way better than the previous pair I had purchased. I can only think that there is a bad batch out there. Regardless, these new sticks deserve a 5 star all the way! Thank you AKNES and Gulikit!
