What modders are saying
4.4 out of 5 stars · Based on verified community feedback
Saved me from buying new Joy-Cons
Both my kids Joy-Cons were drifting. New Joy-Cons would have cost $160 for two pairs. This kit fixed both for under $15 and the sticks feel better than new. Best money I have ever spent on gaming.
Easiest mod I have ever done
Joy-Cons are surprisingly simple to open. Had both sticks replaced in under 30 minutes total. The tri-wing screwdriver inclusion is a thoughtful touch since most people do not own one.
Perfect fix, wish I did it sooner
Drift was making Zelda unplayable. Installed the GuliKit sticks and the problem is completely gone. The calibration button works perfectly. Only reason for 4 stars is the left ribbon cable was slightly fiddly.
ModZone video call support was incredible
Never opened a controller before. The ModZone tech joined a video call and watched me work through every step. Felt like having an expert friend in the room. Sticks work perfectly now.
Why does Nintendo not use these from the factory?
The difference in quality between Nintendo stock sticks and GuliKit Hall Effect is embarrassing for Nintendo. These feel smoother, more precise, and will never drift. Should be standard equipment.
