They installed easily without much hassle, joystick are more sensitive and feel a whole lot better. The box of joystick in the second photo is the stock joysticks. They look identical! 1:1

I replaced the fan in my 2 plus year old steam deck and decided to upgrade the sticks on a bit of a whim. I didnt want to open it up again, and I figured at 30 bucks I couldn't go wrong. I have used my Deck a lot since I got it in August of 2022 and didn't realize how bad my sticks had gotten until i put these in. These just feel great. The process was very simple. In about 45 minutes I was able to replace the sticks and the fan and get the deck bak together. If you have to open your deck up for any reason I would recommend replacing the sticks and (and the fan for that matter). My only wish is that the sticks had black tops like the OLED model. That gives the whole deck a much cleaner look to me.

They are smoother in action, but the dead zone is bigger than the original joysticks. I can tune it in SteamOS to make it not drift, but if you use Windows or any other OS on your Steam Deck you will get incurable joystick drift. Edit Sept 2024: I bought the Steam Deck OLED joysticks. I kept my old LCD Steam Deck with these joysticks and I had the OLED Steam Deck for almost a year with the original joysticks. It was easier to test the difference side by side. I noticed the Hall effect joysticks were much more precise and responsive (I still don’t get why they say these don’t have drift though. The joystick returns to the center with basically a spring, Just like a traditional joystick, so as the spring wears out or holds a position slightly off perfect center, it can drift. The only thing that prevents it from drifting is the ability to adjust the joystick deadzone in SteamOS, The functional difference between these Hall effect joysticks and traditional is that traditional joysticks use potentiometers which is a variable resistor that has brush contacts so it can read out difference resistances to determine the joystick’s position. This means it can wear out and be vulnerable to dust and static to give bad readings. The Hall effect joystick uses a magnet on the joystick and a sensor to detect the magnet’s position. Since the sensor is very sensitive it can articulate many times the amount of positions a potentiometer could. ) While my original comment still applies, I’ve decided that overall these are better than the original joysticks in game. You can make much finer movements with them. My new right stick unfortunately still occasionally drifts in games running on my Windows dual boot. The touch sensing wire connected to my left thumb stick was a little short. This caused the wire to snag when I was circling the sticks to test the feel of it. This prevented some movement. Thankfully I didn’t close the Steam Deck up yet so I took it out to look and I didn’t have to desolder the wire. I just had to use a utility knife to very carefully cut the glue they had covering the wire near the solder joint. The glue made the wire stiff and took away a few mm of slack which was needed. After I cut off the glue, I was able bend the wires so that they don’t rub and snag against the joystick component anymore. I played a few games and it works great.

Color: Steam Deck
Bought this kit as soon as I saw it available for the Type B (MHDA) joysticks. I had already upgraded the NVMe drive of my Steam Deck, so opening it back up was simple as before. Just go slow and be careful not to strip any of the screws, and make sure you remove your microSD card if you have one. From beginning to end, it probably only took about 15 minutes including calibration to install these new joysticks. Mine were slightly low of center even after multiple attempts using the button on the back, but running thumbstick_cal in desktop mode fixed it so now it's perfectly calibrated at 0,0. As others have said, this new revision still has the downsides of a square outer deadzone and that the joysticks max out at about 80% throw (e.g., if you press forward on the joystick 80% to max, it will always register 100%). I feel like most people won't notice the difference or can adapt to it, but nonetheless it would be nice if they fixed this for any future revisions. However, I would not recommend using these to control an underwater submersible due to this small inaccuracy.

Color: Steam Deck OLED
Bought these to replace the stock thumbsticks in my steam deck OLED. Upon receiving them, I unboxed them to make sure there was no damage incurred during shipping & to ensure the caps were on securely. Installation was extremely easy, took about 25 mins for me to replace both my thumbsticks. Once I replaced the thumbsticks & put the back plate back on, powered on the steam deck and calibrated the thumbsticks. The thumbsticks were working immediately after calibration. Both thumbsticks returned to center with absolutely no problems. In conclusion, this is one of the first upgrades I got for my steam deck and I can safely say it is the best money I have spent on my steam deck OLED.
